    Visiting too much?

    I say visit. I affiliated with a Lodge I visited because I felt they could use the added support my dues gave them. I will purchase an endowment eventually but I like just giving my dues money. I feel there is nothing wrong with just visiting. Your company is probably payment enough to them.

    Compact Signing

    I have heard from a VERY credible source says the original compact that was presented to our Fraternal Relations Committee had visitation but PHA was told to take it out or it would not pass.

    What issues are negatively impacting your Lodge?

    You should have plenty of oppurtunities for this seeing the average age for a Mason in Texas is 70. (As per a GL stat I requested last week) I would say this is a negative issue impacting Masonry in Texas. There are a lot of small town Lodges that are on the bring of demise because they...

    Recruiting?

    I would like to know why the DDGM said this. The one thing I have learned is that just because the DDGM says this, or any GL official says it, does not make it right. In order for this to happen it would require a law change and there has been no such resolution there for not true. We can offer...

    I have two friends that can't have children and they quoted $40,000.00. That to me is stupid. They are saving for it. Its sad.

    Who should host the Tonight Show?

    You know I didn't watch but I do like Conan. Last night I did watch however and I really feel bad for the guy. It was total class the whole way I thought. He could have said anything about NBC but chose to thank them for letting him live dream. It was cool to see.

    One Day Classes

    I apologize if I misread the statement but I though Brother Wingnut was asking why should them going to Iraq or being deployed have any bearing on them being raised before they go. To that I gave why I thought it was important. Is that incorrect?

    Obey Your Government???

    How great would it be if there were no party's but just a candidate with a view point? Oh how wonderful it would be. Just the face a person can fill one box and elect a whole buch of politicians is wrong to me. I think you should at least have to pick each one.

    Do we focus too much on charity?

    Look at the IRS definition for a 501(c) 10. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopicf04.pdf Also Article 1 of the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Texas or as in our Grand Lodge Law Book Division 2, Article 1, Section 2

    One Day Classes

    I have not posted in some time on here but I have been hanging back and reading. Brother Christopher, we as a lodge felt that the Brother that is serving his country and his fellow man has learned much of what is taught. Yes there are the exceptions to the rule. You call yourself a...

    LA puts Prince Hall recognition on the next GL agenda

    I wonder if PHA put LA recognition on thier agenda first or if LA took initive because they feel they should recognize all organizations that practice regular Masonry the same? Hmmm, I wonder.:confused1:

    Completing the work after initiation.

    We had to do a Waiver of Jurisdiction on case last month. Acually a brother from MoT. He was initiated in KS. They can't be dismissed per our Grand Secretary since they are not "Members" meaning they do noe pay dues, they pay fees.
