Thank you for proving my point.

Your experience here would likely have been much different had you just stated your position and allowed the debate to happen naturally instead of you trying to force the discussion along your prepared course to force the outcome you wanted.

I don't even thin they're a troll. More someone who doesn't know how an internet forum works.

Congratulations on getting your Third, Brother!

I'm going to go ahead and bow out now. Good luck.

I'll not concede anything, because as stated, I'm not an expert in international law. Simply state why you think this is relevant and cite examples. Because, honestly, this sounds like some of that "Texas is its own country" kind of nonsense. Do I think this question came up when the state of...

Not offended. Merely annoyed at how you are presenting your argument. I might be interested in the discussion, but since you won't actually state your argument, I can't know and I'm not willing to play your game. I am not an expert on international law by any means, but if I understand things...

Healthy discussion is great. That's not what this thread is, sorry. You're making vague statements with no context and ignoring the replies if it isn't the answer you want. You're broaching a delicate topic where you obviously want to disparage the leadership of your grand lodge and I really...

Probably not, since you haven't explained your point well enough so that we are talking about the same thing. But go ahead anyway.

What does a 19th century Supreme Court ruling on the comity clause have to with your issue with Texas Freemasonry? Please just make your case. I'm much more a student of the Aristotelian method over the Socrates. Make your case with supporting evidence and we'll go from there. Much better than...

No, a corporation CAN move from one country (sovereignty) to another without giving up its old charter through a process called re-domiciliation. Maybe just make your point and we will discuss it instead of trying to lead us down this path you have planned out.

This sounds like a discussion you should be having within the membership of your jurisdiction, rather than on an untyled forum on the internet.

Many organizations have chaplains and are not a religion. My military unit had a chaplain but the military is not a religion. We had a chaplain when I was with the sheriff's department but they are not a religion either. So, your confusion at Freemasonry having chaplains but also not being a...

Looks like there's multiple Masonic organizations in Serbia and I don't know that they are all Regular or legitimate. Good luck.

Which of the six locations is closest? Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Zrenjanin, Vršac, Smederevo, Kragujevac or Niš. See what Lodges on their list are in that town and then do a Google search for those Lodges and contact info. Some jurisdictions don't want to make things too easy. You have to...

Most jurisdictions call it a Petition to receive the degrees, not an application, and that is usually a form provided by them. I also don't recall ever hearing of a Grand Lodge requiring a CV with that submission. Other more knowledgeable Brothers may know better and weigh in here. What Grand...

That's because you're looking in the Foreign Grand Lodge section. DGLE is not a foreign jurisdiction but the East African province for the UGLE. https://www.ugle.org.uk/about-us/districts-and-groups

I opened a lodge meeting once wearing a Loyal Order of Water Buffalo hat. Wish I'd gotten a pic of that.

That's part of the French Tradition, correct? Mixed lodges with men and women and no requirement for belief in a supreme being.

If you're in the position of needing an attorney then you should look for the one that will handle your situation the best regardless of whether they are also a Mason or not. The odds of you finding a Brother, in your area, that specialized in the law area that you need and is available makes...
