I think your analogy is suspect since the VFW requires a membership as well and as far as know most of those posts have implemented a mask mandate. But I get your point, if the GM says to wear a mask, then we as Masons are obligated (literally) to follow his instructions and wear a mask. But I...

I think it depends on where you live and what the prevailing attitude in that area is towards the pandemic. Here in Florida everything is mostly open and people are getting on with their lives and not stressing over a virus with a 98.5% recovery rate. Especially with a vaccine being rolled...

It was cute. Don't read it for any Masonic accuracy or deep thoughts. LoL Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Benjamin Franklin Lodge #83 in the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin is the only Lodge in the Jurisdiction currently authorized to operate as an EC Lodge working in the Emulation Rite. http://www.franklin83.org/

Yes. You read the title correctly! This book, more of a short story I think, popped up on my recommendations today and for $5 I couldn't resist...

That's unfortunate. It's a powerful ceremony that makes a lasting impression on the candidate. But I am sure they have their reasons.

For us it is mostly found in jewelry and such. Since we meet old style without an official lodge building, rather on the upper floor of a private dinner club, we don't have any of the normal trappings you see around lodges today. For any ritual items used during meetings or degrees, we use what...

My EC Lodge still uses the symbol. I think it means more to Lodges that use a Chamber of Reflection. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'm curious as well if this is the case. Regardless of the symbolism. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Or the skull and crossbones in Freemasonry represents exactly what we teach that it means, a memento mori. A remembrance of death. No need to confuse such a simple and elegant symbol. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

You're out of luck. That's not what this forum is for. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Did you have questions about Freemasonry? I'm just wondering why you're here. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Ahmed, if you are looking to join Freemasonry in Egypt I don't think we can help. As far as I know, the situation has not improved there. Others may be able to shed light if the attitude towards Freemasonry in Egypt has changed...

Without a radical shift in ideology in predominantly Muslim countries I would say Freemasonry will remain closed there for the foreseeable future. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Unless things have changed recently, Freemasonry is still not welcome in the United Arab Emirates.

Congrats Worshipful! Horeb Lodge, that's in Lincoln, right? I'm originally from Waterville though I live in the Sunshine State now.

You're in luck since Malaysia is one of the very few Muslim countries where it is still legal to become a Freemason. There are Masonic lodges in all states in Malaysia except Terengganu, Kelantan and Perlis. The largest lodge in Malaysia will be located in Bukit Jalil. We cannot help you join...

Look at some of the very nice commercial tracing boards out there and see if the emblems match your ritual. My EC Lodge uses tracing boards and I believe it makes a much better impression as a teaching tool during the degrees than a powerpoint or slide show...

Unless things have changed recently there is no regular Masonic Lodges in Qatar. The only ones I have heard of are PHA Lodges on US military installations. Supposedly, Qatar is one of the countries in that region that is not well disposed towards Freemasonry. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
