Hiram Key IS a really good book!! I was looking for it on my shelf when this thread was started, but couldn't find it :(

And just curious, the title of the page/article on the GLoT website that Bro. Stewart set up the link to is titled "Recommended..." Since it says that it is recommended, and it comes from the Internet Committee, does it actually make it "law" or is it more or less just looked at as "guidance"...

I thought about this too, but I kind of figured that this is the gray area in the guidance that will be addressed sometime in the near future. Beings that a Facebook Page or Group is not an actual "website" or "free website", I figure that it is not covered by that statement. However, I can...

Depends on what you are wanting to read about. History of Freemasonry, Masonic history in a specific area, meanings of teachings... There is a world of literature out there. I have even recently found out that searching databases for PDF files of Masonic research can provide some great...

Thanks a lot, Bro. Stewart. Even though there was less information that I figured would be in there, it did clear up a couple of questions that I had. I'm pretty sure with more and more of these Pages going up for lodges, it won't be long before there is more guidance that is specifically...

No, actually our lodge didn't vote on this. A few of us, including the WM, were talking about getting more attention brought to the lodge. I brought up that Helotes (Thanks, BroBill) had something similiar and that I would volunteer to help with it. The WM just told me to go for it and get...

Hey, Brother... I have been doing the same thing and I have only come up with a couple of things so far. I haven't gone totally through the Laws yet, but here is what I have found so far for this particlar issue: Art. 405a Publication of Names Prohibited- "The names of Petitioners...

Thanks, Brothers. And sorry for the long response. Been hectic. I am going to find a few lodges in the area and tonight at lodge make sure they are recognized in our book. Was also hoping that someone from that area might be on here and maybe he could contact them for any questions regarding...

Hey, Brothers. I have a buddy of mine that is from my hometown and currently serving on active duty out at Fort Benning, GA. He got a hold of me wanting to find out about Masonry. He now has expressed to me he would like to take the next step and gaining light. Since, I am a Texas boy...

Thanks, Scott. Pretty interesting.

So, I just briefly scanned through a little bit of that. What exactly is the point of that WordPress thing? Just basically Blogging stuff that comes to your mind every day? Maybe as some kind of release? If that is the case, how do you feel that it works for you? After seeing your thing, I...

Wow. THat is really neat. I'm still pretty envious of your picture taking skills. Lol if there is a technical term for that. Not too long ago I did a research report on the Great Hurricane of 1900 that demolished Galveston. Found a bunch of the damaged Masonic Temple as it was called...

Ya know, I love Masonry and the Brothers that I come into contact with in person and online. I especially love to see Brothers helping to inform other Brothers in a mature and intellectual manner. Today was a good day for some fellowship for the Brothers in my lodge. Camp Longhorn is a...

Brothers, Brother Buck Daricek, WM of Valley Lodge #175 (my lodge) in Burnet, TX, will be having a much awaited surgery on his back this coming Tuesday. I know that he is very nervous about it, as am I since he has been pretty close to me this past year, so I wanted to post on here and just...

Niiice! I'm really sorry to hear how you feel about the members of your community and the way that you see that they look upon you and your family. You know what? Oh well!...lol Just keep on being a good man and being nice. Sure, they may continue to act the way they do for a while, maybe...

Good stuff!!! Glad to hear us Brothers in the southern states aren't having to pull all the weight hahahah JK Really is good to hear that membership of younger men is on the rise anywhere. Very well said. Good job on working with that EA that well. Congrats on getting to perform your...

Wow!!! That was a very informative and interesting post! Thank you for taking the time to put that much out. It actually covered some questions I have had from time to time, but never asked at my lodge. Either because I didn't know it would be a wise idea to bring up and ask, or, and the biggest...

Just a quick question about this certificate. Is it just a certificate, or is there some places on the back to have Brothers from the lodge being visited to sign, or even just to write in what lodge was visited and when? Sort of like that whole "passport" thing?

Yea, that is very true. Thankfully, this EA is really committed to things. His work takes him out of town for a night or two at the last second, but I think he is just really excited to get the work done and saw our other buddy get all the way done in such a short time that it kind of made him...

What state and under what jurisdiction are you located? That might be one of the determining factors of why your WM said that.
