I started this thread because I've seen comments from others in other threads where they have very skewed views of Freemasonry, and I've wanted to dispel myths and rumors.
I am a Freemason of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia, and the Secretary of LaFayette-DuPont #19 and Arminius #25 of that jurisdiction.
Non-Masons, feel free to ask anything you've been wondering about. I will answer any questions I'm not prohibited from answering.
My Brethren, please feel free to chime in if you feel you have something to contribute.

Thanks, Chief, glad to see this. I usually laugh when I hear some of the garbage I've heard about us.

Oh, it's highly entertaining. I had a family member ask me if I worshipped the devil now. I just laughed at her and walked away shaking my head.

I had a lady approach me in a walmart parking lot a few weeks ago, she saw my square and compasses emblem on my back window and asked me if i was illuminati or a freemason, I turned toward her and said "are you sure you want to know?", she quickly walked away. I saw her again in an isle and explained that I was joking and that I'm a mason and she asked further questions, ending up her shaking my hand and told me that she respects us masons. The look on her face was priceless and will always remain the funniest encounter.

No Problem, Chief...that's what happens when you have a twisted sense of humor and read Dan Brown books!

PO2 Richard C.
Someone asked Dan Brown why he hadn't joined a Lodge here in NH (he's from my home town and still lives near-by) when he came to speak at a Masonic meeting. He said he didn't want people who don't like Masonry trashing his books because he was a member, but it is not out of the realm of possibility in the future if he decides the by-line has run its course. He does take some literary license, but always treats the Fraternity fairly.
