    Greetings

    Greetings. What bases have you been stationed at? I'm also in the AF.

    Meaningful Symbol???

    Point within a circle is one of my new favorites after reading "Building Hiram." It really made sense to me when compared to a certain part of the degree when the candidate is brought to light, but I had no idea it was Egyptian. Now another layer will have to be researched. My real favorite is...

    Dallas masons

    A great place to eat is at Twisted Root. Lots of different style hamburgers and I'm pretty sure it was on the Food Network show Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Kind of a hole in the wall place, with a good atmosphere. Not sure of the exact location, I only stopped there once.

    hey

    Close, just moved to Mississippi.

    A single enemy?

    I think there is a lack of discipline and respect in general. I recently watched the SW and JW texting non stop during an EA degree. I was disappointed and embarrassed. That is a moment the candidate will remember for a long time and he deserves the best degree possible, not to mention he paid...

    What does the "Checkered Pavement" Symbolize?

    Bro Coach N, Not sure if you can elaborate more on this forum, but your statement made me think for some time. "At the same time, these rituals are full of purposeful inaccuracies, strategic red herrings and contrived misdirections, designed to reveal only to those who are worthy and to...

    forget-me-not

    From my experience, and this is mainly from being in the military for the last 13 years, I'm more concerned with the amount of countries, groups, and people who would like nothing more than to wipe us off the face of the Earth. The balance between national security and individual freedoms are...

    Hello from California

    Congrats! It's always awesome to hear about a newly raised brother.

    GL of Michigan and the Shrine

    Looks legit from the letter at the bottom of the page that you can view. I've heard grumblings here and there that the Shrine in general has been throwing around the idea of not requiring Masonic affiliation to become a Member, so maybe this won't come as a surprise that both parties did not...

    Getting My Temple Degree Tonight :)

    Congrats Sir Knight. You won't forget this experience. Wish I could be there.

    Do my eyes deceive me?!?!?!?!

    It was a great week. Taking out swamp was fun, but I have my sights set on Recon next week. A little Salt on the wounds. It's Army wrong if he wins.

    Tablets Question

    I like the IPad. I Had a Toshiba Thrive before and hated it. Im also partial to the iPhone, so the IPad was and easy choice to stick with.

    Prince Hall Mason meets Conspiracy Theorist

    Have they claimed to be a part of another Masonic organization, or are they using it as a marketing tool? I noticed Jay Z has a clothing line out with the S&C on it.

    What keeps men in Masonry?

    Masonic Education, brotherhood, or camaraderie between like minded people are non existent in most lodges I have visited or heard of. Those are some of the things I crave in masonry, but have not yet found. I know the lack of masonic education is a major gripe between most new MM. My views...

    "Listen, Son"

    Best thing I have read in a long time. I have a 3 year old son too, and more times than not I forget he is just a little boy.

    Freemasonry and Hermeticism

    Waiting just makes it better. Plus, it's written in a way that makes more sense once you have gone through the first 3 degrees. Trust me, it will mean more if you do. Let me know when the day comes, it will be an interesting conversation when you finish the book. Also, it's an easy read, may...

    Freemasonry and Hermeticism

    After you are raised, check out "The Alchemical Keys to Masonic Ritual" by Timothy Hogan. Great book.

    2011 Proposed Grand Lodge Resolutions

    I probably wasn't clear in my statement, and was trying to water it down. I've seen it be more than just a heads up, "hey, you may want to check out the other Lodges." It's more if a foot stomp, wink wink, we'll call you don't call us situation. Sorry if we are off topic. I forsee this being...

    2011 Proposed Grand Lodge Resolutions

    I look forward to the day this actually becomes a reality, and not just another example of "do as I say, not as I do." I read and hear a lot about how we as Masons should never judge someone based on external qualifications, but I've seen mainstream and PHA both tell potential candidates they...
