Anyone else having the issue of TapaTalk constantly unfollowing this forum? It is doing it on both TapaTalk and Tapatalk Pro. Annoying. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Tennessee wears blue aprons. And as of last year you can now call them Brother. Well done. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

You just know it is going to be how to join Freemasonry in Jordan or UAE. :)

I picked up a bunch of small stoppered vials to try recreating some of these. I thought the little pouch idea was neat when I saw it.

Tragic loss for the artifacts but thankfully nobody was injured.

So anti-vaxers have been demonstrating outside the Masonic halls because they think the Freemasons created the virus. Well that's a new one. I wish we were that organized!

So I have got really into 3D printing the last year and a half or so. I dabble in making my own 3D models, though I am not as good as I would like at Fusion 360 yet, so I am always on the hunt for good .stl files to download. I came across one today that gave me a chuckle. It's a Corona Pasty...

Yeah, I know why people do it and I can empathize. I know I've regretted posts made in the heat of the moment! Freemasons can be a contentious lot for sure.

Some interesting finds on Amazon this week. Two books that compile reprints of classical work on those subjects from the winding staircase we were instructed to devote our time to. Trivium: The Classical Liberal Arts of Grammar, Logic, & Rhetoric (Wooden Books) Hardcover – Illustrated, October...

Nuking a post is rude. Either own your words or take a deep breath before posting.

I'd be happy to. I just recently finished "The Craft: How the Freemasons Made the Modern World" by John Dickie and it was a very interesting read., "The Lost Keys of Freemasonry" by Manly P. Hall "American Freemasons: Three Centuries of Building Communities" by Mark Tabbart "The Craft and...

I think you're wasting your breath. The OP made one post on the forum six months ago to vent about her interactions with some Freemasons she met and to lament that she can't join. I doubt she was looking for advice on how to help her friend research the Craft or that she has even returned to...

It was Long Island and they were Regular Masons initiating a new member into their Craftsman's Club. Not a Craft ritual.

1 book in 25 years? Weird flex, but ok. I have a rather nice library with many of the Masonic books in my collections obtained from estate sales or auctions and not a few from garage sales.

Unless things have changed, there are no Regular Masonic Lodges in the UAE outside of those established on Western military bases and you would need to have access to those bases to join or attend those lodges. Most Arab countries have made Freemasonry illegal or heavily suppress its activities...

Finding out you joined a clandestine organization and then doubling down on its legitimacy. You will likely not find many supporters in a forum mostly full of regular mainstream and PHA Brothers. Not saying you won't find any sympathetic ears. We're not trying to be rude, but your arguments will...

Wonder if we will get the rest of the story because there seems to be much more going on under the surface here.

Learn the work. Learn it so that it is second nature. Poor ritual is one of the number one things that destroys the experience for a candidate. There are lots of resource on the web if you search for memorizing masonic ritual. Here is one to get you going. Good luck and welcome to the Craft.

I found a doc that lists the requirements for Warden and list the Past Master Degree as one of them but I didn't see anything that said it was the VPM degree from the Royal Arch. Maybe they confer the actual PM Degree on their Wardens before they take their chairs?

So it's the VPM degree from the RA. Interesting. I've never seen that as a requirement for a chair in a Craft Lodge in the US. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
