The more I study, the less it turns out that Freemasons actually owe to that era, anyway, at least by comparison of the full tradition of Freemasonry. Masons were far more important and influential in their own right in the Middle Ages. That is when they really took off as "masters" with the...

Obviously, a Catholic name is one of the "eee" names, "O'Reilly", "Maloney", "Scarapelli", "O'Banon"--never mind.

Who is Janice, and what is her radius of delivery?

In my case there was more of a "Mind that bus!" "Bus, what bus?" SPLAT. I got a call asking me if I still wanted to be a Mason. When I said I did, I was told that I needed to show up tomorrow night to be initiated. Great guys--with a sense of humor.

Therefore, does that mean that you are of the opinion that Freemasons MUST reject Christianity?

I flat-out asked my priest about Freemasonry, and he approved. Of course, a religious bigot would be upset by that approval. A bigot would, over and over again say things that can only be interpreted to mean that one CANNOT be a Mason and be religious. After all, if "Masonry encourages...

Point being?

That's nice, it's also not relevant outside of Greece. The "Church of Greece's" jurisdiction ends at the borders of Greece.

It be sayin' that Masons be makin' time wi' ye wenches like Johnny Dep do, arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Is it like a Lodge of Research?

While a high-security login message and chat system is workable, I would never think of it as a Lodge. Just as the work is to be transmitted mouth to ear, not using the modern convenience of writing in the process of actual transmission, there are times when some of "the old ways" need preservation.

In theory, if we manage to get Lodges all the way up Alaska and across Tunguska, Amur, etc., it could be pulled off over the Pacific, but I don't think that it's really quite there.

Appendant means "hangs below", not "sits above".

Heh--kind of like trying to do exegesis with only a KJV. You've got to have context beyond the one volume. If you don't, you will get lost.

The Hebrew doesn't match, either. Are you saying that the Hebrew accounts were all translated from a different language, multiple times? This is one apparent discrepancy that is amenable to a critical solution. The three books overlap in the periods they treat, but they were apparently composed...

What of the other Boaz in Scripture?

A National Grand Lodge of the USA could also prevent mistakes from being corrected. Consider that recognition of PHA was opposed by the majority of state Grand Lodges at one time and thus would have been opposed by a National Grand Lodge. However, the independence of each state meant that the...

There has never been a UK Grand Lodge. There is no Grand Lodge of Canada. Why need there be a Grand Lodge of the USA?

Cheer up, it's no time to wallow in the mire.

In what state did this unmasonic barbarity occur to you?
