Everyone expresses themselves diffrently. Anyone as the right to say they are a Mason, heck I know card carriers that are no more a Mason than Jay-Z. Doesn't matter to me.
This is not the case. If you violate a law of the Grand Lodge of KY in KY they would send the charges to your home GL and your GL should try you or run the risk of loosing recognition from the GL of KY. This is the way it is written in our GL Law book and after speaking to a few people this is...
That is correct JTM. I take it that you are to obey the laws of which jurisdiction you are in not which one you took an oath to. This is part of the recognition agreement between the two Grand Lodges.
Adam West would have been great for me. I loved him in the Batman series and more recently Mayor West on Family Guy. Nothing like a guy that can make fun of himself in a cartoon.
I was reading an old law book (From 1919) and in it I saw where the Grand Master had the authority to do a lot of things, even make a Mason on sight. I then looked at a Law book from the 50s and it was all removed. The only time I can find a Grand Master can pull a charter is on unpaid annual...
Bro. Harris my question to you then would be at what point should GL step in, if any, to dictate this? I know a man that travels is sure to walk into a Lodge that frankly cannot open or close the Lodge and after sitting through this it becomes in question how can they do a degree, how can they...
I don't know enough about it. I wonder with the decline in membership how this organization plans on dealing the issues they are faced. How stable are they? What are the doing to bring members in or is it like Masonry where they are not allowed to solicit for members?
Why doesn't someone just send a request for a Grand Master's Decision on this? If it was rejected by the Grand Lodge body for recognition I am confused as to how it would be legal. I really don't know though.
I love the Apron and I assure you we are already working on a resolution for next year to fix this Apron issue. There is no reason we shouldn't be able to express our selves with personalized aprons like out ancient brethren did.
This is a photo of the first CV version of the F-35 that finished paint yesterday.
The first System Development and Demonstration (SDD) F-35C carrier variant for the U.S. Navy, CF-1, has just come out of factory final finishes outfitted with a fresh paint job. Preparations are now...
Hmmm....
Just saw the Masonic Education Topic for this month that Bro. Bob Northcutt wrote and I think it talks about this very thing. I find it funny that Grand Lodge askes for more money and comes around to the Lodges then publishes that the money we pay is not the "backbone" of Masonry...
Lodge Dues We Pay
Most Brethren understand that a lodge is a certain number of Brethren with a charter or warrant, and when assembled, set to work. Likewise they know that lodge dues are the fees required to remain an active member of the fraternity, but there is more to consider with lodge...
