When I first became a Freemason, I had heard of guys trying to pass themselves off as being a mason. For the longest time I thought it was just rumors, especially in today's time, but I'm noticing more and more men are identifying themselves as masons. I've met some that give certain phrases, and try to imitate the grips. It's sad and unfortunate that a man would rather play freemasonry, than join and become a true brother. I encourage all brothers to remember their obligation and be very careful of your choice of words when in the presence of non masons. Ex : Found out a guy I work with was supposedly an entered apprientce for (6 years). I later learned that He was bragging about being a mason. Multiple guys at the branch said that he was going around shaking guys hands and saying this is the masons grip. When he found out I was one he tried doing the same thing to me. I asked him one question that any worthy brothers would know no matter the degree and he couldn't answer it. This is a prime example of why masons should not reveal anything just off of hear say.
