Your right fractal3rd, I to would be happy to be in a lodge that respects and values my opinions in the future. I founding my self leaning to a more tradition side but like the idea of female masonry. I guess I just don't like that its described as liberal. I don't think freemasonry in general should be described as liberal or conservative.

Lynn: My advice is if you wish to become a Freemason - forget all about your opinions, and things you have learned - just approach Freemasonry with a Blank mind and accept it may have something to offer you - Freemasonry teaches but doesn't learn = The Hidden wisdom Freemasonry teaches is timeless

Ja as Whistler says, sometimes you gotta take a leap - I don't always believe all they teach at lodge but they know my beliefs and I kinda know most of theirs. And its not dogma they don't claim that its better than your theories. If you wanna be cautious tho - understand what Annie Bessant added to the rituals (literally) and understand what is in mainstream male craft rituals and have good healthy discussions about why Annie added certain things. I do and I get some excellant discussion around it. If anything being a Mason has allowed me listen to other philosophy and choose what makes sense to me and not.
