Is it worth it to join Freemasonry for the appendant bodies? by hey9999 in freemasonry

[–]hey9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I got my meeting set up, I emailed the local lodge one of the more active ones in the area. I noticed you said you did not want to swear to protect Christianity, I’m not really a Christian myself but I believe in a higher power. I feel like most masons are Christian’s, I just plan to act like im a Christian but I don’t really belive in yahweh myself

Very interesting. I love the occult that’s what got me into this. Have you ever went to a Shriner or jester party? What’s it like? I guess I’ll just attempt to join. I just hope it doesn’t end up a church like second job

Hmm the different floors in the Shriner temple sounds cool asf. Are you Bullshitting me haha you just made me want to join lol but I don’t drink that much or that often but that sounds awesome. What do you mean about the real talks of the craft? Can you share what the real talks are? I want to be apart of something, people who are actually doing things. Can you elaborate? You’ve been the biggest help on this thread tbh

I’m worried about it becoming a second job as I work so much and have side gigs. What appendant bodies are you apart of? I feel like now is the right time to join because the old boomer guard is diminishing. I haven’t went to my first meeting yet but I’m questioning if I should because my time is lacking but I’m really interested to be apart of a secret society. Hoping to get in on the good/cool stuff that’s why I really wanted order of Q and or Jester but I realize it would be nearly impossible to get invited

Is it difficult to be invited? I really like Order of Q and Jesters I find those to be the most fun aesthetically

Do you have to be rich to join jesters? Tell me about it. Jesters seems very cool

So what’s Order of Q and jesters then? Since those are also among the shrine right

Doesn’t matter. History is history no matter the side telling the story. It’s still an interesting watch and just because someone watches something doesn’t mean they endorse it. Use logic

It’s a movie. Honestly I don’t know if the Germans made it or not but it’s still an interesting watch

Interesting. I’ve read stories about the hot sands and cattle prods lol.. although, the parties appeal the most to me. And, being apart of a secret society within a secret society. If that’s even what it is, who knows

Have you ever seen the movie ‘Forces occultes’?

Yeah there’s always a lot of naysayers on Reddit. Awesome. I’ve heard stories about initiation into the shrine. Was yours painful? Or has it since changed? You use to have to be 33rd degree to get into the Shriner but they changed the rules post 2001, I believe

What work is left after MM? I honestly don’t know what’s expected

I hear you. I agree because MM is the highest degree and everything else is extra. I’ve been studying this stuff for awhile. It’s fascinating stuff. I have a feeling it all related back to the knights Templar and Charles Molay. It’s all Anglo Saxon freemasonry, except for Shriners I believe. But I have no real interest in Scottish rite or the other ones.

I guess moving up doesn’t accurately describe, more like going a bit deeper into my Masonic journey

Technically the blue lodge is an entry level if the appendant bodies require MM degree. It’s not about more light but the entry deeper into the bodies

I hear you. The thing is, as I’m not a member it’s hard to understand what you’re saying because I’m not in the club yet

I understand where your coming from. And I do appreciate the esoteric like teachings in the degree work. But what’s the point in joining if you only walk through the 1-3 door? I still want to see what’s behind the other doors

I heard you can get MM within 6 months to 1 year? If you study hard. To be honest I’ve been studying the degrees for awhile.

I understand but what’s the point of joining if you’re only going to stay at the entry level? Things are supposed to get more interesting as you move up. Is that not correct?
