I am attending the spring Ceremonial at Hella Shrine in Garland tomorrow morning. I don't the change of requirements to get into the shrine doesn't turns it in to a competing group. I feel that SR or YR are good for men who are interested in the learning and scholarship that's in masonry, and...
our lodge received a packet of antimasonic propaganda taped to the door a few months back. I hope this isn't a growing trend. I'm sorry to hear that the small minded have been terrorizing your lodge brother. Keep us posted on the investigation.
I have also gotten the "well, i don't keep anything from YOU" thing a few times. *NOTE* I'm not married. Just dating, but the topic still applies. I've dated a few different girls since I was entered, and there is inevitably a time in the relationship where this question comes up. I usually just...
I'm with you on that one, plustax. If the GL could be making money off of this, perhaps our per capitas could decrease, or AT LEAST we'd have one more avenue of revenue working for us. With all the belt-tightening that's been going on, you'd think that as a state we'd want anything that might...
i'm squarely in the "no" category as well. I felt that my degrees meant more to me BECAUSE of the fact that I had time to absorb the meaning of a single degree at a time.
To be honest, I even feel like I missed out on a lot of the Scottish Rite by being a member of a class (not like you have...
ok... so I didn't think about this until I dropped Quiz I in the mail... I finished all of my reading and quiz I all before my dues card was mailed to me, so I didn't have my member number to put on the info section on the quiz... oops... will this cause an issue?
and one other question...
hahaha Sam smith and henry king. that's how i remembered it too. For me it was definitely the EA degree prof. FC was very quick to learn, I also only took 2 study sessions to learn it. I think it really IS about getting used to the form and not so much about the memorization being that hard...
I receive the 19-32nd on Saturday, so I'll probably send off for my Master Craftsman stuff early in the week following. It sounds like a really good way to get a lot more out of the degree work.
now i'm not sure if Dallas is giving us the pyramid or a wearable ring at this reunion... when they measured me for my hat, they measured me for a ring too. BUT that could be so that all I have to do to buy one is give them my name and the payment. TBH, I would definitely prefer a wearable ring...
yeah, there are annual dues with the SR too, price dependent upon your valley (i believe). I am doing the degrees in this reunion with the Dallas valley. The reunion is over 2 days, 3-5, and 3-12-11, and on the first day we watched 4-18th degrees. The Dallas Valley puts on all 29 Degrees twice a...
I was Initiated, Passed, and Raised in 2009, and have been active in my lodge since... I joined the SR this last weekend (we'll be going from 19-32nd degrees this weekend), and I'm planning on being active in both bodies.
EDIT: totally forgot to put my age when i originally posted.... I'm 25
I'm really enjoying it! It can be a little much to take in, but I'm glad I get to see all 29 full form. I have to say, the 18th was my favorite so far! I look forward to seeing you there, brother.
Tom, that's a good point. In Texas, we "recognize" the Texas Grand Lodge PHA, but we don't have visitation rights (which actually, I disagree with), but the same could be done with legitimate Co-Masonry lodges... BUT how would a MM even find out which lodges of Co-Masonry are legit, and which...
I think Beathard has hit the nail on the head... The truth is that I think *most* women wouldn't be interested anyway. Sure there was a time in every girl's life when she tried to break into the "NO GURLZ ALLOWEDD" meetings in the treehouse... But we're past that, right?
For me, Masonry meant...
