I'm not askin because I think it's and evil organisation, I'm askin because I'm interested in joining. But to be honest I dont know any current members, and dont even know if one is asked, or asks to join.

Well,
I have been asked - but i didnt even know what it was so i kinda shyed away - but he could have been having me on - seemed serious about it though.

I was talking about it to them, not realizing that he "might" be one and he asked me if i was interested...

So i dont know if you need to be lucky and find the right person perhaps who knows you - or if he was just pulling my leg - but hey - there you go - bring it up around people you know.

I guess..

I was asked a couple of times by one of my old friends at the radio club, he is with the post office, and it's was/is one of those organisations like the cable TV industry where you dont get very far unless your'e on the square.

I was once in a car for a couple of hours with 4 others, 3 of them were masons. All they did was talk about things that we were supposed to know nothing about, when we got out I mentioned it to the other guy and he didn't have a clue what they were on about.

one of them was a Grandmaster, and they were discussing the applicants for the Tylers job.

The reason I was asking is because I have been reading a lot of books lately which reference the connection between The Knights Templar and the Mason's. To be honest I have found this rather interesting.

What does "on the square" mean in reference to your post

When my dad was in the RUC many years ago he was iniatiated into the Mason's. Unfortunately he still wont talk about his time as a Mason.

Mason's are instructed to live their lives Upright, Square and On The Level.

On the floor of the Masonic lodge they have a chequerboard square with a piece of rough stone on one side and a polished piece on the other, supposedly representing man's travel through life.

It's a (not very secret) question that's used by one Mason to another, ie "is he on the square?" means is that person a Mason?
