You need to define what you mean by esoteric. By the dictionary definition, almost everything we do in a tyled meeting is esoteric. What kind of work are you wanting to do that they're not letting you do?

From Google Translate: "Good morning, I am a new member. Can you help me?" Where are you a member, and what help are you looking for?

Greetings. Introduce yourself more fully; Lodge name and number?

I really have no idea what you're talking about.

If we knew, we wouldn't tell you, because we don't know you. Since Freemasonry is technically not permitted in Jordan, identifying members could possibly get them into difficulty. For all we know, you could be a government agent trying to get information. Sorry, but you're on your own to find...

I reported the spam, but nothing happened. If they need another moderator, I'll volunteer. I mod a couple of different boards.

My lodge has both a piano and an organ, but no one can play them, so . . .

Different jurisdictions have different rules on this. Some states require you to start over, some will recognize the degrees for a certain amount of time (your Grand Lodge should contact the Philippines for confirmation; they will want to get it directly, not third party), and some will...

I would vote against such a proposal in my lodge. Being elected or appointed to a line office is an honor, and no one who needs to be bribed should receive the honor. Don't accept the position if you aren't willing to perform the duties. Hell, back in the early days of Freemasonry, the...

That is, word for word, excerpted from a column I wrote for the electronic newsletter of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota back in 2014 when I was the Grand Lodge Education Officer. I have shared it with some people outside of Minnesota in the past. I'm glad it's getting used.

I do them more simply (don't have the woodworking skills or equipment!)

If I were you, I'd do some checking on the situation with people you trust before you go there with that tattoo. Look at the warnings (read: threats) that Qatar is issuing to people coming for the World Cup. I'd hate to end up in a Dubai prison. Seriously.
