Someone mentioned earlier that you had to be asked to be freemason. Around here, apparently, they ask you, because I know several individuals who have been asked to be freemasons. One man that we know was being considered for a deacon in his church (Baptist). He was then told that if wanted to actually become a deacon, he would also have to join the freemasons.

I am constantly shocked at how prevelent freemasonry is in South Carolina. No one talks about it, but even in the smallest towns where there is nothing but a post office and store, there is also a masonic lodge. I am also surprised at how many pastors and church leaders are wearing masonic rings or have the masonic symbol on their cars.
