    Dressing Down And Blimping Up -- A Reflection of Freemasonry

    Our incoming WM addressed myself (the JW-elect) and the SW-Elect about and idea that he had for this coming Masonic year. All three principle officers will wear at least khakis with a jacket, or a suit to all the Stated Meetings and called meetings of importance. He even went and bought all...

    Dressing Down And Blimping Up -- A Reflection of Freemasonry

    Bro. Courtemanche (and A7V, if you want to answer as well, I know you have been trying to exit the conversation), what kind of reaction do you get from your lodge Brothers when they saw that you have full sleeves? What is their reaction now after getting used to you with them? Or do you wear...

    To Shrine or Not To Shrine...

    Yea, I got it. Sorry it took me a little bit longer than I was planning to reply to ya. Oh, yea I'm pretty sure that its not all about drinking and partying all the time. I hope that I didn't sound like that is what I thought Shriners do all the time. I was just meaning that the main...

    Dressing Down And Blimping Up -- A Reflection of Freemasonry

    If you are attending a suit and tie event, or a "black tie event", common sense says don't show up in jeans. Show up in a suit and tie.....lol I'm all about being comfortable and wearing my shorts and flip flops whenever I can, BUT I do try to use common sense....lol

    Dressing Down And Blimping Up -- A Reflection of Freemasonry

    First of all, for some reason the author of that article just annoyed the tar out of me...lol As for my opinion, I don't think really anyone puts on what they choose to wear that day and says to themselves "This is me expressing my right to free speech". But you really can't answer this...

    Good News For Detroit Masonic Temple

    All I can say is WOW!!! That place is amazing, and HUGE.... It is official. I'm gonna have to go up there sometime and check it out. I can't believe that I was up there in December of 2007 and I had no clue that that existed! I think I have finally found a place that tops the Dallas...

    To Shrine or Not To Shrine...

    Where is this other post about your Scottish Rite Reunion? Really intersted in reading it, but can't find it. Has it not been posted yet? Also, look for a PM from me. Want to ask you something about the Grotto....

    To Shrine or Not To Shrine...

    When I went through the Scottish Rite degrees in 2010 out in El Paso, those Shrine boys were doing pretty much the same thing...lol I don't really remember what kind of deal they were throwing out there to join, but I remember just about every break Shrine guys would come up to all of us...

    I'd like to power to...

    I like how you put that...lol I could have thought I JUST read something in the GLoT Laws about something like this. I thought that it said that there was an actual process that the WM had to go through to be able to remove someone. Something like he had to warn the Brother causing the...

    Connecting Young Freemasons

    This past week I started tossing around an idea like this in my head. While I am 30 y/o, I do consider myself to be a "young" mason. Recently, my lodge hosted a L.I.F.E. Program class. There were Brothers from every lodge in our Mason District, and even some from Leander, TX. I noticed that...

    Face Book Pages and Grand Lodge

    Another Brother suggested "communications committee" as well. But if ya'll do call it a "communications committee", what all would fall under the scope of that committee? Anything to do with communications including email lists, phone calls, etc? Or are ya'll just going to have them focus on...

    Central Texas DeMolay

    Quick question about this DeMolay membership. Since I have gotten into Masonry and heard about DeMolay (I wish my father and I knew about it when I was a youngster...lol), I have always wanted a son and wanted to have him involved in DeMolay. This will YEARS down the road since he will be...

    Clandestine, Irregular, Unrecognized

    Brother Jones, I appreciate the posts that I have seen come from you on here as well. Very informative. I have my own personal beliefs about the Mainstream vs. PHA issue, and I will gladly talk with anyone about it, though I don't think I am going to stand up on a chair in my lodge's dining...

    Face Book Pages and Grand Lodge

    I totally agree with you about Brothers not starting initiatives on their own in the name of the lodge. There is way too much chance for something to go wrong. If your comments were geared towards me, I hope that I did pass along the information that I didn't just start this initiative on my...
