However, if someone exhibits behaviour or demeanour that is unsuitable for Freemasonry, and is not approved for joining, that is a good thing in general. <br /><br />There is someone I know who is an upstanding person in many ways.

They see no signs. Surely if they don't "know" them, sponsors into a fraternity won't know them any better.<br /><br />It isn't like someone is going to apply to your Lodge and a member will stand up and say "I think he's going to be a serial killer or rapist some day."Still Justa Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18251151452545005294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-79439505008337020072010-11-28T06:45:08.614-05:002010-11-28T06:45:08.614-05:00In addition to the sentiments expressed in the pre...In addition to the sentiments expressed in the previous comment, it shows the importance of knowing men before initiating them into the Craft.
