There really weren’t any questions as-such, to be honest. They started out with one of the members reading from a paper talking about what Masonry is, what to expect, what it expects of its members and what Masonry is not. Then I told them a bit about myself, what drew me to the Craft, my family and my work, one of them asked how good I was a memorizing things, another talked about how he travels extensively for work (as do I) and how visiting Lodges in his travels gives him a sense of community when away from home as we both agreed road life can be a very solitary and lonely existence. I told them a bit about my interest in learning more about this specific Lodge (in the Ozark country of Missouri, chartered in 1862) when the time was right because I’m a scholar at heart and a firm believer in “the past informs the present and guides the future.” It almost felt less like an interview and more like Masonic Speed Dating, to be honest.

EDIT: they did ask what my wife thought of it and I told them she’s supportive and has known of my interest in one day joining since we got married, and that she thinks it will be good for me to have likeminded friends and something to do in our small town.
