Freedom from Freemasonry - Paul Knights' Story

What happens when you become a Freemason? When you become a Freemason, you begin your journey toward being a better man. You will build rich, meaningful relationships with your Brothers, commit to the service of those around you, and strive for a deeper, more honest connection with yourself and others. It's a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. What is the benefit of being a Mason? That means you will be able to forge connections with people across the world who are like you. 2) Freemasonry Provides Access to Intellectual Discussions and Talks: Lodges of Freemasons provide regular opportunities to attend lectures on a broad range of topics associated with leading exemplary lives. 

Can you tell people you're a Mason?

There is no way to really tell as Masons are everyday men trying to be better. There is no requirement not to tell someone that you are a Mason but some do not want others to know because it is a personal private thing for them. Also, some people may lie about being a Member when they are not.
