I am in Seabrook, TX. I have a really good friend that is out of the Forest Lodge up there.

I am the first Freemason on either side of my family as far as i have been able to find out.

Are there any Brothers here that are into Recreational, Live aboard, or full time cruising? Describe your vessels and experiences. I am just getting into sailing and I'm interested in buying a sailboat to live on and one day cruise full time.

I use an App called "Traveler US". It seems to work great.

Sure it matters. We are the oldest Fraternal organization in the world. I know that there were women in and around Masonry throughout history. However, these were isolated incidents. There is a big difference when we start allowing it for any woman. You don't see sororities opening there doors...

Thank You!!! This is a fraternity!! I am amazed sometimes how often we consider totaly turning Masonry into something different in an attempt to gain membership.

Okay, I know nothing of the Prince Hall Masons work because I am not allowed to have masonic communications with them. Therefore, how do I know if they are a true and worthy brother if I have no clue as to what they're working? Now I understand the different states and got different work. I have...

Thank you very much for this post. I admit, I was very worried at first about asking thiese questions publicly. Then I thought, "Hey these are my brothers and we are all held to the same obligations." I am so glad that this post has not caused brothers to be angry with one another. We need to...

owls84, I did not ask the questions to cause strife between brothers. I am looking for education. I did read what you posted. However, there are many writings on this subject that contradict each other there by causing the confusion that we are faced with today. My problem is: If the Prince Hall...

Please don't forget to read the origonal post. If the Prince Hall Masons are Regular Masons then why are they not just Freemasons? Why were they ever a seperate organization?

I really cant say that I know the answer to that question for sure. However, he lived near the time of the abolition of slavery. He spoke english and was educated. Since slavery went on for generations I tend to believe that he was born a slave. This does merit further investigation though and I...

Yes there are many differences in work between the states. I have worked in the majority of the lower 48 states and even had my FC confered in Indiana. However, I have a friend who was guard in the Texas penal system. There was two prisoners who continually talked to him in some obscure way that...

I would like to begin this by assuring everyone that these are MY thoughts and beliefs and I do not intend to disrespect anyone by stating these beliefs. I write this asking for my Brothers thoughts concerning my ideals in order to be sure that in arriving at these ideals, I haven't missed...

Ok got em. I like them but I haven't found any that I think are nice looking enough for the WM and Wardens stations

I can't find a think about them. ---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ---------- That is the splinters flying off every time our ancient gavels strike. Lol

Thanks for your insight. I can see this is a fairly interesting subject. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there, which is why I love this site. It allows me to receive instruction and guidance from my brothers. Thank you all. Any more opinions?
