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...

I'd actually be relieved that nothing had changed. I hope you didn't think that becoming a Mason would get you favored status at work. I don't know about your jurisdiction, but in mine those kind of expectations are addressed in the interrogatories before the first degree.

First of all, you should ask to meet with him privately. Ask him why you've been passed over. If his answer isn't one that restores your faith in your lodge, perhaps you need to look for another lodge in your area that's a better fit for you.

I dabble in guitar playing (retirement project.) Posters in a guitar group I frequent sometimes drive me nuts with this. The other day there was a thread with the title "DLR" Reading the post, he was apparently referring to some rock performer, but continued to only refer to him as DLR. From...
