Yes. I believe that any opportunity to better myself as a person has got to be good, and with the added incentive of being able to help others if i can, maybe more of us should hold ourselves to these standards.
One hell of a ride.

There are other charitable organisations without the baggage of religion and money. Like all organisations the Mason's have their good and bad. Here's a comment from an ex member... ": “I was a member of a Masonic Lodge. And though it is known as a fraternal society that provides help for its members, I observed rituals that involved the use of skulls and bones and the invoking of spirits. These spirits supposedly help those who interact with them to develop spiritually."
It is put forward as a religiously neutral forum but there is a lot made of religion of all persuasions in the organisation. My issue is with inter-faith movements in general and the failure of religions to be a uniting force for good and peace in the world.
If you're going to use the Bible for support, at least read it and do what it says, something neither the churches of Christendom nor the Mason's themselves bother with.
My sister is a senior administrator in the Red Cross and that would be a better option with training and the ability to learn first aid and be involved in helping the community directly. You could consider St. John's the Fire Service, Civil Defence, as well run and well respected organisations that put so very much back into their communities. I've worked with and known a few Mason's and they seemed to be apart from the common people of society, all mysterious and didn't seem to do much at all. Perhaps some do behind the scenes, I don't know.
Maybe if you sat down and thought about where you want to head with your life, the aspects of yourself you'd like to improve or develop or the less attractive things you'd like to change about yourself you may be able to think of ways and organisations that could help facilitate that.
My 2c worth anyway...

I wasn't there, so can only say what he said he saw. Like many organisations, the Masons are made up of individuals from many walks of life and many different religions, and they say that whatever religion you belong to and whatever you believe is fine, so expect there will be a variety of rituals and practices among the members depending on just what they believe.
If you can accept that and it's fine by you, you can make your own decisions.

Sorry, someone had to post it
But seriously, I wasn't aware that there was a community of Freemasons in NZ. Is there tithing or other such monetary payments to the organisation?

actually the fact that regardless of your religion you are still welcome is one of the things that appeals to me.
hindu, muslim, or christian to me you are a person that if earned deserves my respect regardless
