By application fee, I rather think he means "degree fee". Each degree costs money. It costs nothing to petition (in most if not all, states) Freemason Connect Mobile

I doubt it would be taken offensively Freemason Connect Mobile

Well, i wasn't really counting the super excellent master for council (so 6 degrees). Anyway, I was only referring to the 2 council degrees. Lol, I'm actually opposite. Once I had time to go back and study the degrees, I actually feel like I like council degrees MORE than chapter (w/the...

No idea. In tx commandery membership is predicated on both chapter and council membership. Gosh, given how few council degrees there are an the low dues, I can't see a reason to skip it. Plus I love the royal master degree. Freemason Connect Mobile

Well M&D isn't exactly the end all be all masonic book some make it out to be. It's a great journey into theosophical learning. Firstly, as far as the first three degrees go, they're the Scottish Rite three degrees, rather than the (similar, but not same) York Rite ones which are practiced in...

I believe the only time required is the time it takes to give back the MM proficiency. I was raised in feb and participated in the march SR reunion to get in before the price doubled. Freemason Connect Mobile

Hmm, shouldn't be too hard. rather than publishing a full blown app, just write a web app that behaves like a mobile app. It shouldn't be terribly difficult to extrapolate street addresses and launch whatever local map program is on the device showing the location. Meeting hours might be harder...

congrats (future) bro!

Not particularly. - They are both fraternal organizations. - The skull is used in passing in a few parts of masonry, but is not a primary or even secodary recognizable symbol and the S&B it is their primary hallmark. - There is an air of secrecy about both, but in different contexts. - Both use...

I saw the initials RAM and thought the real word was gonna be "Baa"! ;D I knew the goat talk would come full circle, lol. The Royal Arch Mason degree would be the 7th degree of the York Rite. Elsewhere it is done differently, but that is how it is in the US.

I don't want to diverge the topic, but food for thought: man can you imagine if we had to someday address transgender as well? :/ What a mind frag that would be, hah. Freemason Connect Mobile

I wouldn't sell the Scottish Rite short. Most reunions when ALL the degrees are done properly will still take a 2-3 days. Granted that's still a lot of degrees in a short time, but the SR degrees are VERY meaty and can easily give two lifetimes of study and contemplation. I love YR as well, but...

First, congrats on a good first step to joining the Craft. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and all... Every state is different, but usually a felony on your record (or any crime of moral turpitude) will disqualify you. You say isn't serious, so you should be ok. Masonry...

Saying a prayer for y'all now. Freemason Connect Mobile

Committee on Work, certificate Forums and Exams, and schools of instruction are *supposed* to keep that from happening and ritual work on track. Supposed to at least. ;)

Yeah, I'm wanting a non POD copy of all my masonic texts and most of what amazon has is POD (print on demand). A lot of my collection is for collector or reference only. I'm already mostly prepped' for my B cert now.

I don't recommend Coils or Royal Arch for you yet. Coils and likewise Mackey's are laid out just like an encyclopedia, word by word. It's more of a reference than anything. You are a ways off from the Royal Arch, so I'd just avoid that one for now as well. I'm not familiar w/ Freemason Guid and...

I find it a very good read and insightful to the ritual history. I've got a copy of Look to the East ritual book and am waiting on my Lightfoot monitor. I'd love to find a Duncan ritual book in original printed form for my collection. Look to the East is a plain english ritual book from some...

I think I've finally located a suitable 2 volume (rather than the separated 3 volume) set of Legenda XXXII [A]-B and Readings XXXII in good conditions. My understanding is that these books have been out of print for quite some time (decades) even though the AASR SJ has the others in reprint...

Bro jjones does point out the obvious. Have you asked him why he is opposed? Freemason Connect Mobile
