    Felony Record

    I beleive that puting the word felnoy in to a regulation has un intended consequences. Unintended consequences are usely bad. when "people" defines words they have in there head something that may or not be what you think it should be. To me it should be on an indivual bases and the judgment...

    Bill_Lins77488, Do you think any of the officers of the GLoT read any of these threads? I would like to think that they listen to the frustrations of new masons and think about them.

    I understand all of that. Its like the Outlaw groups but the problem I am trying to fix is that the GLoT has a problem with EA's and FC's being members of a MC/RC/RA of masions. The EA's and FC's need a since of beloning but the way thing are setup some don't untill a year after potisining. I...

    My Concerns regarding Masonry

    I have not replyed on this thread till now but want to say you are right. Some of the of the people that don't understand what you have just said is because they get cought up in the translation that goes into the word God. Some faiths even have a proabition on using anyother word than what is...

    reasons why fundamentalist aspects of religion need to go

    You still have not got what I have been trying to say. The word Fundamentalist is defind as the foundation or base and not the outer edges. that the early Cathlics thought the sun rotated around the earth is not the doundation. The foundation is they beleive is the son of the living God. The...

    reasons why fundamentalist aspects of religion need to go

    First look at the word fundamentalist know that it is the foundation not the outliers. I see what you are saying but the fundimitals mean the foundation so should we agree to say outliers must go. Also I am still stuck on who are the outliers/fundamentlast that must go and how do we decide who...

    reasons why fundamentalist aspects of religion need to go

    When a statment is made about "Fundamentalist" and the need for them to go. So with out a defintion what need to go. It is to me a foundations which all reality's are built. With out foundations nothing stands and it is amorphous. Even freemasonery starts with a foundation or moral codes...
