For a sense of Brotherhood, Sense of Power, Sense of belonging, Sense of Meaning, Sense of Duty, social networking etc. The list goes on and is probably different for each member. Not everyone is or was fortunate enough to grow up in the best circumstances. And so they turn to organizations like the Masons seeking something that in their life up to that point may have been denied to them
The same thing though could be said of many Churches and Christian denominations. What benefit is there to being a member? Of going through sometimes odd initiation rights (At least depending on the denomination). Do you get anything tangible for it? Nothing in the Bible requires you to attend a service every Sunday to be saved.
So why do people do such things? Again. They are seeking something. Purpose, Meaning, Community etc. The list goes on.
Freaky. Why do people do this? Of what benefit is it to be a part of this weird cult?

I got to church for truth and to spread truth. Same reason I go here.
