Re: Do you consider others from unchartered lodges It depends. In my jurisdiction some Masons consider Prince Hall clandestine. Personally I consider them brothers... "Step-brothers"... "Half brothers" ... "Brothers disowned by our dysfunctional father" but Brothers nonetheless. I would not...

Agreed. In FL, you get a cypher with the EA catechism after your EA, a cypher with the FC catechism after your FC and only the complete cypher after your MM. Nevertheless, I find that the cyphers can mess people up more than it helps. It's really only useful for tweaking what you already know...

Agreed, Brother. No parish in the US is going to kick you out or deny you Communion because you're a Mason. Just don't advertise it at church. It's none of your pastor's business what you do outside of mass. Freemason Connect HD

I don't think the article/quote is suggesting that a knight may not send his children to a private school or that private schools are bad. It is saying that he supports the existence of public schools so that even the poorest children have access to a basic education... A cause the Freemasonry...

I haven't filled out my profile on this site yet. I petitioned in July 2012. Initiated in October, passed in April 2013, raised this May. Lantana #372, FL. I can post a pic of my dues card, if you like. I agree with you about "reading ahead." I've only read what was recommended to me by the...

Place a donation plate or jar prominently with a sign indicating that it goes towards The food. In my Lodge our donation plate says "$10 suggested." Some give only $5. Some don't give any but that's ok. Whatever you collection should go towards the cost of food. If you still can't cover The...

I'm sorry for your loss. Your father will always be with you... a part of you. You will make him proud. Freemason Connect Mobile

I think most Masons are on the same quest. Some follow the traditional religion in which they were raised. Some study Kabbalah, Zen, Hermeticism or other mystic paths. Others find their path through religious conversion but we are all asking, "Who is my Creator?" "How can I be closet to my...

"Spirit of Masonry" by William Hutchinson was lent to me by my Lodge's secretary when I petitioned. It's not easy reading, the book is 300 years old but it's amazing. If you're interested in the more mystical side, "Lost Keys Of Freemasonry" by Manly P. Hall is good. "Born in Blood" is very...

Whatever he said doesn't apply to American mainstream Freemasonry. Freemason Connect Mobile

Masons are far from "Satanic." We come from all different religions but we all believe that we are serving the same Creator, just in different ways. Religious leaders who hate freedom of thought like to accuse us of "devil-worship" because we tend to encourage men to think for themselved and...

If what you call "Satanism" is a faith that inspires you to live a moral life and imstructs you to practice brotherly love and to treat everyone fairly then there is no conflict. If "Satanism" is a religion that instructs you to live an amoral life focused on personal interest then you do not...
