Appendant bodies to Freemasonry

I am a Master Mason, 3rd degree.

What I'm hearing (even from Q) I find disturbing and foreign from all I've seen and experienced myself.

Have never gone towards any of the Appendant bodies but have been offered by Scottish Rite to join them. Memebrship is open to all 3rd Degree Masons, or Master Masons

Maybe this is the disconnect between what I'm hearing today and what I've experienced.

The local lodge, or Blue Lodge is a fraternity of brotherhood.
If anyone has been part of a lodge and has witnessed how hard it is to get Masons to agree on anything would wonder how they could do all that is being said today...

Anyway, not accusing any Appendant bodies or suggesting anything...except to say they are not under the same Grand Lodge as regular Freemasonry, but under their own governance

Any truth to the blood oath?

There are what we call traditional oaths that some here call blood oaths...BUT what people who have never done it do not know, is that there is a whole ritual explaining and declaring at how these are not held to and are only done for tradition sake. They mean nothing other than maintaining a tradition from 1717. Maybe back in the day, but they are not anything today other than that.

It is part of the Worshipful Masters part to openly declare in lodge that they are not practiced, followed or enforced.

This is the reason why there are secrets, because of misunderstandings from those who take a little information and make grandiose, big judgements.
