If you dig around the forums there are some threads that go into the details. Seems like the last big discussion was about a year or a year and a half ago.

Weird.... I just posted a book review for."The Red Triangle: A History of Anti-Masonry" that studies this exact issue (among others). Freaky timing....

When I was raised here in Texas there was a group called something like "Young Masons" for Masons under 40. That was 13 years ago and I have no idea what happened to the group, but the idea did work at least once in the history of Texas Masonry. Maybe some of the brethren here know what...

Blue Bonnet York Rite Chapter #470 is hosting presentation on the Texas Masonic Retirement Center (TMRC) on Thursday, June 21, 2012 at Charles W. Andersen Lodge. V.E. Comp. Bob Waters will visit Blue Bonnet Chapter (Charles W. Andersen Lodge) and provide a presentation on the Grand Royal Arch...

San Antonio York Rite Chapter #381 is celebrating their 160th anniversary on Saturday, June 23rd at the Scottish Rite. This is going to be an outstanding celebration of York Rite Masonry in the San Antonio area as well as a celebration of our companions and their place in Texas Royal Arch...

A good start would be to find a lodge near you and drop in to say hi when you see cars there. Tell one of the brothers you're interested in masonry and have some questions. They should take it from there. A lot of lodges "open" at 7 or 7:30, so try to stop in if you see cars there around 6:30...

Brother Tim, I apologize for the brevity of my first reply (the keyboard on a Kindle Fire is NOT user friendly), but I wanted to congratulate you on continuing your Masonic journey! I think you will enjoy your degree work and I am an advocate of doing the degrees individually as you are. There...

"Tell Me More About the Mark Degree" by Rev'd Neville Barker Cryer. I have a review posted in the Research forum and you can get it on Amazon.com

Charles W. Andersen lodge is kinda close to you. Kelly Lodge- which meets at the Alzafar Shrine- might work as well- at least distance-wise. Lots of lodges in and around San Antonio. There may be a few other lodges near you, but those are the ones I'm most familiar with.

Do the MRI Bro. Blake.... just a suggestion, but its a good idea....

Is this a test???

Request a Certificate of Good Standing from your Secretary at your home lodge. Then petition your new lodge for "Afiliation by Certificate of Good Standing" (I think that's the term). You'll have to pay the dues (probably pro-rated) for your new lodge. You should visit your prospective new...

It was an "excellent" night in Masonry as the Royal Arch Degree Team from Helotes York Rite exhalted three new Companions! Approximately 20 companions (the degree team plus companions on the sideline) attended the degree and welcomed our new companions at the end of the degree. Congratulations...

Dues generally are not tax deductible because you receive something (the benefits of your membership) in return for them. Dues I believe are considered a puchase, not a donation. You might double check with a CPA....

Awesome. The best place to hide something- like a super-secret, hush hush, worldwide conspiracy- is right out in the open....

Congrats Brother!

Lmao

Is Charlie Rangel a Mason? Or was he a guest speaker?

The conference is similar to the Grand Master's conferences that are held in various locations. The presiding grand officers - Grand High Priest, Grand Master (Council), and Grand Commander along with various elected grand Chapter/Council/Commandery officers host an open communication session...
