There are some misconceptions on what it takes to be a Freemason. Some think you CANNOT request to join - that it is by invitation ONLY.
But here in Mississippi in the USA that is not true. In fact, WE CANNOT ask you to join!
Here is more information about what it takes to join the freemason.

love your channel bro. keep informing and en-lighting people
Thank you
I will like to join too
What time is it
How to be a member in india 🙏
Very helpful and inspiring. Thank you.
You are very welcome.
Great channel, a lot of great information... my town is holding an open house this month. Im def thinking of going down and inquiring on joining
It is great to hear that they are doing that. I hope you have an awesome experience.
I think one thing that should be added is find out if the lodge you are thinking about inquiring to join isn't clandestine. Also, you may want to add a link or make a video on where people can find their local lodges.
Keep in mind, newcomers most likely don't know about the clandestine lodges.
That's a very valid point, thank you.
Like these guys..... www.internationalmasons.org/index.html
Tom Rice
From someone who is already in, Supreme President/Chief Executive Officer sounds super super off.
Thanks for the share.
BTW, I've heard of some horrible stories with people joining clandestine lodges. There was one I heard of where they make you do a stupid amount of push ups and other stuff when you join. This one guy had asthma, and died because of it.
I heard of stories where some lost tens of thousands of dollars to fake groups.
For my understanding, this has gotten to the point of being a serious matter, and I wish there was some legal action against these fake groups. At least the ones that mess people over
+Craig Bennett II being raised in a Canadian lodge...I thought that Clandestine lodges were just here say... But after reading up about it, there is some major money grabs down in the states claiming to be affiliated with the Fraternity....In some cases there is a a grey area between PHA and Clandestine lodges.
Tom Rice
It isn't only here in the states, it is around the world.
The thing I hate about it is some of them really give us a horrible name. Some are a sex party, and some are the satanic crap the nut jobs blame us of being.
But as you said, most are simply a cash grab. I heard of 1 that the head hired his family. They make between 13 million to 300k a year per person and depending on their position. Obviously the lodges don't know any better, and some of the lodges actually have holes in their walls Sadly, the members even think they are masons because they never heard of a clandestine lodge.
I'm floored on how things like this isn't highly illegal.
Now to be clear, I don't have problems with the ones that are doing good things, and is treating their members good. Some of those in fact can become recognized. But sadly, the bad out does the good. Also as I said before, some don't even know they are in a clandestine lodge.
I heard of some actually contacting the grand lodge of the state for some request because they thought they were a real lodge (and the GL never heard of them).
You made the video... Very informative. Thank you!
Greetings again, haven't commented on a video of yours in a while, but a question for you: I've been told that a person should visit different lodges in his local area to see which one will be a good fit for him. How does one go about doing that? Just call up and say "hey I'm coming over", or some other more formal route to take?
Basically. Most jurisdictions have a list of lodges and their masters and secretaries. If possible I would reach out to the secretary and essentially say "I am wishing to petition a lodge for membership, but I know the culture in each lodge can be a little different, so if it is okay I would like to come visit and meet the members of your lodge and see if I am a good fit, like I am doing with other lodges." He'll then likely tell you when their next dinner is and invite you to come to that.
Another very informative video...Thanks again!
Many Grand Lodges now permit bringing up the subject of Freemasonry, as is the case here in PA, however many Brothers are still uncomfortable broaching the subject, so in reality it is still 2B1 - ASK1.
hello keith,im saad,im also interested to join freemason,here its my email,jamessaad13@gmail.com,+255762884399,or you may help to meet with brothers in freemason,im live in mwanza-tanzania(east africa)
Saad, I have since that above post, been raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. You need to find out if there is a Grand Lodge in your Country or Province and contact them. It appears on this website that the UGLE sponsers a District Grand Lodge for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzinia and the Seychelles. Check it out: www.dgleastafrica.org/ As it is the internet I can't guarantee accuracy, but it looks legit on the surface.
I am contemplating if I should join, but I would assume there are annual dues you need to pay. Right now, I am a broke college student living paycheck to paycheck and don't know if I can afford the dues. Are they high?
hello jerry, I like your videos about freemasonry. Do you know if there is freemasonry in colombia?
There are, confusingly, multiple Grand Lodges recognized by the UGLE in Columbia: ugle.org.uk/about/foreign-grand-lodges
Ask and it shall be given you seek and you shall find
Indeed
So mote it be.
You do a great job on this channel brother!
Thank you very much, and thank you for being a part of it!
I what to join frermason
Been trying to “join” thanks for the video
Hi Brother,
My wish in this life to be a member of Freemasons, what can i do to be one of them, am from middle east, where i can find local lodges to join.
Regards,
Sam
I would search for a Grand Lodge in your area via this website: ugle.org.uk/about/foreign-grand-lodges
Question, if one were to send a letter, introducing themselves along with the petition, would that be acceptable?
can I join if I've been arrested. I have a sort of checkered past and I'm trying to move forward and improve my life. if I'm sincere about joining and following the rules and do whatever I can to be a good role model and I'm honest about my life so far, do you think I have a good chance of joining?
It depends on the jurisdiction. Here in MS only a conviction of a felony would automatically disqualify you.
Have you done a video going over how much work it takes to be a Freemason? As in, how much daily time it takes to read what your supposed to read, memorize what you are to memorize, and how many meetings you are to attend?
I ask this because I heard it's beneficial to get experience of Temple ritual work under ones belt. Freemasonry was recommend as a good place to start. The HOGD was also mentioned as being a good organization for this.
I've touched on it in some videos, but not one specifically about it. In Freemasonry you are able to chose how much work to put into it. Some jurisdictions may have other requirements that I am not familiar with.
Thank you.
I am highly interested in joining the Freemasons. The thing is...even though I did a lot of research about it and KNOW that to be one you have to ask one, I happen to have a friend whose father WAS actually invited to become a Freemason. Anyways, as far as I know he and my friend had the chance to attend to an Initiation ceremony and what my friend told me about it is that only politicians, well known lawyers, highly skilled doctors, and other "higher society" members have the chance to join Freemasonry. So may I ask why only people like them get to do so?
There are a few jurisdictions that do allow their members to ask people to join. But no, the lodges that do the first three degrees, known as Symbolic or Blue Lodges are NOT invite-only. And, no, you need not be in a position of power or such to be a member, that would go directly against the fundamental teachings of Freemasonry. However, yes, there are invite-only appendant bodies, but you must already be a Master Mason, and perhaps other things as well, before you can be invited into those groups.
What is a Mason thank you very much
Is it required that I be married or have a family of my own to be qualified to join? Can I join as a single unmarried man?
You do not have to be married nor have children in order to join. There are plenty of bachelor freemasons out there.
Been thinking about it im admit it but is it worth it?
Hey , thanks for video
im from Morocco and i want join , i cant find oine with masons and lodge plz can u help me to join thanks
Hello I wanted to join us but I don't know we're I can find find in my country Malaysia. .

