I'm still, okay just now, standing. :confused1: Let's all get through this thing and hope for a great spring.:001_smile: After all, the sun's already started it's comeback.:biggrin: No, I still don't like baseball! :blush: se la vie!

No question is a bad question brother! The courage to ask what others dare not is commendable. I solute you.

I believe you found that Anderson's change in the written constitution from the religion of the country of residence to that religion agreed to by all good men of faith created a stir in the lodges of the time. Many refused to join the fraternity (some even opting to go clandestine) for some...

Unless they are willing to explore their faith. How much stronger are the beliefs of someone who has taken the time to check the facts and find their beliefs, after honest examination, were indeed factual? But you are right my brother, so very few are strong enough to even try.

You don't suppose he had a premonition do you! And then, of course, an appointment at the local tattoo parlor. :001_unsure:

Ghee! Do you think we're back to the lessons not always learned? Let's think here ... oh yes. It goes something like this. "that it is the internal and not the external qualifications" When will we ever learn, When will we ever learn.

As long as you take into account the activity of pack rats, erosion, and thieves through the ages. I had a professor years ago who criticized many of his fellows, saying they liked to go out, mark off a grid, and go at it with front-end loaders. Often you had to check the booster stickers on...

Origins? Or, rather, interpretations? It is human nature to affix truths to that which we do not understand. Fear, prejudice, and ignorance reign supreme in all human emotions. What more fertile ground than religion? Think long and hard of these traits. Then tell me who is qualified to...

I think Mel Brooks said it best. "It's nice to be king." :39:

Payback time! You haven't enjoyed anything yet. Grab the next initiate and start teaching him his esoteric work. Remember, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with what you know, but what he learns and comprehends. Find out how he learns and teach him that way. Make very sure YOU know what it...

Expose them. Let them talk and hang themselves. It worked on "Tail-gunner Joe McCarthy" and it'll work on these zealots. Remember the old saying: You can fool all of the people some of the time Some of the people all of the time But you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. The...

It's a date brother! I have another 18 months in the East myself. Much is now on hold from this vantage point as well.

Good observation brother.

I, too, was uncomfortable with the three patches. So far as I know, the only time masons in Texas were allowed to ware EA and FC recognition was during the 2007 year of Right Worshipful Donny Broughton. I was lucky enough to have the Grand Master himself pin both on my lapel during two of his...

So Mote it Be!

No, crooks have also been known to obtain the presidency! Pick a party, current or past, and there's a crook in the old woodpile somewhere. No, too many "famous masons" of late were made masons on site without going back and learning their esoteric work. Hats off to Brother Shaquille O'Neil...

I, too, was at that session of Grand Lodge and concur with Brother Megason's remembrance. Since that time there has been little tolerance, right or wrong, for masonic motorcycle groups. Question, can a brother motorcycle enthusiast purchase a masonic Texas license plate for his motorcycle...

I'd like to say "Barely covered, but covered indeed." I'd also like to say, from this corner, they are despicable! Me no gusto!

RIP my beloved brother.

By all means! Remember, the SCCR is an apendant body. And, as such, should never take away from your duties to your Blue Lodge. Remember, you will always owe those brothers who took up valuable time in their life's walk to enlighten you. I never miss Blue Lodge for Scottish Rite events. I...
