Good advice but if the oaths/obligations are anything like
they have been described in this thread I just
can't imagine what types of individuals would want
to be part of such a group and I would be very reluctant to
believe anything they say:
If members take the oaths/obligations in jest they mock oaths/obligations.
If members take the oaths/obligations seriously they appear to be demonic.

My jaw dropped when I read this.
Your snap judgement about something you know nothing about floors me. I suspect that if it was good enough for a large number of our Founding Fathers it didn't appear demonic to them.
I'm not a Mason but my Dad was and he never mentioned anything about it to me. I never knew of him attending a lodge meeting even once, but my mother put the Masonic symbol on his headstone. I have some small keepsakes from my maternal Grandfather and there is a small masonic trowel in the box, yet nothing about his being in the masonic lodge was ever mentioned to me. My Father-in-law was a Mason and a Shriner yet he never spoke to me about it or suggested recruiting me.
Shriners Hospitals accept any child not just children of Masons, and they do it all free for the patient and family. It's obviously not an evil cabal. So you are way off base and showing your own personal bias.
