Metatron, there are so many conspiracy theories about freemasonry that I no longer bother.
Yes you have a strange joining ceremony after your proposal.
But you do it to be involved in your community.
I don't play golf, so miss out on golf days.
I do go to the dinner's and wine tasting evenings, which we all pay for, and fund raise.
Much to contrary belief, you never talk business to another free mason in the lodge.
The rumours about free masons giving back handers to people is completely untrue.
If that happened they would be kicked out and black balled.
Yes free masons do business with other free masons, but that's because they are honest and don't screw people over.
Reputation is everything.
Wouldn't you do business with your friends or friends you met through business, if they can deliver, and knowing them means if anything goes wrong, you just give them a bell, and fix it.
Plenty of conspiracy about that part of freemasonry, but again utter rubbish.
