Any Freemasons on this forum..?

No! One year and four months later I am just now seeing this. With all my moves over some forty years I have always kept my membership back in Augusta.

Good for you. Keep it up and stay active. There is so much to do and learn in a lodge and it is never too late to get into the line. If all goes as planned I will receive my 50 year pin in March 2026.

And the first part of the question?
And how does it do this?

It is kind of a lifelong education...on politeness, chivalry and respect for your fellow man. It is also, as I see it, an intelligent way to close up to religious questions..

This will be thought via the degrees and discussions among the brethren..different freemason societies have different degrees but it is really always about the things I mention.

Mostly it's about guys getting together and enjoying each other's company in a polite and organized manner. The memory work involved in the ceremony is a fun challenge. And it's a way for us to keep in touch and look after each other. Some guys join to try to further their career or advance their business by meeting new clients or prospective employers. Those "brothers" are usually self evident and usually get short shrift, from me anyway. We've all seen them. Don't join if that's your objective.
