    When did the "decline" start, and are we still in "decline"?

    In regards to the original post, yes we are still in a decline. In my Jurisdiction (Texas), I believe that a significant loss of membership will occur over the next 5-10, not to mention the numerous Lodges that will eventually demise. That being said, it may be a good thing. I've been to a...

    Initiated a few hours ago. Wow!

    Awesome Brother! The MM Degree takes the Craft to another level :) Enjoy Blue Lodge before pursuing any appendant bodies.

    Will no one help?

    In the future, threads such as this will be removed immediately. This isn't the proper venue for Brethren to seek monetary assistance. I have renamed the topic and closed the thread.

    Unity Day

    You Brethren make me proud. This is what Masonry should be about.

    Regarding PHA members

    I would not consider him a Brother. If any Brother knows how to defend the light, it would be a legitimate PH Brother.

    Establish Lodge in Iraq

    To the original poster, do you mean a Lodge for military officers or for those who are citizens of Iraq? As far as a military Lodge, most are Prince Hall, but creating something like a Grand Lodge of Iraq would probably be extremely difficult. Hopefully one day.

    A gentle stroke of the the left wrist from a master mason. What does it mean??

    I agree and disagree. I know the usual spiel that nothing is higher than a MM, but in my personal experience, the knowledge you gain through the appendant bodies takes what you learned in Blue Lodge to a whole new level. In my neck of the woods, joining Blue Lodge is pretty much a guarantee...

    I'm free.......kinda!

    S4 is very nice and I think you have the best combo. I have the HTC ONE with an iPad and couldn't be happier. The flexibility of an Android handset and the quality tablet apps of the iPad = win win.

    A brother in financial stress

    Thoughts and prayers for him. Unfortunately there are a lot of Brothers hurting right now.

    Brother John Coustos, A Most Worthy Freemason

    Most Freemasons have probably never heard of Brother John Coustos, and that is not altogether surprising. Born almost 300 years ago in Switzerland, he was a quiet, simple, and unassuming man. He was not a captain of industry, a member of royalty or a great political leader. Brother Coustos was...

    Petition for Joint Recognition and Visitation

    I'd like to know what the deal is. I've personally contacted BOTH Grand Masters of Texas, and neither will respond. I guess both are content living in a world we where recognize each other as regular Masons, but heaven forbid we actually sit in Lodge and labor together.

    The big pink elephant in the room...

    Jumping in late to the discussion. I believe there is racism on both sides, or at least a sense of mistrust in legitimate PHA organizations. As far as clandestine lodges, they are problems we all face.
