Not much they will tell you if they stick to their sworn duty - my uncle is/was one and I have yet to get diddly out of him in 30+ years. I eventually gave up asking. They are a closed society - you have to be let in as far as I know.

Good luck.

I'm asking because my sister in laws father died and was a 32nd degree mason. Interesting funeral at the scottish rite center. I want to learn more about it.

There MIGHT be some on here.

A man telling you that he is a mason is ok. Any information beyond that is no-no.

I will say it again, "Some things are best left unsaid."

EDIT - you could watch "National Treasure".

Your internet searching will not yealed accurate information. Some is accurate, but incompplete. Some is not accurate at all. The only way to know is to become one. - John

In my book, the things best left unsaid are the folks hiding something...

This thread kinda piqued my interest and I looked up some info about the Masons. My father was a Mason, (to what degree I have never known), and even after his death, I was unable to find anything in his possesions that would indicate what they were really all about, so I guess there ARE some secrets they never reveal.

When Mexstan said, "Do a search in Google and you may be surprised what you find out.", he was correct. I was certainly surprised! What I was most surprised about, was that my own father would be involved with such a group if what I read is indeed true.

I should have taken the advice of JKE when he wrote, "Some things are best left unsaid."
