With the original answer being answered, I am definitely up for the ability to expel a mason from the Lodge with an appeal process to Grand Lodge. My belief is the Worshipful Master does not have enough power in his Lodge. I have seen disruptive people in a Lodge and when the WM get angry, the...
I would like to investigate the org a little more as an investigator but as far as not allowing them to join. All I am to ask is belief in god, immortality of the soul, and a belief in the holy scriptures. Now as far as the sex acts, I would have a tough time with this as well, I would have to...
Thank you Brother Jones. So back to the original questions. (By the way consider this my first gavel to order one more and I'm just going to start tossing people.)
This is just me, but just because they are scheduled till the end of the month they can/should be coming up there and visiting on floor school nights. I can just say that I am very busy the week before and the week of stated meeting. There may be a good reason for post poning it. I recommend you...

I just want to put this out there. Here is the actual GLoTX Law.
Art. 397. (434). Religious Belief. A firm belief in the existence
of God, the immortality of the soul, and the divine authenticity of the
Holy Scriptures is indispensably necessary before a candidate can
be initiated, but...
Well I am finding out more times than not the correct procedure is not being followed on many issues. Hopefully, by us having this section we can correct that on a few issues and people.
Back, and I found it. I hope this helps.
Art. 413. Ballot. When the report of the investigating committee
has been made, and one lunar month has elapsed since the
presentation of said petition, the ballot shall be taken. If found
clear, the candidate may be initiated as soon as...
15 days they must be notified in writting. It is in the law book and I am on my way out the door. It is in the balloting section of the laws. If no one posts the article by the time I get back I will post it.
