Brother Nate is 100% correct and if it is not glaringly apparent now that is a weak spot in my lodge and with me. We are looking to get back in the practice of parliamentary procedure but it is a work in progress as we got way off. Thanks for noticing Brother Nate, the parliamentary procedure...

I concur Brother Bill when I first gave the lecture I gave them auctioneer style, I still catch myself from time to time speeding up but delivery is probably 75% of what you are doing up there. It was and is tough to slow down but I see this work put into properly memorizing something bleeding...

Those pics rock. I love the first Lighthouse that was mystical looking.

You just stand up and say " WM Wardens and Brethren I move that we pay our bills" or "WM Wardens and Brethren I move that we use $250 for a Christmas Dinner." The WM then will wait for a second and ask for discussion then a vote. It would be a good idea to talk to a Brother or two and tell...

This is as close as I could find to you in Beeville. Check it out hope it helps. San Antonio Scottish Rite Bodies

Now it would behoove a Mason to know the customs of another GJ if they were to visit but in the great state of Texas we are to wear the apron on the outside of all clothing. This is a small example of how Masonry must conform to the times but stay intact at it's core.

Good stuff.

I always find that informing the candidate that the investigation process is a 2 way street always helps. I inform them they need to investigate Masonry just as it is investigating them because this is not for everyone and before we waste yours and my time by proceeded you need to ask lots of...

The good thing about fundamentalism is there is a cure all you have to do is go outside your box and educate yourself. The more I study the religions we have today mainly Islam and Christianity I find that Muhammad and Jesus both where not trying to start a new religion they where simply...

That is awesome.

Great to have you.

That is not correct or at least from what I have been told. PHGL was looking for full recognition from us to pursue recognition with another GL not sure which but I believe it was across the pond point being they came to us with a compact approved by their GL that requested full recognition...

There have been 1.4 million Texas Code books sold since it was created in the 20's sometimes and since we legalized it 10,000 have been sold and that is a big number. OK GL legalized it and keep the copy writes and printed their own and sold them for 50$ a whack. So if we had keep the copy...

Kipling is the man

EA is the cornerstone if you will from which we build so a solid foundation as Brother Chris said is crucial for the understanding of the next 2 degrees.

Vote brethren beginning on Josh's right.

My Uncle Jake was about as good a Mason as they come and he loved the craft will all of his heart as it facilitated a huge change in his life. This man sweat blue and lived every minute I ever saw by the craft. I was proud that day to be able to wear my white leather apron and although you were...

Oh no.. ! Where you not privy to this secret.. ? Those are the applications that the Illuminati look at for possible candidates.. ! :001_tongue: The A.L.L. is supposed to be done by all TX MM and is a program that walks them through the functions and laws of a lodge and GL. You know tells about...

My question is why in the world would a Lodge vote in an officer who turns their nose to the ritual work? What happened to the prestige of the chairs. The "old guys" used to make being an officer something to attain and work for, now the chairs are just babysitters and mediators most of the time...
