Junto Club

Sudo - Masonic club created by Benjamin Franklin. It later evolved into the American Philosophical Society. They would gather around every Friday night asking a group of questions to each other.

The membership questions were very masonic in nature:
1. Have you any particular disrespect to any present members? Answer. I have not.
2. Do you sincerely declare that you love mankind in general, of what profession or religion soever? Answer. I do.
3. Do you think any person ought to be harmed in his body, name, or goods, for mere speculative opinions, or his external way of worship? Answer. No.
4. Do you love truth for truth’s sake, and will you endeavor impartially to find and receive it yourself, and communicate it to others? Answer. Yes.
