Famous entered apprentices

"Mason" generally refers to a Master Mason, or one who has received all three of the initiatory degrees of Freemasonry. Those who have received only the Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft degrees are initiated members, but without all the rights and privileges accorded to Master Masons.

    * General Nathan Bedford Forrest was initiated into the first degree of Freemasonry, but he never completed his second and third degrees and never returned to Lodge.
    * President Lyndon B. Johnson was initiated into the first degree of Freemasonry, but his congressional duties made it impossible for him to pursue the second and third degrees.

Dear dogudan,

I dont think i understood your first question completely. Would you please explain it? or ask it in Turkish under a proper title?

For you second question, you may want to know that Masonry does not have anything to do with politics. Each person may have their own, different political opinions. So for your answer; No. It should not effect a persons political career directly. However, Masonry is making good men better. So by the meaning of this motto (philosophy), it would effect a persons life and career in a good way.

Respectfully

Yes they all claimed their masonry, they all belong to a  Masonic lodge which is chartered by a Grand Lodge

In my humble opinion, having men who are in such influential positions under the united umbrella of Masonry rather increases their credibility as individuals.

Meaning that at the least these men are not where they are simply due to reasons of political or individual nature, but also for the responsibility that they have taken on to pursue both personal as well as spiritual development.

Regards
