    The new web face of The Grand Lodge of Texas

    Great points, Brother! We're working with the Grand Orator and Education Committee to do just that. Keep an eye out for monthly updates. We're also working on the other manuals, and some additional forms.

    The new web face of The Grand Lodge of Texas

    Thanks for the kind words Brother. The gallery is a separate system, and we will be re-skinning it soon. We will also be moving image content to flickr, which has more robust integration. The site is based on Drupal.

    GLOT website has been hacked.

    We get an inordinate amount of SPAM on the GLoT website, and this is comment SPAM. We use captcha, and are looking at recaptcha. We utilize other methods of restricting source addresses, including iptables and the like. We have several layers, but sometimes SPAM still makes it through. We...

    One thing I've learned about being W.M.

    We talked aout some of these ideas in a thread that Brother Benton started awhile back. http://www.masonsoftexas.com/general-freemasonry-discussion/15541-moving-through-chairs.html I think it comes down to communications and planning.

    One thing I've learned about being W.M.

    Ouch. I think Bro. Jones was looking for advice on how to provide sufficient motivation to keep all Officers engaged without using the gavel too heavily. Motivation and obligation are two seperate things.

    Addressing the Issues

    I picked up a copy of the Budget at GL last year. I have it in my files somewhere; I'll see if I can find it, and then see if there's anything glaringly obvious. To their credit, they did stop publishing the Teas Masons magazine, and opted for electronic only. So, I think they're trying. I then...

    My Concerns regarding Masonry

    Your point was and is valid, Bro. I was just giving it more umph! :beer:

    My Concerns regarding Masonry

    Brother Wilson is correct about your personal beliefs not coming under attack. In Texas however, it's actually a written rule. It's against the law to discuss partisan politics and sectarian religion in Lodge. These topics divide, and typically do not promote peace and harmony. "Masonry goes...

    Morals and Dogma

    Well, I respectfully disagree with this perspective, but I still think you should hold off on further Masonic reading until after you've been initiated.

    What would you do?

    1. Invoke the aid of Diety. 2. Surround myself with people smarter than me. 3. Ask Blue Lodges what they need from their GL. 4. Act
