Re: Membership and participation in Freemasonry to It is on the shoulders of the members and the Worshipful Master equally. The sitting WM has to feel the brethren are willing to come to lodge and the brethren expect magic every time they attend lodge. There has to be a middle ground or an...

I am torn on the subject. As a prospective candidate I was very nervous about being balloted on. One black ball rejects in my jurisdiction. However after becoming a MM, I feel that west door should be guarded with the one black ball rule. I have a question on masonic conduct... I miss...

Hah! I was just replying in jest. (I know, text is emotionless.) Looks nice.

need pictures! :beer:

A friend of mine is not a mason yet owns his own heating and cooling business. He does simple stuff for me for free. I pay cost on parts for bigger jobs and buy some pizza and beer for him/his crew. The relationship is not based on the give and take. I've also had dealings with others in the...

thoughts of mortality hit me hard edit: of

The degree was awesome. The rehearsals the lodge holds paid off. The degree was advanced chairs but only for the Wardens and Master. Everyone else was in their respective chair. The Senior Deacon was crisp. Everything from the proper introduction of the visiting, sitting and past masters on...

With trying to answer question 2. You cannot talk to them about masonry anymore than you could talk to your neighbor about masonry (if he is not a mason.) Treat them as a friend but they are not a Brother.

no. Just thinking out loud. Just a random thought so too speak.

Are you a MM after taking the oath or obligation? What did you behold after the OB? How were they arranged? Remember how you were dressed when you entered lodge for the second part. Funny thing splitting up the degree. I creates a conundrum so to speak.

I have the opportunity to travel to a local lodge this Monday night to see a Fellowcraft degree. It is the Durand Lodge in the 17th district in New Jersey. The lecture is given on the actual staircase instead of using a mat. This lodge rehearses twice a month every month so I'm excited to see...

Bro. Jordan. Congratz! You're way up there. I'm down in southern Ocean County in Mariners 150.

This Do you mean you're an EA or FC about to deploy or are you a master mason who is looking for masonic communications while deployed?

I am newly raised and I am not a member of the AASR so my question may come off as reaaalllyyy dumb. The AASR does not deal in blue lodge degree work so how can a SR mason violate his OB if it is SR business being discussed and not blue lodge? This would be like the GLoNJ saying my elks lodge...

The Left hand ring finger has usually been said to lead to your heart and so it is why we wear a wedding ring on our left hand. The right hand has been accepted as the sign of Fidelity hence wearing your masonic ring on your right hand. Points up or down is up to you although it has its meaning...

I think the brother's post was not written the way he thought it to be because the former makes no sense if you take his statement at face value. For example, the S and C is the symbol for our fraternity however it has a deeper meaning to a mason than what the average person might be able to...

Re: Just married, looking for words of wisdom and Put your dirty clothes in the hamper. Not on the floor next to it. Put back everything in its place from whence you took it. A good example is the car keys. These go on the key rack and not on the island in the kitchen. You will catch a look if...

It is etiquette to stand to great someone regardless of who they are freemason or not. imho. My age is mid 30's and that is how I was raised.

exposes have been made and availible for centuries in the library. You wont be able to get into a lodge using what is out there.

Isn't it funny how becoming a mason changes how you look at things? Now anytime I see these boxes at work all I see is Who But Worshipful Brother Mason. ...
