Default Masons

All,

I know I may get some flack for this, but I am willing to take the risk. I am NOT asking for posted replies. I repeat, I am not looking for posted replies to this question. It is my desire to ensure the anonymity of those that might respond to my query and not invoke public display of affiliation.

The question is being posted here because we have at least one thing in common - a love for Porsches. So, anyone that likes Porsches is someone I would like to be affiliated with. Thus, my question. I am interested in learning more about Freemasonry. I know the rule is that Mason's do not ask people to join - the interested party must ask. So, this is my asking.

If you are a Dorki and a Mason - please Private Message me. I would like to learn more.

Thank you.

There's plenty of people that like Porsches I wouldn't want to have anything to do with.

Interesting question, good luc with your quest....Washington Post magazin (from the Sunday paper) had an interesting article a couple of years back about how they are dying off in the young ranks...too much competition with other things for people's free time.

absolutely positively too true!

interesting post. they intrigue me too but i never know whether there is any more depth to it than presented. as any organization, there must be, but i just don't know. looked stuff up a while back and their credo seemed like any other good and virtuous goals that most mankind should follow. made sense but didn't reveal much else.

I think you need to be a member before they show you the giant vault in the basement full of porn
