To start a topic, find a subforum that is the correct discussion topic and then use the button for "new topic". To your question, as in they opened the door where people could come in and look around? I've seen this done many times, heck our officer installation is held inside our lodge room and...

I've seen both here as well. Since as you said the explanation does not distinguish the angle of the squares, I believe both work for the meaning. In the top image, it appears that they used both interpretations of "tessellated" AND "tassellated", hah. In the bottom image, purely from an...

Right, what I'm trying to say is that both of what we are saying is referencing the triangled tiled border. Perhaps an early misnomer, who knows. What I should've said was "roughly equivalent to *our* tessellated", but we are talking about the same thing.

The serrated you talk about is roughly equivalent to the tessellated. Although many speculate that this is a word perversion over many years of a different word, tasselated, that is having tassels or rope border rather than a tiled border.

I hate to be the unpopular voice, but I honestly think that if someone expresses an interest in being in the line, learning the ritual (opening and closing at least, not necessarily degrees) for that office comes with the territory. You cannot have someone speak for you and, grading being what...

I'd voted on this a long time back and saw it pop up again with the latest replies which has made me ponder over it again. I'd originally said C) Good and Evil. However I've come to amend (or expand rather) my original thoughts thusly: In order to understand the Checkered Pavement, you cannot...

I'm down for anything that helps smooth out ritual overall rather than peaks and valleys of proficiency.

I got the first book free for kindle last night and read up through the first chapter. Not bad so far.

Ah. I didn't watch the video. I just remember a written article a while back about it. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Midlothian-Residents-Protest-Religious-Plaque-Removal-273062581.html This one made it sound like two plaques with crosses at two locations. It seems a bit light on specifics...

My understanding when I first saw this story was that it was just the church plaque, not the masonic one.

The degrees in both Order of the Silver Trowel and High Priesthood were excellent. Thanks Companion Paul for chatting and being a part of it! Very enjoyable.

Always drop over a fail if you suspect you cannot commit the time to a class. An F will haunt you all your days to be sure.

I have a new found love for trap shooting. I did it as a kid and not again until recently. I remember why I dig it so much. I'm thinking of joining a league next spring.

Welcome!

i think it is going on right now through monday and/or tuesday.

Awesome. I'll be taking both chair degrees while I am there. Looking forward to it!

If you demit from a lodge, you don't continue pay dues. It depends if he is actually moving his membership or simply affiliating via a plural membership. If he is maintaining is previous membership, then yes he must continue to pay dues (unless he has taken out and endowed/lifetime membership...

Is anyone going to be there on Monday? I can't be there for the entire time, but I'll be there Monday and also for the Order of the High Priesthood and Order of the Silver Trowel. Would enjoy a meet and greet with any others there.

I think perhaps in this day where corporations swoop in and have entire sports arenas named after them, we get a bit cynical about occurrences like this. I hope it was just a gesture of thanks in the renaming rather than part of the agreement itself. Either way, it makes me proud.

Maybe it's like a knife and fork degree?
