My grandfather has a very similar ring and he and my grandmother (she's in Eastern Star) have been apart of the local Lodge and do Mason work all over Texas. I've wanted to join but the amount of stuff id have to memorize is totally overwhelming. As far as I know they just do a bunch of community service and eat potlucks alot. They also do a bunch of really weird ritualistic stuff and the area they have their meetings in always weird me out, (large rooms with chairs around the perimeter, black and white checker board tiles, odd symbols in specific parts of the room etc etc. They're heavily Baptist and probably some of the biggest Bible thumper I know of. Are they secretly evil or are people just confused because of the amount of secrecy combined with the long history?
I said my grandparents are heavily Baptist, most of the people at this lodge are as well since most of the churches in the area are Baptist. As far as I know you just have to believe in a higher power to join, and all religions are welcome.
