As far as I know, three moderators are masons. I don't know if the owners or Mr. Avila are masons.

If you're interested in joining and want to find out more/get to know some of the brothers, you should.

i'm a little intimidated. i've been on a tour of the lodge here (after the $16,000,000 remodeling job) and most of the members seem to be very well off...

Internal qualities are what make a man suitable to be a mason---and are what a mason should use as the qualifications of any candidate.

ETA--- In other words, your social status or income level are not proper yardsticks of your eligibility.

All masons are on an equal level with no man better than another. Attend, it will change your life for the better.

I didn't know you were a mod.

I guess I should visit the CZ forum once in a while....a SP01 with bayonet is mighty tempting.

Well, as for the Masonic Lodge, the MM degree is the highest. I'm not sure what you mean by 'upper echelon' unless you mean York/Scottish Rite and/or Shrine.

I'm York/Shrine if that's what you have a question about.

Look through your local phone book to find a nearby lodge, or go to google and search for "Grand Lodge of <insert your state here>". Most Grand Lodge websites that I've visited have a section with lodge listings by town/zip/county/something to that effect.

got raised last year.

find a lodge you are comfortable in. not all lodges and formal attire with big money.

becoming a mason is one of the best things i have done, wish i had done it years ago.

There is nothing to be intimidated about. Masonry is a way of life and has nothing to do with financial status or anything physical in nature. What matters is inside.

Aren't the masons supposed to not tell people that they're masons?

Why would any mason choose to hide his membership?

MM Here, Officer in Rose Croix line, Past presiding officer of all york rite bodies (no KYCH yet), Honorary Legion of Honor from DeMolay, member of AMD, YRC, Rosicrucians, etc..

Check it out the lodge welcome or friendship night if you're interested, but don't join out of curiosity, if you join, you will get the most out of it if you are willing and able to commit the time and energy to it to learn and participate in ritual.
