So, I'm a only-in-a-Baptist-family member, of about a year and a half, I'm about 21, married, and just called to be my branch's Executive Secretary. I've got a daughter on the way and am in college, etc.

My wife's grandfather wishes me to join the local Masonic Lodge. I know that a decent amount of LDS men go to Lodge, as do a lot of other Christians. But I also hear that it's anti-Christian in some ways.

What do you all think? Is it a good idea? I know that it's a good social step, especially around here, as far as jobs and 'strings' go. But is it doctrinally ok, and does it take huge amounts of time?

Thanks
