What is Freemasonry?

Many people have heard the words “Free Masons” or “Freemasonry” through Main Stream Media, Websites, and Social Media but what exactly do those words mean?

                Simply put, the Free Masons are a fraternal organization that encourages it’s members to be the best that they can be.  They achieve this by providing a structure of morality that helps each man understand and apply them in everyday light.  They also teach tolerance of all religions, provides a network of friends that span the globe, and encourages each man, whether they are at the highest point in their lives or at the lowest.

                The Freemasons have phrases such as “2 Be 1, Ask 1” which means to become a mason, you ask one, and “Freemasonry is a peculiar system of morality, veiled in allegory, illustrated by symbols”.

                The Freemasons are not a religion or secret society.  They do not control world events, or have a hoard of treasure stashed somewhere.  They also don’t require their candidates to take blood oaths.  They are a worldwide group looking to better themselves and the world.
