From what I understand the change occured when they came out with the monitor in the 3 ring binder, a new MM I know has this version I called him and he said that it stated that there could be a mix of masons and non-masons and Master Masons could wear their aprons, I'll go by the lodge tomorrow...

My monitor although admittedly old states unequivocally that, "All pal-bearers should either wear aprons, or none should wear them. No mix of Masons and non-Masons should be used as pall-bearers unless all appear in non-Masonic dress" I have been told but don't have ready access to a new...

Is it just me or does the SC look like it is on the FC?

Was there ever any doubt?! Congratulations Brother!!!!!

Come on brothers give the guy a break, I'm sure that wearing dark undies will be sufficient and everything else will take care of itself. In all seriousness congratulations on being accepted into the worlds largest and in my opinion greatest fraternity. You have yet a rough and rugged road to...

Don't think it will be available until the end of the week.

Chris, sorry about your having issues with your parent lodge. You will need to visit other lodges and hopefully find one that is a good "fit" for all involved. Once you have found a lodge visit with the WM and secretary explaining your issues to them BE TOTALLY UPFRONT, the secretary will then...

Be sure and let us know if your accepted and when your initiation will be. I'm just a short drive down Hwy. 59 and haven't had the pleasure of visiting Trinity #14, this would give be a good excuse to go.

Knew I was forgetting something!!

Mark, I believe the first thing you should do if you haven't already done so is petition for membership at the new lodge; after you have been accepted there you would file an application for demit with your current lodge (you can get this from your new lodge secretary). You can do this...

As I understand it the increase will not apply to the 2011 returns; the increased returns will come due in 2012..............I could be wrong wouldn't be the first time :huh:. The cost of an endowment is set by the individual lodge; the lodge must pay returns on both endowed members and...

Books will be on the way as soon as I can get them gather up.

I cannot really add anything more to what was so well presented above other than to say to all my brothers..........use the black cube judiciously, while it is your duty to protect the lodge against those who you feel would bring dishonor to the fraternity, I honestly feel that more often than...

Well said brother.

Congratulations brother, now begins the true journey.

Forgive me for posting this here instead of under sickness and distress and move it if you must but I wanted to get this out where it would be noticed. I just received this and wanted to get out the word. > > http://www.mdanderson.org/how-you-can-help/donate-blood/index.html > > Dear Brother...

To be honest except for charity/fundraising very little. I whole heartedly agree that a true mentorship program should be implemented not for the esotorical teachings alone but to help less informed brothers including myself develop a true meaning behind the words included in our work. If one...

Welcome Bro. Jerry!!

Welcome brother, I'm sure you will find this place very enlightening.

Exactly the reason we don't give a monitor to an EA or FC; I have typed up the working tools of both degrees and give them to my students to learn on there own, normally by the time I have them to the end of the first section they STILL don't have them down and we work it through together after...
