I got halfway through the article in question, that was the best I could do. The author claims his metric for political speech "...is where a brother is incapable of stating his own opinion and instead regurgitates the opinions of others." How do you prove an opinion is original or acquired...

A: why are you yelling at us. B: what possible connection to the Northeast Corner does this post have?

Firstly, it is not a quick process to become a Freemason. So joining ASAP will likely not be practical. To begin the process, fond a nearby Lodge and contact them to express interest.

Beat up? People disagreed with your solution to the problem you are having. Sorry you felt that way.

Your points disregard the facts that the material the apron is made of is significant as outlined in our rituals. I cannot comprehend that the cost, roughly $30 per apron for an actual lambskin, would be so expensive as to cause significant hardship on your Lodge. I apologize if your Lodge is...

Not an attack. More friendly chiding since instead of continuing the discussion with the information requested you replied where anyone interested could purchase it from you.

Brother Glen, you should know Brother John won't share research here when he could sell it to Brothers!

Freemasonry in Jordan is complicated as it is in all predominantly Muslim countries. You will want to read the following to get a better understanding. The info on Jordan begins on page 14 and includes who to reach out to if you are still interested...

I think you are completely ignoring the counterpoints being raised. If your Lodge is not willing to make it a priority to provide a PROPER lambskin apron for a deceased Brother to be interred with, then that is a problem. Either in a Lodge's poor financial health, or leadership, or both. Did...

Sorry. I disagree. Symbols are important. In this case, the symbol IS the material the lambskin apron it s constructed of. Maybe I'm just being overly sentimental in insisting a Brother be interred with a proper apron.

Brother, I heartily applaud you for seeing a problem and coming up with a solution to fix it. But I think if I were laid to rest in a vinyl apron that I would definitely return to seriously haunt some people. I can't believe that 5-6 Brothers cannot donate $5 when a Brother passes to see that...

Always liked the white on white. Sharp looking.

The world is changing, and not necessarily for the better. Lodges should seriously consider adding a line item in their budgets for security. A web based camera system at the minimum. Even posted notices that the property is under surveillance would be a good enough deterrent in all but the...

One of my Wisconsin Lodges wears English Craft regalia as well. It is by far my favorite.

If you would like to learn more about Freemasonry then I highly recommend Freemasonry for Dummies by Brother Hodapp. It is an excellent introduction. But dream interpretation isn't really part of our studies. We'll, except for that one dream that one time.

If it weren't for necro threads we wouldn't have anything here these days! LoL

But what are your feelings about the topic of the thread?

This is the number one reason I did not reply. :) Most Lodges have no interest in hearing this answer. If you need to have fundraisers to keep operating, you either need to raise dues appropriately or rid your Lodge of expenses. Like your building. But most Lodges just browbeat Brothers into...

Not a Judeo-Christian concept or idea. As Jews, we have no need of salvation in the Christian sense because we have no concept of original sin to be redeemed from.

Realistically, who has the right to define salvation for another? If a person is an adherent to a particular faith, then there is probably an expectation that they would ascribe to that definition. But, as a non Christian, I can definitely say that the Xtian definition of salvation is no more...
