    Finding History of a specific Sir Knight

    Very recently, a friend of mine (who just got initiated) had a great aunt that passed away. While going through her house, the found a sword that he believed to be of Masonic affiliation. He asked me about it and I confirmed that it was one used in the Commandery. Pretty old too. Well, my...

    Shaq

    Ah, no worries, my Brother. I'm tracking what you are saying, I just wanted to make sure that I had it correctly. I wish the PH thing wasn't such a touchy and blurred issue....

    MasterCraftsman II

    The Scottish Rite (I'm referring to the Southern Jurisdiction; not sure if the Northern Jurisdiction has this program or something like it) came out with an educational program that goes in depth of the degrees and the meanings of the degrees. They call it the Master Craftsman Program. It is a...

    Shaq

    Just so I can clarify for my own knowledge, you are saying that another "Mason" on a non Masonic website? Or are you saying that you some some official posts from Shaq saying that he was just joking around about doing the Masonic thing? Forgive me, but the way your post was worded I kind of...

    Fantasy Baseball Time Again!!!

    Well, the time is finally here! Registration for Fantasy Baseball leagues should be starting up pretty soon. I will be restarting the MoT Fantasy Baseball league again this year. I am shooting for a minimum of six in the league so that whoever wins can get an actual trophy on their profile...

    MasterCraftsman II

    Congrats, Brother. I hope to be finishing the MCP I soon. I started it over a year ago and due to moving a few times, haven't been able to buckle down and get it done. But, I sent another test off a few days ago and got my days broken down to allow for a certain amount of time set aside for...

    Young aspiring Freemason having trouble

    I don't know about the requirements of the lodges up there in CT, but are you sure that you make the age minimum? At different times and different places, the minimum age was a bit different. Sometimes 18, sometimes 21 etc. If it has been a month since you submitted your petition, that...

    Shaq

    You know what? I also really liked seeing his reaction in the video when they asked what his ring was for, and when the guy asked him if he was a Mason. Whether PH or not, to hear that Shaq took the honor of being made a Mason and finished his work puts a smile on my face :) I don't know...

    Codebooks and Secrets in Texas

    Ahh! That is something that I didn't actually hear from anyone that was part of Masonic Law! Thanks for posting that. I wouldn't be using it in front of a candidate anyhow, but I'm glad to know that information.

    Memorization Aid???

    For sure, Brother. All I need to know is when and I'll be there. I'm right down the road so I can most likely make it to your FC and whenever you turn in your work for the degrees as well. Have fun learning the work :)

    Reunions in Other Valleys

    Right on, thanks. I was figuring to make contact with the Secretary about it eventually. Just figured I would post on here since I have plenty of time before they are going to be able to go through the SR degress.

    Thoughts of the home and school

    There really is a movie coming out on this? Is it going to be a movie in theaters across the country, have screenings in only select cities, or like an HBO of made-for-tv-movie? If it is going to be in theaters, might be a neat things to get Brothers from the lodge to all meet up and go see it...

    Shaq

    Ah, right on. Wasn't discediting him on it or anything, just curious if that is how he was recieved into the Craft. That is really good that he went on to finish his degrees.

    Codebooks and Secrets in Texas

    Regading the question that was brought up by Vinny, I decided to ask a question that I have had for quite some time about the codebooks (or cypherbooks, or whatever everyone calls them). Is being in possession of (because of the content itself and the obligations we take), sharing with others...

    Memorization Aid???

    I kind of wish the codebooks weren't even out there, but since they are and are everywhere, I am kind of in agreeance with this as well. If the GL would put out or support a specific book, while having specific rules or laws regarding the usage, it could be a bit beneficial as it keeps everyone...

    Shaq

    Isn't he one of those that is a "Mason on sight" (or site, I don't know which way it goes)?

    Memorization Aid???

    Hey, congrats on getting initiated! Glad to hear it finally went through. I was never told about the book until I was raised. I knew my father had one, but I didn't know what it was till someone from Mt. Hiram told me about it after I had gotten raised. When I was told about it, they had...
