Ah k
But you don't officially need to be invited
You need to be sponsored or whatever but I've been told it's bad form to outright invite people unless you really think they should join
I'm probably confused as I have no insight about this culture.
Mafia
Italian mafia?
No lol
Freemasons
Sounds like a sect to me
It's on Wikipedia
I have a lot of religious houses here
Jahova's Witnesses
A surprisingly high amount of the peiple around me are members
I think they are brainwashed
Dunno what it's like elsewhere but round here it's mainly old dudes doing charity work and drinking
+middle aged dudes of course
Ahh, here that's what can be called youth organizations
Isn't that a fitting name?
There is a religious aspect to it
I'm not for or against anything, as I've met and will continue to meet many people who well
are religious
Officially I am a member of the protestant church, on paper, as I was forced in when I was a child.
But I never really showed up to their meetings
Heretic my man
Haha, you know how fun it is---
When you start making out your own personalizty etc
And then you realize, oh, I was baptized and a member of church before I had a will of my own
Might as well stay a member am I right?
but, when it comes to the main idea of religion.
It's impossible this day and age, with a decent amount of education, to picture myself believing in a religion whose whole existence seems to be fake
I'm not really into the whole organised religion thing
And the purpose of masonry isn't really to do that
If you look at history you'll see how much of a sham that shit is
It's just a requirement for membership that you believe in "a higher power"
money, greed, it's a wonder Luther had success
Yeah, sure, but once you join you would have to make up for the commitment
Also you have to swear not to tell secrets
Or you going to die
Yeah I was told that
