    Wearing the Bling

    Further there are other other limitations that require a certain level be obtained, for instance, only sitting masters and past masters can vote at Grand Lodge. So, not allowing EAs and FCs to wear rings, it not really an issue of being a Mason, in the same manner that voting at Grand Lodge is...

    Brotherly Ethics

    Andy shouldn't be defaming Bob's name, particularly if Bob told him to keep it under his hat. I am sure you could find plenty in our teachings to justify having a constructive conversation with Bob about his "loose" ways, but still you should tread lightly.

    Chamber of Reflection

    That is cool. I was just curious, because one of our brothers who works a lot in the degrees, wants us to do a degree in "period' costume. I think it would be in the period of King Solomon. I think it would be cool I would like for our lodge to do something similar to what your's is. Suits...

    An honest question...

    Just go back, you will be accepted. Your situation is NOT UNCOMMON. I would contact the Secretary and let him know your situation. He should be able to get you on the right path, with a teacher and the proper paper work.

    Appendant Degrees, What's the Rush?

    While I agree with the idea of spending some time in the blue lodge before petitioning the other bodies, I don't really think a Grand Lodge requirement is appropriate. Maybe the appendant bodies could make it one of their requirements that a brother had to have a year's experience in the blue...

    Pat Robertson

    Whether is true or not, it should not have been said publicly (at least not in the manner Pat said it). As a Christian, I don't like having Pat as one of our spokespersons.

    Meals -- Before or after the meeting

    We do ours meal then meeting and we are in a town where a lot of folks commute to the Houston area for work. So, from a practical standpoint, having the meeting after the meal (at a later time) appears to allow more brothers to make to the meeting from work and other obligations. If the meal...

    What's wrong with this concept?

    Oh men don't decorate! You would really have to have a good foot in the door.

    What's wrong with this concept?

    Whats wrong with it? It is a big part of business/sales, including my business (real estate consulting/sales). I must say I have never seen it put in words like this, although we talk all the time about getting a foot in the door. I think it has to do with earning trust. We call it...

    Three Things You Should Know About Freemasonry

    I don't get it either. Does the SR give out these degrees to all presidents? The whole statement kind of bothers me.

    Need another reason govt shouldn't be in the airport security business?

    That no-fly list is stupid. There is a better way of doing this, but some would consider it discriminative. We know has been blowing up planes in the last few years.
