Here in the states, if you open your phone book, they are listed under &quot;Fraternal organizations&quot; like the Elks, Rotary, and Moose are. Meetings are down right boring to be quite honest. And all the ceremonies are published on the internet. So there are no real secrets anymore. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Nope. I&#039;m a newbie. And yes, plural membership is something that is allowed. But like an annual ANA membership and the PCGS membership, you have to pay for both of them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">To be one, ask one. Well, at least over here in the states, that is the case. The strictest of prerequisites is that a man must believe in a supreme being. That is non negotiable.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Now you are getting the Klan and the Masons confused. I know you are doing it on purpose because for whatever reason are &quot;<i><font face="Verdana">not a fan at all of the Masons</font></i>&quot; as indicated in your first post. Racism and the values of Relief, Truth, and Brotherly Love are not compatible. If your friend was in both organizations, that is truly a shame. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">The lodge in the town next to mine out here in California, last year, had a gentleman from Mexico, who was 91, serving as their “Worshipful Master.” He was the head man of that lodge. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Aidan has some legit questions and a genuine curiosity about the fraternity. Don’t confuse the organizations. If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
