Catechism is often waived for a Mason at Sight. But I think the specific procedures can vary by jurisdiction. Though I confess I have never met one. https://scottishritenmj.org/blog/mason-at-sight

The only thing he actually exposed was how horrible we are at guarding the West Gate. How much of this would have been avoided had the investigation committee done their due diligence or if more Lodges had a suitable period before a petition can be entered where the Lodge gets to know them and...

That looks fun. Especially since I am a hop, skip, and a turnpike away in Maine now.

Who doesn't like seeing words like corruption investigation associated with a new Brother?

I got halfway through the article in question, that was the best I could do. The author claims his metric for political speech "...is where a brother is incapable of stating his own opinion and instead regurgitates the opinions of others." How do you prove an opinion is original or acquired...

A: why are you yelling at us. B: what possible connection to the Northeast Corner does this post have?

Firstly, it is not a quick process to become a Freemason. So joining ASAP will likely not be practical. To begin the process, fond a nearby Lodge and contact them to express interest.

Beat up? People disagreed with your solution to the problem you are having. Sorry you felt that way.

Your points disregard the facts that the material the apron is made of is significant as outlined in our rituals. I cannot comprehend that the cost, roughly $30 per apron for an actual lambskin, would be so expensive as to cause significant hardship on your Lodge. I apologize if your Lodge is...

Not an attack. More friendly chiding since instead of continuing the discussion with the information requested you replied where anyone interested could purchase it from you.

Brother Glen, you should know Brother John won't share research here when he could sell it to Brothers!

Freemasonry in Jordan is complicated as it is in all predominantly Muslim countries. You will want to read the following to get a better understanding. The info on Jordan begins on page 14 and includes who to reach out to if you are still interested...

I think you are completely ignoring the counterpoints being raised. If your Lodge is not willing to make it a priority to provide a PROPER lambskin apron for a deceased Brother to be interred with, then that is a problem. Either in a Lodge's poor financial health, or leadership, or both. Did...

Sorry. I disagree. Symbols are important. In this case, the symbol IS the material the lambskin apron it s constructed of. Maybe I'm just being overly sentimental in insisting a Brother be interred with a proper apron.

Brother, I heartily applaud you for seeing a problem and coming up with a solution to fix it. But I think if I were laid to rest in a vinyl apron that I would definitely return to seriously haunt some people. I can't believe that 5-6 Brothers cannot donate $5 when a Brother passes to see that...

Always liked the white on white. Sharp looking.

The world is changing, and not necessarily for the better. Lodges should seriously consider adding a line item in their budgets for security. A web based camera system at the minimum. Even posted notices that the property is under surveillance would be a good enough deterrent in all but the...

One of my Wisconsin Lodges wears English Craft regalia as well. It is by far my favorite.

If you would like to learn more about Freemasonry then I highly recommend Freemasonry for Dummies by Brother Hodapp. It is an excellent introduction. But dream interpretation isn't really part of our studies. We'll, except for that one dream that one time.

If it weren't for necro threads we wouldn't have anything here these days! LoL
