I have been interested in joining the masons since I was a teenager but I have a lot of questions as you can imagine. First off it seems that the masons want more members, considering I saw the advertisement for this website on myspace.com, people don't usually market their organization to not get members, but it seems there are a few hurdles. First, I do not know any masons, I believe it is correct that I have to know a mason for at least a year, how do I go about joining if I know in advance I'm sort-of disqualified. Secondly, I am not a christian, I do believe in God, but I don't subscribe to any organized religion. I used to be a Christian but I simply cannot believe that the earth is only 6k years old, dinosaurs are a trick form the devil, or that Jonah lived for weeks in the belly of a whale. I don't believe in the literal version of the bible. I hope that doesn't disqualify me. Third, (sorry so many questions in one post) I'm 24 and I lost my job at an automotive glass supplier, in the mean time I have returned to college, and my wife works full-time. My spare time is usually spent with my children, how much time per week am I required to be at the lodges and such, and if for some reason I can't make meetings, will I be kicked out? Or if something life changing comes up and I no longer have time can I quit? O.k. sorry this post was so wordy and has so much info but I want you all to just get a feel for my situation and my personality, I look forward to your responses.
