Interesting, these guys are the modern day John Jones of bogus masonry. The other guy is Weston Jarvis. Did they create this new grand lodge?

It is a Texas issue so he was most likely talking about visitation as well. Texas is one of the few if not only state(s) that recognize PHA but does not allow visitation. But I could be wrong.

I just started working on mine. It is mouth to ear under GLoT. Takes a bit longer to learn but everyone else before me did it the same way.

You will become an Entered Apprentice when you are initiated. The next degree is the Fellowcraft and then Master Mason. Still learning myself so someone else could better explain the rest.

Thank you! Hopefully someone with more experience than me could better explain this.

That is not true. There are about 42 states that recognize PH which is recognized by UGLE. This is probably a rumor started by those in the states that don't recognize PH. Now if your state doesn't recognize PH, then you couldn't visit a PH lodge. I am just an EA but that just doesn't make...

Do you mean a Prince Hall lodge in another state? The map illustrates the states that recognize Prince Hall.

I was just initiated into a "mainstream" lodge. Race wasn't an issue there. Although I am not naive enough to think, that is not an issue at other lodges. Hopefully, that changes sooner rather than later.

http://www.myfreemasonry.com/showthread.php/742-Prince-Hall-Questions?p=4602&viewfull=1#post4602 You indicated earlier that visitation was not requested because it had been privately demanded by GLoTX it not be requested.

Earlier you asked me to reference some of Brother Bowden's works on the subject matter. That was one of his suggestions earlier. http://www.myfreemasonry.com/showthread.php/15364-Prince-Hall-and-Mainstream-Freemasonry?p=85972&viewfull=1#post85972 . Also, MWPHGLAR has done something similar. I...

I still don't see how it is all the fault of the MWGLoTX even assuming that such a letter was sent out. Theoretically, the MWPHGLTX could have recognized the MWGLoTX and put the ball in their court as Brother Bowden suggested in another post. Then if they did not receive a response, then you...

This is a post from Brother Bowden on the subject. http://www.myfreemasonry.com/showthread.php/15364-Prince-Hall-and-Mainstream-Freemasonry?p=110456&viewfull=1#post110456

I edited my previous post to include a link to what I read on this site about the issue.

From what I have read on this website, that may not be entirely true. Prince Hall requested recognition but not visitation. More likely both grand lodges are partly to blame to some degree...

Tonight is the night. Seems like such a long time has passed since I first started the process but in reality it hasn't been that long. But I am really looking forward to my journey.

I will be initiated on May 1 into a "mainstream" lodge. For some reason I wanted to go mainstream but wouldn't had a problem going Prince Hall if that was the only option available; I wanted to be a freemason first and foremost. The first local lodge I visited didn't seem like a good fit for me...

This website has a lot of info and if you look at the grand lodge of the jurisdiction you are in, that will help as well. There is only so much you can learn online. If you really want to be a freemason, go visit a local lodge. You might not find one that is a good fit initially but try again if...

Not a mason yet but that was a great post.
