Unless one really digs the opening exchange between all the officers, you only need 7 to open a lodge. Someone, preferably an officer that has no lines in the opening or closing, should stay with candidates in waiting. I was told that we actually had someone who walked out. His contact in the...

"since the prep room will without a doubt" should read as "since the CoR will without a doubt..." p.s. Is the lack of an edit button intentional?

Before becoming a Freemason, a man will be looking at symbols that have zero masonic meaning to them as they are not yet taught the meaning behind anything that could be in that room. It kind of goes against the "dispel any preconceived notions," portion of what a non mason is told since the...

Edited: Not sure if that is what you were speaking of...

This is as good as I can get with a "waybackwhen" search of masonsoftexas.com

Here is another take on it. Grand could be used in the same sense as "grandfather." The first, most important or principal... So Most Worshipful would be an adjective modifying an idea and not an actual place or setting.

served with a trowel no less!

Mainstream New Jersey runs with, "Most Ancient and Honorable Society of Free and Accepted Masons...,"

That was what I was driving at. Lodges must open and close face to face but fellowship can be enjoyed on-line with those you know to be regular Master Masons.

I cannot help, but I wish you luck. Please keep us up to date.

The only place I see virtual lodges acceptable is something like the internet lodge the UGLE has. You must be a MM in good standing belonging to a lodge that is recognized... In fact, I believe some of the Brothers here are members of said Lodge. http://internet.lodge.org.uk/

dispel any preconceived notions you may have about the degrees of Freemasonry. Do not read anything that may otherwise hint at the Degree. It will be different and you will be concentrating on the wrong things. There is a reason you are prepared in a certain manner. Part of it is to get you to...

I never understood how you can get to lodge but have no time to change. Our meetings are scheduled. If one shows up in work clothes then they made the conscious thought that they intend to go to lodge. So, since having due notice, pack a suit and put in in the car or if in Texas, the truck...

I wonder, did they change the wages of a MM to be Corn, Odouls and oil?

Park some fire trucks, big rigs and otber various large vehicles in a parking lot. Kids love it. My 16 month old loves school buses. He would probably go crazy in a school bus garage and I would donate 5 dollars to see his face.

Cigar Night, St. Patricks Dinner with authentic bag pipers. We have a pro wrestling night coming up. Numbered Calendar sales. First monday of the month we pull numbers for the calendars and pay out to whomever won. (We are allowed to do this in NJ so long as we meet the local law requirements...

First off, congratz. I am curious though, how does this work? If a degree is cancelled it has to wait until the next business meeting unless you have dispensation from GL to open as an emergent communication. We are not allowed to open the lodge without dispensation period. Unless your...

I think we need to circumscribe ourselves, have the weekend and come back fresh. While the education is great, it sometimes gets buried in the voice of the reader instead of the voice of the writer. Well thought out replies can be misinterpreted and the thread goes to the moon...:29:

Should I link to YT to the trololol vid to cap this off?

I read this as well and sadly I think that if I read this in Lodge some of the Brethren might take offense because this is why they joined...
