Hello from Memphis

[memphismason]

Hello everyone. I just came across this site today, and I like what I see so far. I have a love for guns, and have been shooting since I was a young boy. I am a freq. user on glocktalk.com and mastermason.com, and I look forward to jumping in the disscussions here.

Any local gun clubs around town? I have a group of friends that I meet up with on Thursday nights at Range USA, so our wives and girlfriends can shoot for free, but we are not organized. I would be interested in any info on shooting/gun clubs.

Anyways, I look foward to having conversations with you guys.

So what does it take to be a Mason?

Thanks for all your welcomes.

To answer your question Saintsfanbrian:

1. Being a man, freeborn, of good repute and well-recommended;

   
   

2. A belief in a Supreme Being;

   
   

3. Ability to support one's self and family;

   
   

4. Of lawful age; and

   
   

5. Come to Freemasonry of their "own free will and accord".

   
   

That it is, if a person meets the above requirements, then they should ask for a petition to join, and then the process starts.

That lets half of the members here out...

Welcome MemphisMason

good to have another brother here from Memphis.

Saints,

Everything MemphisMason said is right. Number 5 means you have to ask a member to join. They will not ask you. Next time you see a friend wearing the ring with the "funny" symbols on it, ask them the same question you posted here.

[saintsfanbrian]

Clownsdd, I don't get out much so I don't have many friends that wear the ring. The last one I know that did past away and he just told me you had to know one to be one and left it at that. I guess I wasn't their type of people at that time in my life.

We have to be sure the person wants to join, "to be one ask one". That is all it takes. I don't know the situation, but if you asked "What do I need to do, to becaome a Freemason?", then his answer should have been, "You just did it". He would have then given you a petition to join, and then the process would have started.
