Hah I'd argue that you should always wear clean underwear. ;D Freemason Connect Mobile

pshh, should get some masons together and pay that sucker.

Down here at least, you'd have to wait another month before you heard about the vote on your petition. The first meeting after it's turned it, it is accepted, then during the next month you are investigated, after that, it is read again and voted on. But to answer your question, it depends on...

My advice to you dear friend is to find another lodge. What you experienced is unacceptable behavior, but unfortunately still does happen even in this day and age. You are certainly not alone in what you experienced either to be sure. I always give the advice, "find a lodge which fits you"...

Disgusting that this kind of thing still happens. More so that it happens in our fraternity. Freemason Connect Mobile

Hey, it sounds like you're off to a great start and have a good mental attituted towards Freemasonry. Good luck in your petitioning and welcome to the forum, friend!

Welcome from Texas! Freemason Connect Mobile

Well most major lodge "duties" are already taken care of I'd imagine, although I'm sure they could find something for you if you insist. Honestly, they will probably view you as their guest and not think it proper, lol. I remember when I was petitioning, there was another guy petitioning also...

Hmm well "Dallas area" is like saying "Chicago area", hah. It's huge! Are you moving for work or what? Any particular areas you need to be close to? I'm in Fort Worth (other side of the river), but still DFW. Freemason Connect Mobile

Indeed. Try to calm your mind and relax. This is something you'll wanna remember. Freemason Connect Mobile

Hey allen. Congrats on you first, rewarding step! Well, if you just turned in your petition and the next stated meeting is tomorrow then you may or may not hear something immediately. During the next meeting they will formally accept your petition and assign an investigation committee. You may...

In my lodge, I actually heard it said that we only had one installed so they could get such and such award one year. To my knowledge, out marshal doesn't actually do anything. Kinda sad really. Freemason Connect Mobile

My intention is to get an A at some point, but I've got quite a ways before then. Freemason Connect Mobile

At least in my jurisdiction the process is pretty much the following: Get petition. Fill out and return petition. Lodge will formally accept your petition at the next stated meeting (usually once monthly). Usually at the time accepted, the Worhipful Master will assign an investigation committee...

Turn in your petition sooner rather than later. The lodge will have to formally "accept" your petition at a montly stated meeting, then assign an investigation committee, then will formally vote on your petition the next month's stated meeting (and your initiation following shortly thereafter)...

Right on. I don't know if you're located in Texas or not, but the Grand Lodge of Texas petition does NOT have a spot for Mother's maiden name (and I would think that odd considering that info is frequently used as an online security question, but as said above, this info isn't for malicious...
