    GLoT Magazine: Hardcopy or Electronic Version (Read post first)

    The last few days there was a thread going on talking about the GLoT's magazine and how much it costs to get it put out. There were a lot of good posts that I saw on there. Since I haven't creatd a poll yet, I figured this was as good a topic as any to make my first poll. So, which of the...

    Need Approval to Conduct Research???

    An idea that I think could be of use to Masonry in the long run has crept into my brain a few weeks ago. It has been growing and growing and now I am at the point that I need to decide whether to advance on it or not. Before I make that decision, I am needing to make sure that I can go...

    Secrecy

    Hahahah I remember when a buddy of mine and I got or EA right about the same time. Him, a MM friend of ours, and I were talking at work one day about the work. He said that he was worried crazy about muttering the work while he was asleep...lol After reading this initially, that same thougth...

    Winter 2011 Texas Mason Magazine

    Bro. Benton- You are absolutely right about this. I am actually guilty of this myself and it happenned as recent as a few days ago and last night. A few days ago, I noticed that the magazine was on the GL website. I have always been a fan of reading it whenever I would see one. So, I downloaded...

    Is he a mason?

    I'm right there with you Mike. My mother had me try it when I was younger, and then later in life my ole lady had me try it to prove that I didn't like it...lol I had the normal "Goldschlager" response........lol

    Resolutions 2012

    His name is Mike Stedman. Same as mine and he is retired and disabled now. There was another guy that worked with my father that was from down in Wharton and worked for the LCRA as a Ranger. I can't remember if he worked in Wharton before getting on with LCRA, or if the LCRA had him down in...

    Secrecy

    Goodness. We have some Brothers in here with great heads on their shoulders. I was going to comment on here, but there have been so many great points made that any that I might have come up with have been spoken. This thread has been a really good read so far and I can't wait to see it...

    Attending Church Inquiry

    I never have heard of that. In fact, I still haven't met a Brother that has acted like that when it came to those that went to church or not. If attending church services was a requirement to gain mutual respect from other Masons, what is the point of calling it a "brotherhood"? Especially...

    Bylaws?

    This totally does make sense. I had the same question when I was first raised, but never did ask because of other circumstances. As a volunteer firefighter, each department that I was with would give a copy of the by-laws for the organization as well as a copy of the SOP's and SOG's. I guess...

    Winter 2011 Texas Mason Magazine

    Wow! I had no idea that it cost the GL that much for the magazine. Especially for as little information that is in it and also how small the number of issues a year are. I would like to see one that is as big as the California one is said to be. Maybe one way of cutting down the cost would...

    Resolutions 2012

    Yea, there is no way that I am going to be able to get it in by then. Getting the move done, settled in, starting work, getting things set up with VA and for school....lol I am really going to have a hard time making it up to the lodge to express this idea...lol If someone else can get it in...

    Reasons for becoming a Freemason

    Thanks for sharing that with me. It is awesome to know that there are other Brothers out there that experienced that same thing growing up. I didn't lose my father, and I am sorry to hear that you lost yours at that young of an age, it is awesome the impact our fathers had on us living the...

    Can a Texan become a Freemason while in Afghanistan?

    I was in B Troop 1-9 CAV, 4BCT I was a 19D And yea Vinny, I will fire off an email to one Brother that I know from there and another guy that I think is a member there. I'll get back to you with that information as soon as possible.
