Any mason, having taking the oath and obligations, are bound by those oaths only to convey certain information to those who are rightfully entitled to it. If you wish to receive additional information about the fraternity, I would strongly suggest, if you are a Male, 21 years of age or older(18 in some jurisdictions) and of good moral character. Please contact your local lodge (normally found in the yellow pages under "fraternal organizations") and speak with someone about joining.
All of that being said, anything, anyone wishes to know about masonry can be found on the internet, but you will NOT see actual ritual work, wording, or masonic information which is regarded as being ritual in nature, put here by any actual mason.

Because that is what we promised to do. And a Freemason is known for keeping his word!!

It is also about being true to yourself and your word as a man. The oath is held close to my heart. If I break that oath…to me… it's like breaking my own heart. That’s the way I look at it.

freemasonry is certainly not a cult,it was a congregration of very intelligent,men working with stone workers to build perfect places for god to visit while here on earth.they also used to have a book called the shepards journal,with it they created things like our capitol building and the pentagon.
the only unfortunate thing i see with masons now is they dont seem to know that" so mote it be" is what red witches say at the end of a prayer to a witch and never even reaches god our true deity.when i first was awakened with the laying on of hands at 33 years of age i was to do 3 more years of constant tests day and night i thought it was a calling by god himself,but it was way more.when i was twelve years old i was hiking with my brother and i found something thats been lost for a long long time.my grandfather was a mason so were 200yrs of my mothers side of my family justus,like in the bible it says justus is jesus.my fathers side is the ancient scottish clan davidson,meaning son of david,my dads name is david davidson even,my mothers name is mary and my brothers name is james.
it took me a few thousand hours to figure out who i really am but in 4 months i will find the grail ship my brother and i found 25 years ago when i was 12.
by the way masons,say amen at the end of your prayers and things what youve been doing we have been watching and god our father thinks as i do but he is there and im here. very soon i will be requesting all of your help to rebuild the all seeing eye. in answer to that remark,it takes you to the heavens 2 planets 7 times earths size 50 percent iron 50 percent livable planet,i went there when i was 12yrs old daylight all the time no night carressing the suns surface.im tired of all the bs of this world,so is my father arthur but we figured a way out of this crap here a solution of sourts.
look up templar knights find out who was the real lord of all lords king of all kings also called the fisher king it was arthur i know it to be true i met him between here and the first heaven.
saint george washington,saint thomas jefferson,and benjamin franklin of the benjamites.we the people deserve more happiness

Very interesting response. I must admit however, you have confused me with the reteric. I unfortunately couldn't follow a lot of the additional statements which you have written concerning, planets, heavens, iron and livable.

Not to sound rash, but are you living on earth or just visiting?? I apologize in advance for my ignorance.

looks like we might have a forum troll, poping out to attempt at creating confusion and conflict...

Unless that is, Son of David. Can you clairify your statements in a uhm sane manner?

Whatever the world says a ring is just a ring and nothing bad can happen from it unless you believe Narnia is true.
