Wow! Quite a collection you've got there, I'm impressed.

Same here. But if someone noticed my ring and wanted to know about Masonry I would be glad to talk to him.

I totally agree. I wear my ring at all times because I'm proud of being a Mason.

As all of us here know all of the conspiracy theories concerning Masonry are simply nuts. However, we will never convince those that are predisposed to to believe such things that they are untrue. Trying to convince them is a waste of time.

Congratulations brother.

Agreed. There is a lodge that I visit almost every week that I am going to petition to join as I really like it there and want to be a voting member.

I do not disagree with anything that you have said brother. My lodge also looks after the widows of its members. I have respect for everyone, women most definately included. I am simply saying that regular Masonry is a fraternal organization and, in my opinion, should stay that way.

I think that this is a great idea!

I feel the same about co-Masonry. Women are every bit the equals of men, absolutely! But Masonry was founded as a FRATERNITY. Fraternities are no more sexist than are sororities. One of the things that appealed to me about Masonry was that it is a fraternity and if it was ever decided to admit...

Exactly.

Agreed!

Absolutely agree!

Good point. Even though we are all equal in the lodge addressing an officer as "sir" is just respectful and, in my opinion, just common sense.

I was raised this past August, will probably start through the line in the next couple of months and am looking forward to it.

Welcome brother.

Agreed!

I can see why some people would be taken in because the photos look impressive. Looks can definately be deceiving.

My bad, didn't read the first page before posting. Therefore, didn't realize that this fellow is from a clandestine lodge.

Excellent points. One of the things that I like best about this forum is all of the interacting between brothers with these different points of view.

Thanks for all of your in depth explanations. I am a relative new MM having been raised this past August and I appreciate all new information. I have a lot to learn.
