This years should give you a good idea but the new requirement list should be out in August so don't do something in July that you may need on your check list.
Totally disagree. Instead of informing us that it is against the law and we should study the constitutions please quote exactly where it is that it would be in violation those are written and can be quoted. I agree with Rhit, if the Grand West voted to allow the use then why not legislate a...
No worries Huw, JTM and I are long time forum goers. One of our jobs here is to stem debate and keep hot topics going. Don't let that stop you. All we are saying is the only place we have recognition without visitation is with PHAoTX. I personally have asked several PHA members and GLoTX...
Not necessarily Bro. Huw. In the US there are several Grand Jurisdictions that do not allow dual or plural membership from one jurisdiction to the next. They are all listed in a book we have issued every year.
Exactly. When 148 was born it was well documented it would not "compete" with MOT. Our active Lodge membership is a young group and due to the "internet age" that is finding our Lodge through the website we made wanted a way members could stay in connection and with several of us being original...
I have attended various PHA sponsered BBQ's and was treated on the Level everytime. So many guys came and gave me a handshake and a hug in most cases. In discussion all each of the ones said all they want is recognition as we would recognize ANY other Grand Jurisdiction.
I personally find it hard to believe that Masonry was originated to Christian culture or any one culture. There are far too many things that would suggest otherwise. Why would Christians be so passionate about freedom of religion allowing all religions to be accepted into the Fraternity? I also...

It is listed as a form on the Secretary's Database in PDF. If anyone is intrested just give your secretary a shout. I would say it is pretty late in the year to start this now but the upcoming Masonic year is about to begin and the new requirements should be coming out soon. The Vangaurd goes...
We do payments at Fort Worth 148 and we are very upfront with the additional cost and it has been utilized so much. Even with the additional costs our members love the option.

I think this would have helped me in a Lodge I sat in when several members found out there was to be a ballot for a black candidate. When members showed up just to "vote on the n-word" as they put it. That is a black eye for Masonry and it is not needed. When we pursued avenues with GL we were...
One thing you need to understand is that this is a Masonic FORUM. The purpose of this forum is discussion. Without opposition there is no discussion. From time to time I will "play devil’s advocate" just to spur discussion. Without it this site would not have any members and would have died a...
