Very nice.

I've always seen it as Master of in the SMJ and Sublime Prince of in the NMJ. I know a number of the degrees have "alternate titles". I dunno if this is one of 'em.

To that I would say intuition is the only tool you have to measure intention. Specifically the intuition of the investigation committee, but also other brethren as well. My Freemasonry HD

Looks pretty terrible IMO. Cheap crime thriller.

It is important to remember there existed a time before the Hiramic Legend was laid down. I wonder if, back then, they thought of themselves as incomplete before a MM degree ever was. Because somebody in antiquity decided to extend Masonry with the opportunity of attaining light beyond what...

I was talking to a brother the other day and mentioning that some lodges do indeed have non-Christian brethren and may opt to have their VSL (torah, quran, etc) on the altar during degrees and open lodge. I got the most bewildered look like I had just slapped him in the face or something. >.<

The Jews divided their days into 12 hours (and likewise nights). In their custom, mid-day was always the 6th hour (regardless of actual time based on seasons). Sun-rise was then the 0 hour and sun-set was the 12th hour. You see evidence of this when we call from and to labor. Example equinox...

Exactly. Ritual is the means by which we bring a candidate into his next degree and introduce him to the esoteric work of the degree. Instruction is the means by which we teach the brother his work AND (not OR) the meaning behind it all for the degree. Education is beyond the ritual and esoteric...

The references are those who can "vouch" for your character and so forth. In the event, you don't know enough, logically I would say just keep attending when you can and getting to know the members. At some point, surely some members will be comfortable enough around you and know you well enough...

They have the blue slipper stickers for sale at the Dallas SR Cathedral's shop. I picked one up at the reunion this weekend for my wife's car for $1. If you'd like I can grab you one at the day 3.

I've not joined the Commandery yet, but Chapter + Council for me is around $47/yr.

Also as said before, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who agreed that the *image* of the S&C is a closely guarded secret that should be removed from all masonic buildings, fliers, etc. My Freemasonry HD

Either way. Up to your local traditions. I waited until I turned in my proficiency. My Freemasonry HD

I think he is saying WE are being disrespectful for our comments suggesting he should not have gotten the tattoo unless he was a MM? Brethren, think of it this way. WE as Masons, know that you ought to not wear the symbol if you haven't earned it and know the meanings behind it. I believe our...

I've come to find that this is my challenge as well. I have had to take the initiative to prepare and give talks. Even then, time is always conveniently "short" and what gets cut is often the education talk rather than, say, reading the GL communication a little more quickly.

Don't worry about that now.

Man, I'm so sorry to hear that brother. Of course it was due to the carelessness of some workers. :(

Oh man that's an awesome image. I need to check and see if it's in/on my set My Freemasonry HD

Hah that's a great explanation. My Freemasonry HD
