Even if they weren't I am willing to be there are a few people sitting in a cell that were once a part of the Grand Lodge of Texas, AF&AM. Not to mention all the politicians.

I would like to first THANK YOU for this post. By doing so you have challenged me to educate myself so I can partake in this discussion and I have probably done more research today than in the past Masonic year. I love it. That being said, it would be no different than how you see the Grand...

The original in Massachusetts yes. Then from that there were others allowed to be formed, much like many Grand Jurisdictions in the United Stated.

Do you not see the image of the Article 36 stating that a "negro" as illegal to be a Mason? They were not recognized by many Masonic jurisdictions due to race. They do consider themselves as "Freemasons" but we, through ignorance, have learned to call them "Prince Hall Freemasons" as to take...

In addition to my previous post I would like to submit the following. I am asked from time to time, "Why don't the 'blacks' join the Grand Lodge of Texas we let them in?" My answer to that is we have not always and because man is flawed many lodges still do not. There are more states in the...

So let me get this correct before we delve deeper on this subject. The question is that Prince Hall Freemasonry may be clandestine because it is assumed that since Prince Hall was born 100 years before the abolition of slavery that he must have been born into slavery. Is that correct? If so a...

I just want to thank everyone for playing in the First Annual MoT Fantasy Football League on Yahoo and ESPN. I would like to now apologize for the amazing draft picks I made making it a waste of time for you guys. I will do my best to field a team that just good enough to squeak by with a "W"...

One of the best posts ever on this site!!! Should be put in the MOT Hall of Fame.

I knew I had seen this somewhere and I FINALLY found it. This is a "tradition" and is not rule or law. This is actually in the ALL Program. Hope this helps.

There was a candidate just petition Maple Leaf Lodge 147 in a previous thread. Maybe we can get you two in touch. http://www.masonsoftexas.com/showthread.php?14222-Turning-in-the-petition

Before you read this, I want you to know I am writing this not as a staff member of MasonsofTexas but as a Master Mason under the Grand Lodge of Texas, AF&AM. Some people may get their feelings hurt and that may not be my intent, but I hope this opens people’s eyes to a flawed system that only...

Keep us posted on you journey. Where is that located?

This decision is all about your personal preference and where you feel comfortable. I know several (Caucasian and hispanic) brothers that have now moved their membership to PHA from GLoTX. I personally have made the decision to do this as well and I am currently in the stage of moving my...

I too hope, for the sake of golf, that Tiger comes back strong. I hope he wasn't blaming his poor play on Steve but instead is starting completely over from square one. I thought for someone that has not played in several months he looked awesome. His drives were a little erratic but overall his...

Well I need to apologize for the AWESOME picks I made. I know by doing so it pretty much made the season unfair.

You are in luck. I have made one that when you click on the article referenced it will take you to the law. It is on a spreadsheet. Click here and download it

I am. I wouldn't miss this for the world. Already got me a donut to sit on after the one guy died from a blood clot after the marathon xbox session.

I was personally told it stays on the bible during an open meeting but on the candidate's book of faith during a degree by a GL official but the true ruling would be given by the Grand Master in the form of an edict or ruling. I don't know that such written instruction exists. My recomendation...

If you are looking more affordable then the jeweler by JC Penny's inside Ridgmar mall did some work on an older ring of mine. Affordable and good work. Pretty fast too.
