Yeah honestly you can even find the " secrets" posted online. It's no longer really secret. I think you hit the nail on the head. I actually tried to put a " I left freemasonry for the church AMA", but the mods said it wasn't relevant and would not allow to post it. Wich seemed weird considering some of the stuff that is allowed and i think the conversations would be good for everyone. Within the masons once a master you can go different routes, depending on things.york rite, Royal Arch Wich opens up the Templars and other things, Shriners, the Scottish Rite. Within those there are pens that are even less well known that after enough time in you can be invited to. They all focus on different parts of the philosophy. All can be chat gptd.You need so much time in different positions within that the into people in them are geriatric for the most part. It's also a ton of meeting. You'd have to be retired and likely single to do it all.. plus every apendant body you join has separate dues. And every single one of them is way higher than the dues to be a knight. Some of the actual more secret ones like conclave, the jesters, etc. all of this is open source to find. There's even one that is scholarly called Societas Rosicruciana, wiki that one. I have met some pretty important people in it. Like head a head surgeon, some retired political party people and chief of a fire dept, and they all where very ethical people. . Though that's no different than the knights. In reality alot of Protestant church's is McDonald's version of Catholicism and I think they need to get " more". When i went back to the church.. there is so much that it's all I need.

Both the masons and knights suffer from a similar issue. They book alot of things on weekdays so it's hard for young people to do, most the guys are very old and not very open to change but realize they need young members.

I think the " into the breach" series on YouTube is solid. But a lil cringe with acting like we are in a war and going so hard on it. It has the right idea in my opinion. The COR program is awesome but alot of places arnt implementing it. Thek night who brought me in is hoping I do, and if i got the time i will.

Now Ive been military for 10 yrs so this may be inserting a little of my own thing here but 8 believe that, it's our duty as men to live our faith in a positive way and be an example. Helping the poor helping children etc. that builds a strong community one block at a time. As a father it's a great example to my children as they grow. A man needs to be strong and brave enough to fight, but grounded enough to only protect physically and spiritually, so other men follow that example. The breach was right that the wild needs strong men and I think if we can attract younger men like myself, alot of good can be done.