Don't do it become a Christian join Jesus Christ believe that he died for the whole world sins admit that you are a sinner and then you will accept Christ Jesus as your savior all this other stuff just send you straight to hell heaven or hell you choose just remember once you take your last breath it's a done deal
🗣... asking ... thanks for sharing brother....
hey . if we're living in a country like iran . what should we do!?? we don't have a ground lodge... to go to ...
2 options:
1) Facilitate a change in your country to where Freemasonry is not illegal.
2) Go somewhere else.
I've finished watching your all of your videos. I want to join the fraternity and become a Freemason but the only thing is, I don't know any Freemasons within the state of Georgia. Is there any advice you can give me on how to join if I don't know anyone who is a mason?
It might surprise you that you likely do know a Master Mason, but they don't advertise it, or aren't active, or something along those lines. Still though, that doesn't help you right now. The only thing you can do is use the Grand Lodge of Georgia's website to find a local lodge, call and show up and talk to someone about your interest. It's the only way. www.glofga.org/index.php/grand-lodge/lodge-directory
The Bible forbids secret oaths unless in court and secret deeds in the dark and says clearly it's of the devil. If you join this false secret society to plot against the people of God and spread your lies you will be struck down by God sooner or later. He will wait...
Can I join
+Unknown Guy Point me where in the bible I can find that.

