Is 2B1ASK1 still an effective method for increasing membership? Does it really work in 2014? What are the alternatives?

Knights of Pythagoras. It is the youth group similar to the Demolay.

I believe that this is an epidemic that is outside of the scope of a GLs power. There are states that have legislation that prevents the "impersonation" of a Freemason. What is it that the GL could do to a clandestine mason that would be binding? Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

Many times the lodge represents the demographic of its location. In my experience, many people feel comfortable with those that look like them. Its not a bad thing, I think it just takes some extra nudging to step outside of your comfort zone. The reality is that the GLoTX membership is...

I hope that you would strive to do that without being a mason.

Yes, only the GAOTU can judge you, but as far as masonic membership goes, there are some guidelines and prerequisites that must be met. Again, I'm sure that the brothers here would be willing to assist you if you ever decide to join the fraternity. Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

A Clandestine Mason is one who is a member of a Grand Lodge that was not formed in accordance with the ancient customs and usages or a Lodge whose Charter was revoked (thus removing the Masonic authority). There are literally hundreds of these "bogus" organizations existent today. Some were...

They don't offer healing because if you are not IPR'd in a legitimate lodge, technically you are not a mason.

What are some of the side degrees you guys have? Has anyone ever heard of the Yellow Dog degree?

Couple of things. We really don't know who requested the no visitation. Fingers have been pointed on both sides. Our annual communication is next week. Let's see how it goes. Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

"So, as wonderful as some of the Masonic Lodges of the 19th and early 20th Century were and are, the days when they represented realistic options is over. Freemasonry, even if it is able to stem the tide of a receding membership, must come to grips with a new condition. Freemasonry must, at...

I'm sure that I could make that same call to our GL and get the same information. We do not have a book of lodges among the collective of PHGLs, unfortunately. My original comment was based on the very basic rules of recognition. If we recognize each other, they can visit. I will dig in a bit...

Speculating here: only members of jurisdictions with mutual recognition AND visitation with the MWPHGLoTX would be able to visit. I have been told that with proper correspondence, it may be possible for exceptions to be made. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using My Freemasonry HD mobile app
