When I was in the East at one of my lodges I had to ask a Brother to stop walking around the lodge room during degrees and telling brethren their next line. REALLY! Yes ... I was kind of surprised that no WM had thought about it before.

Absolutely not! Not only would she see "The Big Board"*, she'd find out that I could WASH DISHES and COOK! "Doctor Strangelove, Or, How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Levelhead, you could just feel bad about laughing so hard. I know I could.

Good work Brother Blake. Much appreciated.

How about "All the Credit in the World."

Yep! They're sure to try to water this one down. Most unfortunately, in more ways than one! Pray brethren ... for another Enlightenment!

That's an interesting and, might I say ... rather LOADED response. Considering what is done in the name of the Deity these days; a rather loaded statement indeed. My favorite Brother Pryor movie was The Toy. Much of it was filmed on location in Baton Rouge. A great mind who carried comedy to...

Truly a remarkable mason. Brother James Fort Newton was a prolific author and contributed much thought and discussion to the craft. If you have not sat down with one of his books I do so challenge you. Let me know if you can just read a few pages and put it down. I've never been that...

I think it is an excellent idea! Both years I was in the East I asked the JW to read the ancient charges, then challenged each member of the particular lodge to challenge their beliefs and thoughts over the next few days of each charge presented. Not surprisingly, there was much personal...

I would love to know of lodges in the Old Delhi area. Once retired, my wife and I wish to travel to the region with my niece who still has family in the area. There is much to learn there for us in the Occidental World. The great civilizations of India and China should never be overlooked...

I, too, have always had a problem with the obvious interpretation of "free born." Rather that he who is born into servitude, I would rather not be associated with he who owns another person. However, I like the deeper interpretation Doc has offered. "Freeborn" people who are not inhibited...

Yes. Individually by degree or in mass, building one degree upon another. It takes practice, but not as much as living the obligation. That's the real work for a mere mortal.

Careful Brethren. We might all still be burned at the stake!

Thank you Brother Marcus for the enlightenment. I had no objections before your words of enlightenment. I have none now. May the GAOTU bless and keep us all. We must always remember that we truly meet upon the level and part upon the square.

Not sure. But pick up a copy of their degrees if possible. They are different than that of Pike and the Charleston Jurisdiction. I enjoyed them very much. They apparently re-write several of the degrees from time to time. On Bridge to Light. Yes, it is a good forward to Morals and Dogma...

Totally enjoyed the experience. It is gratifying to be the installing officer of one of your own candidates. After two stated meeting, our new WM is doing a splendid job and knows his openings and closing well. And, thank the GAOTU, he's got a heart of gold that shines from that station in...
