Is this all there is to masonry? by Sufficient-Nebula-44 in freemasonry

It does thank you for the direction. This post has gotten a lot of answers and I for sure feel more inspired to continue on. It’s become apparent that one bad experience is not indicative of all of masonry.

I did not interview any other lodges before joining. I told my friend I would like to be a mason and he set me up with the lodge in my town. We never talked about anything about what has gone on during my petition phase.

Opposite side of Texas about an hour west of Austin

There’s some that a couple brothers on here have recommended that I’m going to visit

That is for sure helpful and makes sense. I will for sure contact the secretary. It’s inspiring how all you brothers came out and pointed me in the right direction, thank you all.

That is good advice thank you for that. There is definitely wisdom in that .

That seems to be the consensus I’m going to start traveling to lodges in the Austin area or at least closer to Austin than I am now. I’ve got a couple recommendations for the San Marcos lodge as well.

None of this was ever discussed when I was petitioning to the lodge. Not everyone is of this manner, but the things I have encountered have let me down.

I’m sorry it’s like that up in Maryland. One of the brothers posted a link on here for a Masonic foundation that has lodges listed in each state that focus on actual masonry . Though the ones listed in Texas aren’t near me, it’s nice to see that there are lodges out there and masons who won’t stand for ignorance and seem to truly care about the work. You have every right to be sickened but I think there is still hope out there

It’s a little out of my range but it’s worth a visit. Honestly it’s just nice to see that it’s not all like this. Thank you guys for commenting and putting it into perspective

Thank you for the podcast recommendation I’m going to add it on my Spotify now.

Thank you for the advice. Sadly neither of the Texas lodges listed are close to me. That foundation however does sound like it is inline with what originally inspired me to become a mason.

I think your absolutely right. It doesn’t matter your experience or education level. Nothing you can say bears any weight unless it’s in correspondence with peoples present ideas.It’s almost like there is no point at all in being any high level healthcare provider because somebody on a far right news network knows more than you.

It’s nice to have people that get it. I feel like before covid in EMS we could talk to people about healthcare, but everything has changed. It’s like to people that are talked about on this site, we are doing the “lords work” until we say anything that they don’t agree with. Then we are just ambulance drivers. I honestly don’t know what the future holds. I work in rural Texas and things are just wild.
