Word is them puppies is partial to acacia too! :001_cool:

That said Brother Anthony, I'll be there tomorrow night for three hours teaching EAs and FCs how to get down the road to that sublime degree. Our lodge has been blessed with 13 new master masons raised since 10-NOV-12. We're on a roll and are going to get these next seven or eight through as...

Neither the EA nor the FC owe dues to the lodge. Neither have the ability to vote. They are not full members of the lodge. They are not aware of all the obligations of a mason. They are not prepared to assume their position in the brotherhood. Like the operatives, they cannot build a strong...

You are correct brother. I don't consider a man a mason until he is raised, understands, and begins living by the obligations he has taken. "Higher" degrees, or to be precise those leading to a more learned mason do not enter into this equation. I do not think a man who shows up for one...

I've often pondered this very question. But, how could a man call himself a mason until after he's taken, understood, and began living by the full obligations?

Yes, freedom of religion was a key concept. Yes, freemasonry appears to be the format used by the constitutionalist when they set up our republic. Rather than Lords and Commons (a purely class structure) we chose Senate and House giving each state the same two votes to prevent those states...

I'm semi-glad you explained that brother. Otherwise ... Well, I just fear that's nomenclature anti-masons have yet to identify.

MOTC: Bring it up for vote. Spell it out. Add it to the Constitution. Kind of quesy over quasi issues. Just my thoughts. Personally, I'd welcome the change were it voted in by Grand Lodge members. Who are Grand Lodge members. That B us brethren, statewide.
