How can you do that? Jrome told me I need to go to Hollywood and get sodomized. Not somehing I'd ever consider. Anything less invasive?

V2DHeart:
If you're over 21, and are a person of good will, and good nature you can apply to become a Mason.

First you'd have to find a lodge near to you, speak to the grand secretary, or someone who will be able to assist you, in getting an application. This will be filled out by you, backed by 2 masons, then reviewed by a panel.

A team, or a few will then interview you, investigate you, and you'd be expected to learn a lot beforehand and before these processes. It'd be ideal to read a lot of books, and about basic lodge-level freemasonry. Some basic knowledge of Masonic education is beneficial or probably crucial in fact. You'd then have to pay money, then it is voted upon, within their next 1/2 lodge meetings

Then if successful, they'll inform you of the ceremonies and the expectations involved. There are usually 3 before you become a full member

A lot of work, and time and effort. It's not as easy as you'd think

A belief in supreme being is one thing they tend to look for while interviewing you though. One good thing is though, that if you and 8 other guys are going for a job interview, and any of the employers are masons, you'd be guaranteed that you'd get the job over the other 8. Court situations is usually better for most members as well, as a lot high up in the justice system are in fact Masons. They all look out for one another, just like any other family, group or fraternity

So if you don't have money or some other sort of influence, you're fucked, right? It's understandable. Still, I don't have shit to offer to them. lol

Plus, I imagine if you apply but fail, they'll always have you registered one way or another..

V2DHeart:
Tips beforehand would be to set up (very cheap) payments to a number of charities and look into some government grant home study course thats on something like first aid,medical,safety. It would better your chances. If you have a trade it'll also help.

Ye but money is required, and a bit more than pocket change. Thats why its good to have a trade or good career to show them that you have a good source of income. Ive heard 1 person say before about this and from what i garthered it seemed like an annual payment thing although i could be wrong. Each lodge would work different i guess

Fraxxx:
I'll try to continue growing as a person and being a positive influence on the people around me.

And get back on my workout routine!
