Since this is such an old thread, I probably already said this: If you see me on the street wearing a square and compass, or a Scottish Rite double eagle, what gives you the right to "challenge" me in any way? Unless I'm seeking admission to your lodge with no one to vouch for me, you have no...

Yeah, if what you're asking is whether you can wear a 32° Scottish Rite apron in craft lodge, I would say that would be inappropriate. As for wearing a personally-owned Master Mason apron or Past Master apron, that would be up to the jurisdiction. Some are quite strict about aprons, others are...

I'm familiar with The Tyler's Place podcast. It's created by the Scottish Rite SJ in Washington DC. I subscribe so I get a description of each episode, but most often it's just someone reading an article from the Scottish Rite Journal (or the predecessor The New Age) so I rarely listen to it...

Welcome to the group, Brother Vest!

Welcome, Brother Charles!

Welcome to the group, Brother Blair!

To you as well my brother, and I hope your mission is going well.

Contact the Grand Lodge of Florida for information about your dad. The Grand Secretary in most states is quite helpful in that regard. https://www.grandlodgefl.com/contact/ If you know what state your grandfather was a Mason in, look for that web site. Were your Rainbow and your mother's...

I would tend to think that any foreign jurisdiction that has practices or rules that violate your obligation, that jurisdiction is unlikely to be recognized by yours. Unrecognized, therefor visitation not allowed. End of quandary.

I'm not understanding what it is you're asking from us. Freemasonry is banned in Egypt. You're in Egypt. Therefore, there is no Freemasonry for you to join. Unless you move from Egypt to a country where Freemasonry is permitted, there's nothing we can do to help you.

Welcome brother! After all that effort, you may find the activity level to be a bit low on here.

Yeah, whitepages.com here is a paid subscription service.

The only sites like that here require you to pay for a subscription to get your results. Some used to be free, but no longer.

I don't know about where you are, but here there are so few people who still have a landline phone that the phone company stopped distributing directories years ago.

I'd approach the WM informally to gauge his support. I would think any decent WM would be on board with it, and would simply add that item to the meeting agenda. Personally, I think every lodge should be doing an education piece in every stated meeting.

Most Grand Lodge web sites have a "contact us" page, but otherwise yes, the Grand Secretary.

It would help if you told us where you are. Your best bet would be to contact the Grand Lodge of the jurisdiction in which you reside. They'll be able to tell you what is necessary to get reinstated, and steer you to a lodge.

I sincerely wish you good luck in rehabilitating your life.

While there are some jurisdictions in which a prior felony is not automatically disqualifying, leaving the final decision to the individual lodges, I'm fairly comfortable in saying that they would want, at a minimum, quite a few years to have elapsed before you'd even be considered. Even then...

Most likely only when there is a meeting of one of the Masonic bodies that meet there.
