 ZR> Trust me, if you're thinking about joining, then you do have what it
 ZR> takes. Anyone can join, so long as they are male, and have a belief in a
 ZR> supreme being.
 ZR> Yeah the conspiracy theories are laughable. Back before the US was free
 ZR> from Britain, lodges were safe places for men to plan the revolution.
 ZR> Nowadays, it's mostly older men arguing over the lodge electric bill, or
 ZR> planning the next BBQ chicken fundraiser.
One of my favorite conspiracies is that Freemasons worship Satan and the ones
about Freemasons being Luciferians. 
I LOVE BBQ chicken fund raiser
parties.  

 ZR> Not sure where you're located, but hopefully the lodges there do more
 ZR> education and esoteric study, rather than just make more masons and have
 ZR> chicken dinner fundraisers. That was ultimately why I left. I was on
 ZR> track to become the master of my local lodge, but the lack of any real
 ZR> substance and the amount of time it was costing me became frustrating. I
 ZR> just didn't believe in it anymore. Not all lodges are like that. The
 ZR> ones around here are just not what I was looking for. YMMV.

I am located in Northwest, Mississippi and walking distance (what I call
walking distance and what others would call walking distance could be two
different meanings) from Elvis's mansion. 
Hopefully the lodges in my area have more  esoteric studies.
