Sorry, There are no regular Lodges in UAE for residents here to join. You would have to move to a country that allows Freemasonry.

I think you're in the wrong forum. You resurrected a 5 year old dead thread to post political commentary. And your troll moniker only helps confirm my prediction for a very short stay here for you.

I don't know that discussing it is irrelevant. When there is such a wide inconsistent approach to the pandemic for such a long period it becomes kind of difficult not to wonder. Why are some jurisdictions enacting such draconian measures while others have been pretty much business as usual since...

I saw this interesting opportunity promoted by the Brothers at WCY Podcast. Several of the courses listed so far look like they would be very beneficial to any Mason looking for more Light. I am sure I will be signing up for some when they are available...

The E.C. Lodge I belong to uses a CoR and it is a powerful experience for the new candidate. You can see the effect it has on them afterwards. I wish more US Lodges would bring the practice back. "The Chamber of Reflection: A Revitalized and Misunderstood Masonic Practice" by Roberto Sanchez...

A charming myth but the WWII history of the forget me not pins has zero evidence to back it up and ample evidence to disprove it. But despite the manufactured significance during the war, it has become today an excellent symbol of charity. We should never get used to these distance meetings...

Welcome to the site, unfortunately I believe most of us in the United States only recognize the GLLP/GLRP and not GLUP. But there are members here from many places so that may not be case for everyone here.

Thank you for finding the original article Coach. That was an excellent read. I will be tucking that one in my toolbox. Though I think I liked the article, Seven Blunders of the Masonic World, on page 6 better. What an excellent quote, "Ritual for the sake of tradition is worthless. Ritual for...

Out of curiosity I checked to see what the total is for all four memberships and it only comes to $183 a year. That's only $15.75 a month. It is literally $0.06 more than my Netflix bill! Rocky Mountain Mason: $33 per year The Masonic Society: $45 per year The Philalethes Society: $50 per...

Excellent suggestions, Brother Glen. A member of my Lodge was one of the founding members of The Masonic Society and I was an early member. I let it lapse a while ago, unfortunately. I should rejoin.

The Rocky Mountain Mason is an independent quarterly publication for Freemasons containing articles of interest to Freemasons in general as well as Masonic history, philosophy, esoterica, and current events. https://www.rockymountainmason.com/ https://www.facebook.com/rockymountainmason/ I...

Welcome to the Craft, Brother! I hope your journey as wonderful as mine has been.

Glad to hear Brother! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

An honest assessment of of degree proficiency is important in order to provide the most meaningful experience for the candidate. Find a half dozen Brothers willing to commit to making a degree team for your Lodge. Do something, anything, if it might help inspire change. There are resources out...

The pandemic has provided a good opportunity for Lodges to do an honest self evaluation of their health. What does it cost to keep a building operational for extended periods of time when you aren't allowed to use it? Donwe honestly need a building of our own? Are we looking for ways to make...

I still don't get Masonic bodies that exclude members based on their faith. But I've argued that in the past and I know I won't be changing anyone's minds. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Yeah, I cant access it either but the thumbnail still shows on a Google search. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

The Lodges I have been a member of or visited put out a monthly newsletter, usually called a trestle board. This tells the members when the meetings are and for what purpose. If it is a special communication they usually have an email list or call tree or something similar. Sent from my...
