[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Masons do not recruit. [b] But some members do ask friends to join.[/b] Once your DH has petitioned them for membership  they will send a group to your home to interview you and your family before they will accept your DH.  I see no harm in it, they do a lot of good for their community.  No different then the Elks, Moose or Eagles.  Or Knights of Columbus for that matter.  But you should be supportive of him if he chooses to join.  The Masons  have the "Order of the Eastern Star" for women if you are interested.[/quote]

OP here

He was ASKED to join. What's the difference?  He's being recruited by colleagues/friends.

If he decides to go through the process, then I imagine I'll be an instrumental part of the family interview, which won't be pretty.  Thanks for the info.[/quote]

"recruited" would imply that the Mason organization puts an effort out to get people to join.  Meaning they would go to places of business, etc. hand out information and give commissions or benefits to Masons that "recruited" members.  Just asking a buddy to join an organization you belong to is not "recruiting".  By the way, you sound like a control freak, and I know it is important for you to be involved in all aspects of your DH's life.  I guess you have been married 8 years or less, and your DH just goes along with everything you say.  And you probably chew him out for not making enough money.  You said this would help his career, and yet you still don't want him to join.  Pretty soon your DH is going to get tired of your B.S.  It is not healthy for you to wield such control over a grown man.  You should find something to occupy the 2-3 hours a month the poor man might spend involved with the Masons.  [/quote]
