Let me get this straight, the offended brother is pressing charges because the older brother said something unfavorable to him?
I'm not nearly as sophistocated as some, so if that is true, I'd tell him to grow some male body parts and give the old man a break. If I went around taking action...
As any man who is married knows, the only possible correct answer is the last one.;) I was told to show up with four other guys. All of us were to be clean, sober and dressed in evening wear. Otherwise, stay out of the way!:biggrin:
Really all but "I wanted to be part of a charitable organization". My grandfather was a Mason and spoke of the the other four in a way that really piqued my interest. I was something I wanted to do from a pretty young age.
I think it is good for us to see how our actions my affect the lives of others. It can help us to make better decisions.
Watch it again. "James my mate fancies u x..."
I haven't look through the telescope in years, but I love looking at the night sky.
It is an amazing place. We don't make it into the park much any more, we usually hang out in Marathon, or Alpine (Marfa once). Its hard to beat the Gage.
Practice nice is probably my favorite night at the lodge!
We have a designated coach and anyone from the peanut gallery usually directs all comments to him. Generally, he will appoint someone to coach a specific chair if someone is new or rusty. Everynow and then, someone will show up and...
That would be a good revolt in my opinion. However, not all of the incumbents are for this. Ours isn't. I only say this because there are a few statesmen up there, that represent our interests and not the government.
I would like to see the population nationwide vote strictly based on...
I am just going to throw this out there, because it came to mind as I was reading through some of yesterday's posts (lots of good religious talk). It in no is to diminish my previously stated opinion that Masonry is NOT a Christian order.
Christ was/is referred to as the "Lion of the Tribe...
You are exactly right, most of the world's religions claim to be the one way to salvation. As a Christian, I believe that way is Christ. I will go a step further and say the your beliefs regarding reincarnation is a type of religious belief. I am one of those who believe that the denial of...
Freemasonry is not a substitute for religion. It may have some religious references. And it has strengthed my relationship with Christ and the Church in many ways. I saw a list once of reasons why it was not a religion (or why it is not a subsitute for religion) I can't recall most of them...
I get way to emotionally involved in these conversations, so I am not going to. I'll just through this out there, there was nothing "Civil" about it.

I'm not saying that the Blue Lodge is a Christian organization. And I agree that there are no explicit references to Christ (although a Christian could choose to feel a special emotion regarding the explanation of the Lambskin as could a Jew). There are several suttle things in the degrees the...
I agree on all points with Brothers Josh, Wyndell and Jones. I believe that this part of our principles pre-dates the Grand Lodge of Texas.
As far as Christianity pressing itself into Masonry, it is my belief, (others will disagree and that is fine), that Christianity was the predominant...
