I have a lot more fun telling people that I am/was a Freemason. Secret Societies are cooler than cults, I suppose.
I bet that is more fun. Over the last several months, I've watched several programs on the History Channel and National Geographic Channel on various aspects of Freemasonry. So, it's sorta been demystified for me. Definitely NOT as big a deal as Wierwille/twi and other churches/religions have made freemasonry out to be.
BTW, my real last name is a trade name (in a European (romance) language) that translates to Mason in English... hence, I had just a smidgeon more interest than I otherwise might have had.
But, I'd still be interested in reading about your experience(s) with Freemasonry and how that compared/contrasted with twi.
Also, one time at a minor league baseball game here in Phoenix (before the Diamondbacks were born), an old guy with a walking stick that had the compass and square on a piece attached at the top of the stick, once asked me "Have you ever traveled East?"
I figured right away that he was asking me if I was a mason... of course, I told him no... but even that was intriguing enough that I never forgot it.
Girl I have no problem telling people I was involved in derway. I explain how it started, how I got involved and how I left. I helped the process of exposing them, I have nothing to be ashamed of.
