I was gonna say something cute about the image you bikers give Masonry but I guess their are plenty already doing that. I wish your avatar said "Share the road and the Lodge" LOL!

"The mission was to work on matter, to cut it, carve it, to imbue it with intention until every particle of matter in the universe has been worked on and spritualized." -Quoted from "The Secret history of the World" I have always believed that stone masons of long ago where more than...

well the nays have taken the lead

Okay let me corerect some facts in that. Tom Shelton handed his statement to Betty. Tom was the first to get Van Gaurd in a really long time. I am pretty sure Bob got one but would have to check. We raised 20 MM @ Fort Worth 148 and @ Tarrant we raised quite a few over there as well so I...

seen it done before, I will look for the FB page b/c I cannot remember the name.

Hey Bill I think he is talking to you? You Wharton boys are so crazy.

Josh you know vdery well being young in the Fort Worth Temple is not advantageous but it is fun.

The tiler stops getting paid then is the short answer. We are not kicked out at 9pm but there is a feeling it is time to go at 9pm and in order to maintain peace and harmony we chose to leave then. There are alot of ins and outs to why we leave at 9pm because we do lodge at the Temple which...

Any news? He has been in my thoughts and prayers.

Thought the same thing but the GM as cool as he is could not have made a meal like our stewards did that SM. There was also chicken wrapped in BACON and all the meat is slow roasted over an open flame. It was greatness. I just wish we could play dominoes or do anything in the Temple till...

(Insert Gavel) Bring yourself to order and quieten down Brother Bill! ;)

lmao, well it has been tradition that if the WM (at my lodge)wants an agenda he has to type it so i am not gonna put that on my Sec this year he is new in the spot so maybe next year the WM will ask him to do it.

best advice I can give is type an agenda so if you do have abrain fart you got it all written down.? Or is that just me that has constant gas/bloating in his brain!?

would love that my Brother

Well the one thing I know about Masonry is that one could not read into it to much. It was not my intention to disolve this believe for you or any others but to hear philosphy on how you derived this conclusion. I cannot say for sure this is not indicated in the ritual but I am oblivious to...

this is not original I copy and pasted

As most things in Masonry they have more than one meaning. Meaning of the Color Blue Blue is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed. The color of sky and the ocean, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. As the collective color...

catch 22 it may be but I myself feel certian we have the best minds in Masonry going down the wrong rabbit hole chasing these tax exemptions. As Tom alluded in his statment to the DDGM money is not our problem it is a symptom of the true problem.

yea but for the record this charity log is for the tax exemtion of ad-valurem which is state level not the IRS. I think the comptroller watches us on this issue inot the IRS. And the only thing that can be threatened is to have to pay ad-valurem again not sure if that would apply to the whole...

We will have to wait and here all debate before we form hard opinions but if it did not pass it would show we are just not ready yet for change. Which is not always a bad thing. Lessons are needed to be learned by the both sides of this coin and nothing gets the gears turning like adversity...
