    How Dark Were the Dark Ages?

    Sorry ... don't buy it. As to the question. How Dark were the Dark Ages? Answer: Look around.

    As the Sun Rises in the East

    I recognize this picture. There's this one Worshipful Myself-master I know who has his stage crew follow him where ever he goes. Yes ... collars sometime make the man.

    As the Sun Rises in the East

    Which, all to often, begin to work their progress before my fellow "ole cutes" vacate the tiled sessions.

    When do you wear your Master Masons Ring?

    Between showers. Stone. My father and late brother wore the ring. My nephew will wear it too. After that, it's his decision.

    questions brothers ask and answer in public?

    Tricky! But if they are listening close, they ought to be able to answer either of these. I suppose.

    The freemason movie

    Could we possibly throw a few aliens into the mix? Maybe a ghost or two. And, oh yes, a ninja transformer! Borrowing a phrase from Captain Kangaroo, "That ought to hold the little bas@^#ds."

    Texas aprons

    Both. Most Brothers wear their personal aprons for special events. Things like funerals, rededications of their vows, raising of family members and close friends, et al. Each lodge has an apron cabinet that Brethren use to cloth themselves for lodge meetings. Past Masters sometimes wear...

    How often do you visit other lodges

    Very often. I enjoy fellowship with my fellow masons. This is an enriching experience that is all to often missed by most of the members of the craft. One of those wages of masonry, so to speak. If you don't travel much do yourself a favor and get out more. It will enrich your life.

    What is Philosophy?

    Excellent! Too often I have met well educated "technicians" who never addressed the subject. Thusly, they still fall prey to the same unsound arguments that sway the masses. A man who learns the humanities frees himself and, by extension, mankind. Each of the posts I've read on this thread...

    Robin Williams

    It was hard for me to see Robin Williams as an actor. To me, his heart and humanity shown thorough, no matter the role.

    What should we do with newly made Master Masons?

    Very good start Brother. You show wisdom, possibly beyond your years. Take your time and smell the roses. Learn as much as you can about those degrees and continue to build upon your knowledge. Remember, once you take an office you should be committed! Once you reach the SD chair the doors...

    What do you like most about My Freemasonry?

    I have met several dear friends through this website. Brothers I have met personally with and Brothers who enjoy getting together at Grand Lodge, Scottish Rite meetings, and blue lodge meetings here in Houston. I am also proud to have met my fellow eight original Bridge Builders Brothers...

    Advice for a new lodge secretary?

    Don't Bother with that Brother. It's an honest slip of one's own Freudian tongue. :)

    Women Freemasons

    Yeah ... they pic up on that every time your eyes close.

    As the Sun Rises in the East

    So what happens if the SW shudders? Or worse, forgets his line?

    The Sword

    ... from the center to the circumference of the earth.

    Damn Dog

    Yeah! Cool! Did you see Oliver on that second trip? Just wondering what a Junior Past WAG looks like. Anything like a Junior Past SMILE? Just sayin'.
