Earlier BA@MRCNEXT.CSO.UIUC.EDU  said this to RON BOUTWELL about What
do you value about b:


B>I have been tempted to approach a local lodge for membership, but I am
B>still not certain.  I would like to hear from Master Masons who have
B>remained active in their lodges explaining why they are glad they are
B>I have had two friends become Master Masons, but neither have
B>continued active.  I don't want to go through the degrees then abandon
B>the fraternity. How can I make the best decision on this matter?

Bran,

Are you sure you mean they became inactive ordid they simply stop attending
meetings at the lodge?  Since Masonry is a science, and a discipline, it is
 practiced by
individuals as they move about in society.  I have family members who are loyal
masons to the core, but due to work or whatever, have not attended a lodge
 meeting in
years, maybe  not even a lodge function either.    They pay their dues, and they
practice masonry.  To an outsider this would likely look as though they are not
 active
due to their infrequent attention to lodge activities.
