I'll add to what Mike said. A Master Mason can easily move to different Lodges or Jurisdictions. An Entered Apprentice is still tied to the Lodge where they began their journey. There are options to continue your progress, but they all begin with first contacting your home Lodge in OKC and...
I'm sorry you are not getting any responses. Sadly, there is no "normal" the last year and many jurisdictions aren't meeting at all or under heavy restrictions. If your buddy you listed is a Brother of that Lodge, maybe he can reach out to the WM. Also, if you submitted three months ago...
To clarify, I am NOT qualified to speak on the matter of PHA! Typing on my phone and accidentally made it look like i have an expertise that I absolutely do not. :D

Are you referring to the State PHA or the numerous ones that are questionable. The various PHA groups is a very confusing situation and one I am definitely qualified to speak on.

Freemasons suffer from the same prejudices all humans do. We're raised (literally) in a specific group where our thought patterns are cemented as to what is right or wrong. By the time we are exposed to other streams of thought we are already taught to look at it through the lens of "my way is...
You want black and white, clearly defined and universal definitions in an organization that was spreading via autonomous branches for who knows how long before even the first GL was formed. Good luck with that!

We cannot help you in any way. There is no regular recognized Freemasonry in your country. Further, several of your posts raise serious concerns about your legitimacy, that you just wanted a job or a laptop or the Lodge there took your ID. There is no help you can get on this forum.
I just received my email that new book club is taking preorders for the first volume in the new club! Looking forward to it.

We can try to answer your questions here but you cannot join Freemasonry through this forum. If you are in Malaysia, you need to contact the District Grand Lodge of Eastern Archipelago.

Good luck on your journey.
I think your analogy is suspect since the VFW requires a membership as well and as far as know most of those posts have implemented a mask mandate. But I get your point, if the GM says to wear a mask, then we as Masons are obligated (literally) to follow his instructions and wear a mask. But I...
I think it depends on where you live and what the prevailing attitude in that area is towards the pandemic. Here in Florida everything is mostly open and people are getting on with their lives and not stressing over a virus with a 98.5% recovery rate. Especially with a vaccine being rolled...
Benjamin Franklin Lodge #83 in the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin is the only Lodge in the Jurisdiction currently authorized to operate as an EC Lodge working in the Emulation Rite.

For us it is mostly found in jewelry and such. Since we meet old style without an official lodge building, rather on the upper floor of a private dinner club, we don't have any of the normal trappings you see around lodges today. For any ritual items used during meetings or degrees, we use what...
