    The Lost Symbol TV Show

    Did you watch his YouTube commentary? By the way, I found the book extremely disappointing. It was a typical Brown page-turner, but the end left me thinking "that's it? All that for this?" There is free programming on Peacock, and there is programming only available to those with paid...

    The Lost Symbol TV Show

    I'm not a subscriber, and don't intend to be, so I didn't watch. However, I did watch Brother Maynard Edwards's YouTube video about the Masonic symbolism in the first episode. You don't have to have watched the show to get something out of it.

    The Lost Symbol TV Show

    I was under the understanding that you have to have the subscription (paid) version of Peacock for this show.

    Freemasonry AS religion?

    Freemasonry has no dogma, doesn't tell you what is a sin and what isn't, doesn't prescribe a path to salvation. So it doesn't meet the definition of a religion. But I remember when Brother Ernest Borgnine said "Freemasonry is all the religion I need." I fully understood what he was saying...

    Rosslyn Chapel & Scottish Freemasonry

    His book "The Rosslyn Hoax?" is an excellent read on the topic.

    Greetings from Ft Huachuca, AZ

    Yeah, if you're doing Master Craftsman, purchase the versions that include the book. They charge less for the course and book than you'd pay for the book alone.

    Is the end really near for freemasonry ?

    Don't visit any lodges in the U.K., then. Nearly every one I visited in Scotland had a bar. Come to think of it, you probably don't want to visit my lodge. We have a bar.

    all recognized Master Masons currently in active military service or have in the past served and is

    Yeah, I get the vibe that it's a recruitment drive more than a sop to hurt feelings.

    Knights of columbus?

    You're definitely not the only Catholic Mason. I know plenty. I've known of men who were both KoC and Masons, but I don't know if their KoC knew about it. The last statement from Rome is that Catholics who are Masons are in a state of "grave sin" and should not receive communion, but American...

    The freemason movie

    And I heard it was Buffalo Bob Smith on Howdy Doody. I suspect the whole thing is apocryphal.

    32* Out of Touch Help

    I wouldn't worry at all. Tell the brothers in the new valley exactly what you've told us, and I'm certain they'll welcome you with open arms.

    York Rite/ Scottish Rite

    York Rite tends to be localized, with chapters, councils, and commanderies co-located with blue lodges, while Scottish Rite tends to be regional, with only a few valleys in the state. This is both a strength and a weakness for both. York Rite is usually closer to the average Mason, often in...

    PHA recognition

    Yeah, Minnesota allows visitation to and from any PHA Grand Lodge that is in amity with its corresponding state Grand Lodge, regardless of whether there is a formal recognition between Minnesota and the PHA GL in question. However, it would probably create serious problems in Masonry if any...
