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.
