Greetings and welcome !

Me either.. Congrats on successfully walking that path.

I will play devil's advocate - yes it is fair... because older members often cannot attend because of ill health or other age related issues. They can't. So, do you think your inability to attend should stop others meeting ? Again, devil's advocate..

Google will be your friend.. Here is the history of our building https://www.lodgedevotion.net/gipps-street-abbotsford/collingwood-united-masonic-temple-trust-a-brief-history here is what I think was the coolest masonic building in my city...

Google your local lodge (sorry, we get asked this all the time and it gets tiring..)

And that's what is being lost... personal responsibility and decision... If lodges were meeting this week, I would not go here.. because we are having a second wave, but GL has said no meetings until Jan 2021... but I sometimes wonder, if it is legal to meet (it is not here due to a 6 week...

Lodge meetings in person might be on hold, but in my world the "fraternity" is not. Spent 5 hours on ZOOM with Freemasons on Sat night and lots of phone calls and other communications with my brothers. The Pandemic is a chance for Freemasonry and Brotherly love to shine.

I think different people take different paths and they are all legitimate. For me, I took the slow route. I think it was about a decade before I joined and appendant body, because I took the advice of the Tyler on the night I was initiated - " Don't join anything else until you understand the...

Prayers sent !

What a good conversation. It is a tricky question and I acknowledge the "slippery slope" and against "evil happens when good men do nothing". For me, it's about Masonic Values, - "We prize each Brother, fair or dark, who bears no moral stain"" (Not a line from our ritual but the Tyler's...

"t L t S M P a I Ms i Mry." I have no idea what that is ahahahahahaha ! (Please don't expel me !). *sends PM*

You have seen this ? http://freemasonsfordummies.blogspot.com/2020/06/grand-masters-in-washington-dc-issue.html And it was followed by others http://freemasonsfordummies.blogspot.com/2020/06/joint-unity-statement-issued-by.html...

Thanks the others said.. but also, the bows are decorative, the collars are pinned using a safety pin..

You do your first three Degrees in the "Scottish Rite" ?

Average age of a man joining here is 33. A good age is when you want to join... eldest man I have seen join was 82, youngest 18, on his 18th Birthday (you can apply here at 17, but cannot be initiated until 18)

Grand Lodge Victoria expected to reopen 1 Sept with restrictions.
