    What is 'clandestine'?

    When it comes to alcohol the Grand Lodges need to start treating it's members like man, no where ever did it stat in the old charges that a man can not have alcohol.

    Cowan & Eavesdropper ALERT!!!!!

    I also believe that would be the proper protocol here too. I guess that sometimes people forget to guard the west gate as well as it should be.

    Entered Apprentice Guide Questions & Essay

    Ah young Padawn, smart you are. I sure if you ask ten different people you would have ten different answers. As someone new to the Fraternity myself let me see if I can answer this, the secrets are the signs, grips, and the words. The working tools and the symbolisms are important for what...

    Critical Failure

    But in case like how your lodge was in, would it not be better to merge with another that is in close proximity. The lodge I have joined is healthy right now but the brother have told me as few as 5 years ago they where close to selling the lodge. With a good amount of investment they where able...

    As someone who was down at ground zero I can't stand the 'truther' BS, go to youtub and watch truthers debunk, I also find it funny when a Doctor lies about a study he did on vaccines gets caught and than has his lic. taken from him and than people still believe him. So yes if you fit into that...

    Albert Pike: More harm than good?

    No matter how much we dislike the past we can not change it, only right now and the future can we correct the wrongs of yesterday.

    Knights Templar

    I have a question, you say you want to become a Knights Templar, does that mean you would take all their vows too, poverty, chastity and obedience.

    Knights Templar

    Many Catholics are Mason, and many believe that it is God who decides on our souls not some man here on earth. One thing about Freemasonry it is a path of enlightenment to your maker.

    Why you shouldn't become a Freemason.

    I could not agree more with what you said. A book I just read made this statement I'm going to paraphrase it,'new members today are coming into the fraternity more read and informed than Brothers in the past, and with more exceptions of what they want out of Freemasonry. In many cases these new...

    Explaining the "higher" degrees.

    I dont think peace and harmony have been broke, but this is a debate with no right or wrong. People here are applying one of our teachings in the use of rhetoric in a friendly and brotherly way. Again I will say with out the Blue lodge their is no need for any of the appendant bodies. Let just...

    Explaining the "higher" degrees.

    So let me ask this than if you get ride of all the other rites, but keep the Blue Lodge, would you still not have Freemasonry? Now let switch this, you keep all the other rites, but you do away with the Blue Lodge you would have nothing.

    What would you recommend as a first reference book

    Re: What would you recommend as a first reference What they did was drop it down to a EA lodge after the opening, than they had you leave to close on the third degree. As a EA in some Grand Lodges they will let you set in on meetings but you can not vote. But to answer your question I read...
