The Illuminati? They're mostly just paper-pushers...it's the reptilian overlords that really get under my skin. So demanding! :lol:

Anyone remember 50 cent sodas?!

You bring up a good point brother. Perhaps I'll look into it after the masonic year is up.

Didn't they pass the resolution at GL this year that allowed lodges to position their tapers according to the degree they've opened in? If so then I've love to get my hands on some tall wooden tapers as well...except I'd rather they be fitted for candles. We've got a tile floor around the...

Ours is a bit of both as well. We built new chairs for our officers last year and there are several older pieces of furniture that were built and donated before then. Our 'burning' tapers were definitely bought. They're those ugly light bulbs with the S&C in the middle. I don't know where we...

I'm almost 30 and I know that isn't old but I remember cassette tapes, VHS, and rotary phones. I substitute teach a bit here and there and I think it's amusing to see the kids trying to use their cell phones all hours of the day. It's like they're inseparable and I we didn't even have cell...

This isn't about discussing politics, it's about discussing officers of the lodge. I was always taught that there should be no politicking in the lodge. It's always been my opinion that this means that we aren't supposed to try to encourage other brethren to nominate or vote for us. There are...

What helped me learn the questions and answers was to attend as many other degrees as I could. Most the catechism is a step-by-step retracing of the degree, so keep that in mind.

We have a line that's been drawn, we don't allow athiests to join. Beyond that, a man's faith is his own business and I think this is one of the main reasons we don't discuss religion in lodge.

I'll refer back to one of my earlier posts. It was taken care of quickly by someone else with a gun.

Yep. Unfortunately when bad things happen people expect the government to take action to make them feel safe and it turns out the most peaceful thing the government can do is create more laws which can lead to more problems. It's a problem with society and, until we as a society determine what...

I agree, those coats are hideous and the templar uniforms are goofy and expensive. I'd prefer to go cap n' mantle or black aprons. Another big problem I see with Yorkrite is the number of degrees involved. While there aren't as many degrees as their are in SR (if I understand correctly) there...

I see arguments against guns everywhere I look since the incident. The fact is the same day the shooting occurred a man stabbed 20 kids in China with a knife. That tells me that getting rid of guns won't make the problem go away. Part of me thinks things like this happen as a direct result of...

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm no shriner but it sounds as though somewhere along the line there are oaths taken that contradict blue lodge oaths. I probably am misunderstanding though.

Wow...must be something in the water there...

When people ask me if we're trying to take over the world I tell them we don't want to control everything, just the important stuff. :>

This GM really needs to be held accountable for this.

I agree, there appears to be a lot less stars in that trek. I also don't recognize who the villain is supposed to be but I'm also not a huge trekkie on account of Star Wars being better. :45:

Here's a good one: There was once a lodge that had a horrible rat problem. It seemed as though nothing the members did could keep the rats away! They tried traps of all sorts, sprayed and placed poisons, and even hired a few exterminators to no avail...in fact the problem seemed to be getting...

I'll be there.