Hello, I live in Youngstown, Oh. and would like to join but I'm having trouble finding place. Can you help?

Thank you!
Are you a Mason Mr Jeff
Hello ... My question is, I live in Jordan and I want to join the Freemasonry, but I can not find a place to join him or anyone to help me ............ And when I did what you said i could not find anything to help me
There is nothing anybody online can really do for you, except tell you who to contact. I would suggest the Grand Lodge of Israel. www.freemasonry-israel.org.il/ If they aren't replying, there is nothing we can do.
How are you sir i tried my best to join but its difficult for me coz in my country there is no lodge my country is kenya can you find in website to inform me to join iam intreseted plz
Hi, one of my best friends is a mason, i asked him about how to become a mason. He told me how but he told me that basically i cant because im not self employed person. He said because I am an employee so im not a free person. And he explained to me some more reasons.
Im very interested in being one but cant be. Can you please explain more about this? Thank you.
I do not know where you live, but I can assure you that I have never heard of it being such where you can to be a business owner in order to join.
Hello
Dear , i live in France and I want to join the fraternity and become a free mason, i checked the website they need a cover letter, could you help me in identifying the key points that i should write about. thank you
I believe it would be best for you to write from the heart and not lean on anybody else. French Freemasonry is different than what we practice here. It is quite possible that any advice I give would turn out to be bad advice.
Thank you
What is the difference between 3 & 4 Letter Lodges?

Is there any Lodge in, anambra state of Nigeria.
I dont have a lodge in my country so what can i do??
You have to find one, period. Perhaps in a nearby country.
I watched the whole video and enjoyed it.
Do you have the link..
Thank you for watching. What are you looking for a link to?
@@WhatisaMason to join the freemanson
There is no link to join. You must speak with a Master Mason in your area, in person, face-to-face. You can attempt to start that process by finding the contact information for a lodge online, but not all lodges have that.
I learned a lot about freemasonry when I was asked to play in the Shrine band. The band needed members and opened to the public for practice and non shrine event concerts like playing at nursing home. I was asked to join after the director could not make some concerts, so me being the only other person with conducting experience had to step up. When talking to them I got excited about joining until I learned that you need to be religious to join the masons. I feel bad because I am not really religious. The band needs new blood, but I think is going to end when the director can no longer do his job.
I would argue that "religious" and "beveling in God" are not the same thing. You must believe in some form of higher power, a deity. Whether or not you go to church, study scripture, or any other "religious" activity is irrelevant.
I want to be Freemasons
just say that your christian or smth
I need help from you I have a lot masons contact me but for a certain school in Pennsylvania. But I don't know much about the schools. Maybe someone can help me find some answers. I enjoy loads of hermetic work an lots of older knowledge let me know any books or school or any classes
I have been in contact with "golden dawn" to but I still am looking for more information on a certain group that teach certain things
Hopefully another viewer can help, as I do not have any recommendations to make and I am not at all familiar with the classes in PA. Sorry :-(
Why do masons forbid to get married to a church. For example my classmate's parent are married in a mason lodge
That is not true in any way, shape, or form. Freemasons are married in church's every day. The only time I've heard of a couple being married in a lodge is when they either don't have a "home church", or they attend different churches.
@@WhatisaMason Oh maybe that's the reason. My classmate is just paranoid on why his parents is not married in a church.
So my grandfather was a high ranking free mason so what would the liklyhood be that I would be accepted into a freemason society, and get a high rank?
I hate to burst your bubble, but men are accepted every day who never had a family member who was associated with the fraternity. If your Grandfather was well known (you can be "high ranking" and not be well known) then perhaps you might find a few men who would say "Oh, you are HIS Grandson, he was a great man and he'd be so proud that you want to join" - but none of that really guarantees that they will vote you in or not, let alone if you'll ever earn a "high rank".
I keep putting high rank in quotes because, frankly, I have no clue what that is really supposed to mean. Was he a Master Mason? Past Master of his Lodge? A Knight Templar? A 33rd Degree in the Scottish Rite? Head of a local body in the York or Scottish Rite - head of the State Body, head of the International Body?
What is a Mason I just started learning about Free Masonry from my father, and the reason we learned was because my grandfather had journals from when he was a mason. I will have to get back to you with his rank and other info. I was just starting to get curious with it.
That is awesome - Not many people have journals like that to learn from - treasure that.
May the Grand Architect guide you, fellow Brother.
Thank you
I am unsure what you mean by joining me.

