Here in Honduras we have a saying if you have higher degree than master and dont participate in your simbolic lodge than youre not doing squat!, you could be a 33 but if you dont work in 1,2 and 3 then whats the use?

That is one of the things that make somepeople understand that no Freemasonary is not a "cult" but a group of men coming togetther at least once a month and bettering themselves, and also bettering their families, even though some may not know they are doing so.<br/>Allison That is a very good answer that Jay has stated, but at the same time no you can’t stop all the charitable work that the Freemasons do.

Freemasonry is not. Our first goal is to make a man better by giving him a set of values to guide his conduct as well as reminding him that there is a Supreme Being and that we have faith in the immortality of the soul. We also associate in Freemasonry with men of like values. Don't know that that happens in a service organization however noble is purposes may be.<br/><br/>Eldon The Lions and Rotary are service Clubs. Freemasonry is not.

Which leads me to another good question.

What are morals, or morality? Are morals personal, or universal? Can two men with different “moral” opinions both be moral? What morals does Freemasonry teach us?

We're not a service organization- our charitable work comes out of our ideals, but it's not our reason for being. We're a fraternity. We could drop all our charitable works tomorrow without compromising the core of our essence. It's all about bringing good men together in brotherhood, and teaching them good morals. silly question. neither organization resembles Freemasonry in the slightest.
