Ok, I have 10 minutes before I have to leave for school so I'm going to make this short and simple. I am currently about to start my process in joining the Freemasons. My only concern before I start is time. I've heard from people that have parents in the Freemasons that once you start joining your time is basically the Freemasons. For example, If a brother needed something or something at the lodge needed to be done, it is your first priority. Basically, if a brother calls, you answer, immediately, no if's, and's, or but's. I do not really believe it is that serious. Basically what I need to know is, obviously I am in my senior year. I start my first job tomorrow. Will the Freemasons ask of me things that will interfere with my schoolwork or my work in general? I think everyone I've talked to is just exaggerating. Believe me, any minute if I am not at school or working my time is up for grabs. You could also answer this with something along the lines as to, when you joined, how much of your time is needed? I stated above, I have time, but I also have responsibilities as well as every other Freemason. You would all understand my commitments correct? This is probably my only concern. Also why I am here though, because I still am currently IN school, would that be a problem? Do you have to graduate prior to joining? I know I could probably research all this but it makes me feel better asking Masons because honestly I trust your opinions more than internet sources or people in real life that may not really know. Thanks in advance.
