At some point I think I'm going to write a story/article about "The Old Guy".
At some point we're gonna be the "old guys"! :wink:
While you may be correct about the certificate holders being able to pass Committee on Work’s official "proficiency test for an A Certificationâ€â€”I believe 90+ percent or more of Mason’s know the intent and live by the tenants. Most Americans cannot quote the “The Declaration of Independency or the Bill of Rightsâ€, but they know what’s in them.
Man I am sure glad I am under the 68 year old group... ! but just by a hair... !
Proficienty exams are very good to get things straight .. ! and words that have worked in wrong.. ! I always learn something at every exam for the last 25 years... !
If the committee on "hope and change" will quit adding to the work and moving it around... ? hehehe ( that was for Bill.. ! )
Off topic. But one thing that makes me feel good about going to Lodge is when one of the older guys tell me that they are glad to see us young guys working so hard. And I'm 50. Where else could I get an ego boost like that?
I know a lot of brothers here think the ritual is very important.I was just wondering what percentage of the members of your lodge could pass one of the exams(EA,FC,or MM)?
100%
75%
50%
25% or less
:thumbup:25%. The other 75% are too busy talking about how important the ritual is. Kind of like combat: those who talk about it and those who've been.