Am in kenya africa and i need to join freemason how can u help me??
I lived in quetta where is the lodge
How can i became a member of Freemason
I have a question?
What's the difference between freemanson and illuminati?
Freemasonry exists, the Illuminati no longer does.
A long time ago when starting up a fraternity was all the rage someone decided to start what became known as the Illuminati (it didn't start with that name). Then, in a rush to get more members, they decided to piggy back Freemasonry by recruiting Freemasons. However, the Illuminati was never a recognized masonic organization in any way, shape, or form. Soon, like within 10 years of forming, their leadership broke down and the whole thing fell apart. Since then the Illuminati have been dead and as a dead group it was easy for others to use their funny name and admittedly crazy ideas to spawn all sorts of conspiracy theories.
For all the details, read this book: amzn.to/2LtRUNE
The Illuminati organization used to be called the “perfectionblists.” They go by a different name now. Good question though.
Hi bro I want to join but I can't from my country " Yemen " do you know another way for me to join .. I'm excited of being a mason please help me
No, I don't. All jurisdictions I know of have a residency requirement. In other words, you can't just vacation to a place, become a Freemason, and bring it back to Yemen. Never mind that, as far as I am aware, Freemasonry would be illegal in Yemen. As to that issue - I have no idea how you go about legally reforming your government.
@@WhatisaMason
I know that it's illegal here but I wanna be one .. even in secret how could I??
Replace the government, change the law.

+Jakes Maccaw I want to join Freemason please help me
How can a person join
And then what happens next when I join the group?
You pay dues and learn more lessons and teach those lessons to others who want to learn. You perform charitable work. That's about as simple as I can make it.
Greetings brother , MM from the PH here, i want to know about woman freemason, are they recognize by grandlodges? Dont we have a stand on women becoming a mason in our obligation. Enlighthen me brother .
Women should not be part of any regular masonic Lodge. Therefore, any jurisdiction that makes women Freemasons as if they were men, is irregular and should not be viewed as Masonic. This is very different from a group such as the Order of the Eastern Star, whose teachings are perhaps under the same umbrella that Freemasonry uses, but are very very different. Said another way, the OES does not make women Freemasons, they make Eastern Stars...
Simple no. Any variations are wrong.

Your options are limited. Please see this video: czcams.com/video/eXwTvaE2ZvI/video.html
Can i join the freemasonry if i am muslim (i mean is it true that freemasonry is against islam)?
Freemasonry is not against Islam. Yes, a Muslim can be a Freemason. For one simple example, see the regular and recognized Grand Lodge of Turkey, a country that is 82% Muslim.
@@WhatisaMason i have another question (what is the difference between freemasonry and illuminati)?
The Illuminati were spawned by some men who, seeing the explosion of fraternal societies during that time, wanted to form their own. When membership became an issue, they used Freemasonry as a place to get new members, touting it as some sort of progression beyond Freemasonry. However, Freemasonry never acknowledged the Illuminati and, in just about 10 years, it died off and no longer exists.
If you want the full, true, history, I recommend this book: amzn.to/2TqSG0V

Could I join the freemasons in Mississippi being black? This is a serious question.
100% yes.
I am a female and I heard it is not open to us!?
A fraternity is, by definition, an organization composed of men alone. However, there are appendant organizations, such as the Order of the Eastern Star, which are available for women.

Thank you for the encouragement!
I stole when I had a troubling past that is 24+ yrs old. I'm 43 now will this be held against joining ?
It may depend on if it was a felony, and then it will depend on what state you are in. The best thing to do is simply ask a local lodge, or contact the Grand Secretary for the state/country you live in. They won't be offended by the question.
What exactly do I look up to find the secretary to the grand lodge.
I would suggest searching the Internet for "Grand Lodge of [Insert State or Country]". Then go to the website, find a contact page, and go from there. I hope that helps!

That seems like a tremendous amount of labor and cost just to make one join. Is this the actual procedure for the entire line? That can't possibly be real.
