One of the videos at the bottom after it shows how they do it. Looks like it hurts.

Welcome!

There are a lot of nice places to visit, but only one place to live. I keep telling my wife that I want to move out west when I retire (many years from now), somewhere around Alpine (Marathon, Marfa). But that is way to slow paced for her, so I will probably have to have two retirement homes.

Since I was a child, I have heard that he went to hell to battle with Satan. I have never done a personal study of it, because it has never been that important to me. After being resurrected and walking on the earth for a period of time, he ascended to heaven. If we believe that he went to...

I recommend it! It is an eye opener. Now it is at one extreme and as with any of these kind of expose documentaries the truth is probably somewhere more toward the center. But it is a good starting place if you want to start researching where your food comes from. And if you are interested...

On one hand, they are very functional, but they show little thought or creativity. I learned this from my wife when I tried to buy one for my mother for Christmas.

There is also a sermon series by John MacArthur that is very similar to the books. Here is a link: http://www.gty.org/Resources/Sermon+Series/79

Judas Iscariot is any interesting character to study. For those interested, I recommend a book call Twelve Ordinary Men by John MacArthur about the disciples/apostles. He does a great job of pulling the story together on each of them. Like Bro. Jones said, Iscariot appears to have been...

I am opposed to one-day conferrals, but in certain cases (military deployment being a good one) I think it is acceptable for the Grand Lodge to give a special dispensation. But making a Mason at sight? That is crazy!!! It has no value, neither to the fraternity or the "candidate".

That is funny! (No offense to anyone). I am going to be thinking about that tonight, my jr. steward is in OES and I love to give him a hard time.

After watching more, I think the folks doing the reenactments are actors (hopefully not masons). A key to these parts of the show is Duncan's Ritual. This is not to say that I agree with the whole deal, but this kind of stuff has been published since shortly after 1717. BTW, because of...

I watched part of it and have it on DVR to watch when I have time. Those brothers (which include Brent Morris one of the top hands with the Scottish Rite) did interview segments and that were used in the show. The same sound bites are used in many of the shows, so it is likely the producers...

I agree on all points. As I have stated before, for a masonic forum we spend a lot of time "discussing" religion, which has the potential to be divisive among brethren. Actually, this discussion would likely be divisive among brothers of the same faith and even demonination, much less...

Re: Club or Fraterny Fraternity (a brotherhood)

Re: Big Changes in Pennslvana Masonry And what was the information?

As far as the original question, I think time is probably the answer. I was born in 1976, so that puts me in Gen X. My grandfather was a mason, I knew from an early age that I would become a mason. But at the advice of my grandmother, I waited until I was settled down (married, etc.)...

Re: Big Changes in Pennslvana Masonry With the exception of the one day classes and the written work, these seem like pretty good ideas (of those listed on the Freemasons for Dummies website). This is why I don't like one day degrees. For one, I think the memory work gives a new brother a...

It wigged out on me after about 50 questions. It must know that I am a Southern Baptist (AKA a Fundamentalist). I could ask about 5 of the questions I read up until it quit on me and have a pretty good idea of your faith.

I agree.

Right on. For a masonic forum, we sure talk about religion a lot. Must be because we can't do it in the lodge.
