If potential brothers are not coming to you and knocking on the door asking to join, the problem isn't whether you can ask someone to join or not. It is because they do not see anything interesting enough to them that makes them cross the street. Fix that and you will never have to go beat the...

Which is exactly what Data Driven Masonry is doing by making an inference using incomplete data. You're proving my point.

The fact that they use the numbers from the post war peaks as their base line instead of going further back shows evidence that their data is already flawed. When you show all the data, not some, the peaks are shown as outliers. There are too many unique events that have a large impact on...

The peak numbers after WWI and WWII were aberrations. Masons looking at those numbers as the ideal are obviously going to see a grim picture for our future. This Chicken Little effect is further exacerbated by so many grand lodges trying everything they can for decades to get their membership...

By that logic, we should also admit rapists, murderers and pedophiles since they also fall within the boundaries you have listed. Transmitted via R5 astromech using Tapatalk Galactic

Good morning. I have to ask, what information are you trying to disseminate to the Brothers and how has your GL been unhelpful? No need to out your particular GL, I'm just curious since it seems you came here with a particular purpose in mind. Transmitted via R5 astromech using Tapatalk Galactic

I wish you luck but it is difficult to find Masons in predominantly Muslim countries. http://freemasonsfordummies.blogspot.com/2017/05/jordan-and-endless-resurrection-of.html?m=1 Transmitted via R5 astromech using Tapatalk Galactic

The number one book I recommend Freemasons for Dummies. It is written by a Brother and provides an excellent overview without spoiling anything for the prospective candidate...

I was only giving a short explanation of the origin of the terms as used here in the United States and how they relate to visitation for the OP. Volumes could be written on chartering irregularities as both the Antients and Moderns chartered new Lodges in areas subsequently covered by a single...

Short answer, it only has to do with whether your GL was originally chartered by the Antients or by the Moderns. Today, I have seen it has little bearing on the day to day and in the US has nothing to do with visitation as I believe all GL are in amity. Unless you are visiting between MS and PH...

GL of Wisconsin is doing the same. Maybe that is one practice that will continue after the pandemic as more jurisdictions see the benefits of doing business on the EA degree. Transmitted via R5 astromech using Tapatalk Galactic

First, there is no higher degree than a 3rd Degree Master Mason. It is a misnomer that the 32nd is a "higher" degree. Second, easy or hard to attain is subjective. Some jurisdictions rush a person through the degrees while others take longer with more requirements. Each area unique. What is...

Start here. https://www.freemason.com/how-to-join/#:~:text=If%20you%20already%20live%20in,to%20read%20and%20write%20English There is a link to get in touch with local Masons. Feel free to read around this forum and ask questions. Many Brothers here will be happy to answer any we can.

That's a very nice ring with an interesting history. If you want to wear it and honor your grandfather, have you considered earning the right to proudly wear it as a 32nd degree Mason yourself?

I was fortunate to find the Craft in my 20's in a good Lodge that got me active early. Now I'm only in my late 40's and already with over 20 years in the Order, a PM, multiple appendent bodies, founded an EC Lodge and made countless lifelong friends among my Brothers. And I feel like I am just...

Meditation is not a stand alone course by itself, rather it is part of the lessons that begin with the first course everyone starts with, "7 Steps to Practical Occultism".
