I'm all for plural membership. I was raised last month and plan on joining another lodge shortly.

If you're a jerk then so am I. I am not in favor of this. I joined Masonry for a variety of reasons, one being that it is a fraternity. If women were to be admitted to the lodge then I would demit.

Very well said sir.

I believe that you should have to earn the right to "wear the bling" by doing everything required to be, and then raised to, a Master Mason.

Here in Kentucky we are taught to wear it outside of the coat.

York Rite for me. I'm a new MM and am in the process of joining the YR.

Very good point!

That's the way it is in my lodge.

I agree. We have the one ball system in Kentucky and it has, and still does, work just fine.

Lol, that's how it seems.

That was a good article. I went to one of the sites mentioned in the article and saw guys with crosses and banners picketing Masonic lodges saying that we were satanists. Supposedly some of these people were in my state. If I was to see these people in front of my lodge instead of getting angry...

Good info to be aware of. Thank you.

I'm a new MM and in the process of joining the York Rite and I did not know that the YR was created in the U.S. Thanks for the heads up.

One point that you made that jumped out at me was "I remember that a big part of fundamentalism is that Christians aren't supposed to fellowship with unbelievers". To me this jives with my take on this. Almost all of the articles that I have read where Christians rebuke Masonry has to do with...

That's great, I know that you are as excited as I was. Congratulations. Please keep us updated.
