No. It is sometimes said that Freemasonry is a “Society with secrets, not a secret society.” In point of fact, however, any purported Masonic “secrets” were made public several centuries ago in London newspapers, and today can be found in the Library of Congress, on the Internet, and in many books on the subject. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “The great secret of Freemasonry is that there is no secret at all.”

how can i join the free mason, and is it ture that my life can be better where wealth is concern

Chris from the UK: The adage “you get out, what you put in” holds true to many parts of life. In Masonry, it is true that many doors open for the Master Mason in good ways. The thought that one should join any fraternal organization for personal gain or to have a financial advantage is not part of Masonry. I have seen the notation that a man might join the Masons to better his lot in life, to enhance his resume and make many connections. These thoughts, while they indeed happen over time for many, should not be the reason to become a member, Friendship, Charitable intent and service and the betterment of mankind must be the driving force for the applicant. For those others, for personal gain as a motive, the application process to become a Mason clarifies this issue and eliminates those that should look elsewhere. Ron Doucette - Moderator

John F. Kennedy warned America about secret societies, that take secret oaths and pledges and answer to no one. He was unfortunately assassinated. Was JFK speaking of the free masons and the illuminati? We know as fact the federal reserve is a private corporation, privately owned and they answer to no one. They control wars, economic markets, and the people and government themselves through debt. Congress knows little about them, they have their meetings behind closed doors and only with the board members. Please explain…

What is this business about a new world order? Do the masons and illuminati and bankers have something to do with that? Why is North America being tricked into a North American union just like the Europeans? Why is the Amero going to be our new currency? More control? Living in a supposed free and open society (The USA), why do we need secret organizations?

Oh and by the way? Why is the sculpture of George Washington depicted as Baphomet (The Goat of Mendes), the pagan God, in the Free Mason temple in Washington D.C.? He is topless...(A presidential sculpture being topless??) His right arm points to the sky while his left arm points to the ground, and he wears a loin cloth. Every single depiction of Baphomet has his right arm pointing to the sky while his left points to the ground. He is topless, and wears a loin cloth. AND a Free Mason created this sculpture of George Washington. Please explain this, and please do not deviate. I want to learn more about Free Masonry and its secret practices...lets just say i’m writing a school paper…

These are just a few questions that I am sure the grand masters should be able to answer truthfully...seeing that “truth” is a free mason virtue.

I have documented my access to this site, and kept a visual and written record. If my message somehow becomes deleted or edited, or my access to this site is banned, I will take that as my questions being silenced by the moderators of this website in order to conceal any truth behind my statements.

With that, have a great day and I look foward to readin your responses.

Holy Star Trek, Batman!

Those were a lot of questions, Jean Luc. Thanks for taking the time to write.

Other than Truth being a tenant of Freemasonry, (and a virtue of every good Mason) your suppositions are simply incorrect. Most of the answers to your questions can be found in different posts in this forum, however – a perusal should help you find them.

In the meantime, I think I can say with all due respect that John Kennedy would not have been an American President without the sacrifice and work of early American Freemason patriots – and John Kennedy was not speaking of the Masons when he spoke about secret societies.

Freemasonry is not a secret society. Our buildings are marked and our members show emblems on their cars and lapels. It has nothing to do with economic markets, wars, governments, the Federal Reserve, the illuminati, currencies, Baphomet (please), or any new world orders. We are a fraternal organization that gives over $3 million dollars a day to charity – and uses metaphor to teach men how to become better – and yes, perhaps even great men.

I hope you have a chance to experience Freemasonry. You seem like a bright chap. Not sure where you live or where you are from from your registration – but all of the Ambassadors on this Forum provide their true names and locations. None are Star Trek characters. We are here to assist those who would like to join the Fraternity.

We also rarely bar anyone from the site. We do try to keep it on target, however. There are plenty of other sites out there where you can run wild with conspiracy theories. This is not one of them. If you want to learn more about becoming a Freemason, please stay on.

In the meantime, it’s 7pm EDT in New England. The sun is setting and I’m going to put a couple of Portobello mushrooms on the grill, open a bottle of American merlot, and have a little dinner. Controlling the world will have to wait.
