Welcome Brother! I am glad you enjoyed the experience. I wish you the best as you continue to seek further light

We just painted out lodge and it looks like it would be a prime target for a graffiti hit, but so far, so good...let's hope it stays that way.

Agreed! I feel the same way!

Oh yeah, Brother. I grew up cooking. I don't do it as a profession but my my gramma did and she taught me a lot. Let's just say refreshment is going to take on a whole new meaning when I am in the kitchen!

My Brothers of the forum. I am honored and actually a bit humbled to say that I have been asked by our incoming WM to be a part of his line next year. I have only been in as a MM since June 23rd of 2012. Our incoming WM made it clear that it is usually not the case that someone in our lodge...

We allow traditional observance lodges in CT too.....we are not irregular by any means....I don't understand the BS that some people strum up in the name of...what?....drama?.....

Welcome, never too late! Congratulations and may your Travels lead you to light!

So.... what happened?

That is awesome!

I find it very interesting that a majority of us were raised within the past five years. Is this a coincidence or is this a revival?

I am torn with this idea...in a way I do like the democracy and the freedom of the lodges to act individually, however, to me, there is something special about being able to go to Lodge far away from home and still hold a like connection to my Brothers. I don't know...I think is a good idea for...

Definitely an exalting experience for me too, but I must say that when I realized within my own self the seriousness and solemnity of the oaths I chose to take, the vastness of the fraternity, the acceptance of my Brothers, and the connection I felt to such an awesome history, I can't help but...

Congratulations! I hope it was an enlightening experience! My initiation was certainly enlightening, not to mention humbling.

I voted One black ball. First of all, it's how we do it here in CT. Second, from what I have been taught so far, it is our right as Master Masons, to disallow membership into this great fraternity. If I know a man to be dishonorable, or know that his membership would be of detriment to the...

I don't think Blue Lodge should be Christian only as I enjoy spending time with Brothers of all faiths but there are Christian only appendant bodies you could join if you wanted to. Here in CT we do get a disclaimer as to what the actual penalties would be vs. the symbolic. There is no blood...

I pray that you find the light you are looking for and that you do not give up on the Craft, but rather find a lodge whose thoughts and actions are more aligned with your own.

Eric, I have a question for you. Do you really want to join freemasonry, or are you just fascinated by it? Join or don't, whatever you decide, make sure it is of your own free will and accord.

How about Craigslist? LOL! j/k:13:

Congratulations! I look forward to being able to address you as Brother. I do agree with the Brother's about the Sunday date though. If the rules in TX are the same as in CT a degree can not be conferred on a Sunday. We can't even open lodge. Best of luck and enjoy the ride!

I don't think the meaning of Freemasonry has been lost. I have seen plenty of examples of Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love in my short time as a Mason so far, and I know I have not seen the last. Besides, Freemasonry can mean many different things to many different people. That being...
