Freemason's

[silky4960]

I have a lady friend who has informd me she is going to be initiated into the womans free masons, she hasnt googled what this entails but I have and are concerned as the initiation consistes of wearing a black skirt below the knee a white blouse and stockings, the candidate is then blindfolded and a noose put around their neck they then have to remove a stcoking to reveal a knee reveal a bare arm and this is what I find disturbing reveal a bare left breast, she is a vunerable lady, should I tell her what will happen?

Exactly, WalkingDead! It shouldn't actually be impressive that they do all that stuff, it should be a given. Still, I'll take it. They certainly aren't doing any harm.

Did you not all watch the documentary series on sky last year about them. It was fascinating and it made me want to join something that had such support and love for their members. Yes they have a few weird things- the aprons and the little briefcases are a bit odd but at the heart of it was a group of people supporting other people.

Thanks @Sweetbabycheezits

What are they actually for though? Like, what’s the point of it?

She is presumably a grown woman with her own free choice and all her faculties. Let her enjoy herself, and all the secret handshakes and favours afforded her by the masons.

Are you concerned because you don't want a partner in FM? That's what "lady friend" means, doesn't it.

katkit she is a grown woman with free choice as we all have but some people are more open to coercion than others, I'm not saying that's what is happening I am just concerned for her.

WalkingDeadTrainee She is not my partner, she is a lady who is a friend

what do you think might happen to her? What are you actually worried about?

Just watch out for the goat.....

Why the fuck would anyone here want to ring them?

Just leave the poor woman alone and let her get on with her chosen circle of friends and their ceremony.

You're coming across as a bit weird and controlling now.

Obviously they won't talk to a random on a phone.

Look. You might really have to explain what your problem is because so far it's not really clear and you just look like a busybody who freaked when hearing "freemasons"

Didn't @canterburytales (who seems to know exactly what the ceremony involves) say upthread that no bare breasts would be exposed, rather a symbolic strap etc?

I've also reported your last post. The fact that you post someone's number on site like this while trying to rile people against something they do is not ok

There is nothing wrong with being an Eastern Star Member

OP - AIBU?
MN - Yes
OP - No I'm not
MN - Yes you are
OP - But, but, but BOOBS!!!

Is an Eastern Star member the same thing?!

Ah, thanks @FrancisCrawford
