http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonic_Lodge

A Masonic Lodge, often termed a Private Lodge or Constituent Lodge in Books of Constitutions, is the basic organisation of Freemasonry. Every new Lodge must be warranted by a Grand Lodge, but is subject to its direction only in enforcing the published Constitution of the jurisdiction. A Master Freemason is generally entitled to visit any Lodge in any jurisdiction in amity with his own. He is first usually required to check, and certify, the regularity of the relationship of the Lodge - and be able to satisfy that Lodge of his regularity of membership. Freemasons gather together as a Lodge to work the three basic Degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason.

But do they really "control" things in the country and have secret codes, handshakes and passwords?

And why are people "afraid" to talk about them and what goes on in their meetings.

I sense even "brave" tuners are staying away from this one.

You mean like This!!!!!

"BOAZ"
GRIP OF AN ENTERED APPRENTICE
(HANDSHAKE)

Secret Masonic handshakes, passwords, grips and signs of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft Fellow Craft and Mason Degrees of Blue Lodge Freemasonry

The Grip of the Entered Apprentice is made by pressing the thumb against the top of the first knuckle-joint of the fellow Mason, the fellow Mason also presses his thumb against the first Mason's knuckle.

The name of this grip is "Boaz". When a candidate is imparted with this grip and its usage it is done in this manner."

You ever want to know why so many guilty people get off in Court?

Check this out!!!

GRAND HAILING SIGN OF DISTRESS

After receiving instruction in the proper communication of the substitute for the Master's Word, the candidate is then instructed in regards to the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress. It is given by raising both hands toward heaven, with each arm forming the angle of a square, or a 90 degree angle. The arms are then lowered in three distinct motions to the sides. In other words, ending with both arms in the natural downward position, such as when one is standing at

"Furthermore, I do promise and swear that I will not give the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress of a Master Mason, except for the benefit of the Craft while at work or for the instruction of a Brother, unless I am in real distress; and should I see the sign given, or hear the word spoken, I will hasten to the relief of the person so giving it."

The candidate is additionally instructed, however, that if he is in a place where the sign could not be seen, he is to utter a substitute for the sign: "O Lord, my God, is there no help for the Widow's Son?" He is additionally advised that the sign and these words are never to be given together.

the lodge is a brotherhood

they do whatever it takes within each other's means to facilitate another member if he is in any form of trouble.

as far as i know u dont have to be wealthy (but it helps). u just have to be a businessman or professional whereas other members may benefit from your trade/profession.

its not so much a secret society anymore, its just more like a family.

bluefete · Postby **bluefete** » June 21st, 2009, 3:15 pm

But are their rituals really scary?

Freelander · Postby **Freelander** » June 21st, 2009, 3:17 pm

Rahtid: Don't get taken in by Freelander. There is much more to this than meets the eye.

He makes it sound deceptively simple.

it is a true brotherhood, have people from all walks, rich and poor
people also get kicked out if they are deemed improper

there are obvious networking benefits
just like playing golf or drinking in the oval

Somehow I get the feeling that people are only "skating" around this thread.

What are we afraid of??????

Lodges like any club or group have codes of conduct . Bascially they try to look for professionals of varied interests . It leads to betterment of the group , so that its members can benefit from wat each member can bring to the table .

its like wat pugboy said . Its no different than from drinking in the oval ..
