This is one of those threads where words cannot convey the feelings one has when they read this... Edit: I'll bring it up at my next meeting to the WM. We are very tight though with our financial obligations so I'm not sure what we can do as a lodge. Does your lodge/district/GL have a paypal...

Super simple terms... my boss thinks he can run a construction business because he knows how to swing a hammer. He would be dead in the water without the people who work for him. It is amazing how someone can own a business and not know how to apply the math or law required to perform the...

Taking all my might to not get up, tell him the eff off and walk out.

We have what is called a Distinguished White Apron that has the seal of the New Jersey Grand Lodge on it. It is for Masons who go above and beyond the service of the lodge or community but do not intend to get in line for the oriental chair. Edited: To clarify: No intentions in going to the...

The color one looks like a clouded canopy. I'm still of the mind that the black and white one could be highest of hills or lowest of valleys. I tried TinEye on the color image to see if I could find a site that had definitions to go along with the numbers on the colored tracing board but had no...

Always remember that the white apron is the most important apron. A Past Master that did his time in the chair may know more men than you but that does not make them a better Mason than you. (So long as they remember their roots!) Remember, A mason who intends to go east should travel to get...

I did not have an image in my reply. I felt what I posted was too much for non masons to see so I edited myself. I too see it as a highest of hills and lowest of valleys.

I think what we have come to experience in real life as a mason is not as glorified as the internet makes it out to be.

New Jersey ... 100 dollars sent in with your petition. This does not get cashed until your voted on. 250 is due at your initiation. We get our lambskin apron the night we are initiated. Not sure on the cost of these. We get an Heirloom Family Masonic Bible when we turn in our Master Mason...

A mason should never assume another person is a mason. I've met someone who is a mason but I've never sat in a lodge of Master Masons with him. He gripped me right off the bat even when I was concealing my grip. It was the most awkward handshake I ever experienced. I felt like I was wrong to...

My brother-in-law is not a mason. I knew him long before I was a Mason. He is an auto mechanic. I let him work on my car because I know he is not going to rip me off. I guess I am a bad person because I do no throw my business to people I don't know and keep business with those I do know. My...

Re: What kind of Lodge Education Programs do you l We have a PM that eats, breathes and sleeps ritual. He heads our advisory and ritual committee. He holds a class on a Saturday after a degree has taken place. He breaks down the obligation and the degree to explain to the brethren what they...

"Respectively Dedicated by permission to F. Whyter Melville Esquire of Bennochy, The Most Worshipfil Grand Master Mason of Scotland By His Humble Servant William Garoy." edit: best I could get with the names.

Where did lodges meet before meeting in buildings? The symbol depicted to me looks like a cut away of a land mass that has certain features.

another take on it... edit: may not be for public view.

I played house league hockey before I hurt my back. ( :15:) There were three seasons in a year. Winter, Spring and Summer. Fall rolled into winter the way the scheduling worked out. Depending on the amount of teams and people one could expect to pay anywhere between 300 ~ 350 a person per...

Is this another, "I've no clue what freemasonry is but I'm going to tell you all that you are wrong because I know how to read," threads?

Somewhere in the 1700's the EA was split into two degrees. EA and FC as we know it now and the MM degree grew out from what was left over. Research the GL of Scotland and the royal arch degrees which created the schism between moderns and ancients... Also, remember that there is a difference...

I'm in Mariners Lodge in Barnegat which is about 30 miles north. I do not know anyone from Linwood. I'm assuming youre speaking of Justice Lodge 285? Here is their website. http://www.mastermason.com/23rdmasonicdistrict/index_files/Justice.htm After looking at this, I'm not sure how current...

I might be oversimplifying it but our appendant and youth bodies are paying a compliment to those who *were* actual knights by naming themselves after that organization and in the case of our boys youth group, JDM. Kind of like naming your son after a close friend. It does not mean your son is...
