I was looking into joining them as well. When I was explained all the different things I would need to divulge before acceptance I was a bit skeptical. Background check, giving numbers of close friends, family and interview. All not guaranteeing I would be accepted as one little black ball can just stop your advancement. That was enough for me to do a double take... why put me and my family/friends through that? Who goes through all that trouble to help others? If it's a brotherhood for all then why all the jumping through hoops before getting your foot on the door?
I have found it personally more telling how someone acts/talks/reacts to actions around you that is best telling of their character, not what some paperwork says about them.
In any rate, being that the option for joining them was further minimized by having to know two other Masons I decided to continue the search for truth on my own... and eventually led me to this great information.
Who knows, this may lead me to something else but for now I am still digesting what I have learned and still trying to digest some of the more intricate workings.
Maybe finding this place was also a hint for you RoarSSk that if you look long enough you will find your own answers.
