Tarkinton Prairie Lodge #498 Chartered December 14, 1878

My neighbor drinks the Bud Light and Clamato. The other day he brought over a couple of "welders specials" (the 24 oz cans). It sounds good, I like V8 and I like beer. But it took about 2 hours to get that thing down, I didn't want to be rude so I just sat there and nursed it as best I could...

I can't vouch to its 100% accuracy, but here is what seems to be a good list of famous non-masons who are often thought to be masons. There are some surprisers on there. Famous Non-Masons - masonicinfo.com I have also seen a letter, that is somewhere on the internet, from a member of Rev...

OES members are called sisters (and brothers) by other members.

I agree!. There are some great books out there that can help us become more well rounded masons. I personally enjoy Masonic history books. Maybe we should start a thread for recommending books (if there isn't one already).

Welcome!!! I must ask, sorry if it is rude, is Hiram just a screen name? Or your actually name. Either way its cool!

I love this prayer. And I only add this link to provide accuracy and because the rest of the article is interesting. snopes.com: Billy Graham's Prayer for Our Nation The only reason I knew about the snopes article is that I have seen this posted on another site. I wasn't checking your post!

It is a scam somehow. Say it is something of a compilation of 120 out of print books. There is probably a reason they are out of print. How could there be 25,000 pages of secrets? King Solomon and His Followers has 209 pages and they are small pages at that.

Nice article! There is a long article about him in the most recent Cowboy & Indians magazine. I read it looking for any mention of his involvement in Freemasonry, but there was nothing. I wasn't disappointed, but it would have been cool to see a little shout out.

I think there is a false sense in this country, at least from what I see and read, that you have not "gone all the way" until you have done at least one of the appendant bodies. Just the other day, I heard a Mason I am friends with say "I have gone all the way to the 32nd degree". I have never...

Are there not organizations out there that are women only organizations? They may not be affiliated with the Masonic lodge (like OES), but certainly there are some out there.

I will have to keep that in mind. A buddy gave me a brewing kit as a gift. I have not used it yet, but I got it out the other day. Maybe I will start one! Do you brew your own? If so, I may need some advice.

I doubt any Masons from the US are going to have any info. At least none that they are going to post. LOL

Oh! Is it one of those groups that inbreed their own?:D I googled them, these people are nuts!!! I have been a Baptist (SBC) my whole life. I'm mad! They need to drop the name Baptist, and Church for that matter. What they are preaching is not what Jesus taught or the way he taught it.

Snobby beers for me - Blue Moon, Shiner, Killians I have also been drinking some Land Shark here in the last couple of years. I wouldn't call it snobby, but it ain't real cheap either.

Have you heard the story behind it? The GLOT gave the mason astronaut a special dispensation (or something) to establish a lodge on the moon. I don't know the story good enough to tell it, but my mentor/instructor was a NASA guy and he was always ratchet-jawing about it. For some reason I...

You can download one on the GL's website for free. I think at $300-$400 you might miss out on some good candidates. Not because they don't want to do it, but simply because that is quite a bit of money at one time. Mine was $60/$60/$100 paid before each degree, and I thought that was very...

I am all for the Shrine, my grandfather who spurred my interest in Masonry was a Shriner and one day I, too, will very likely petition the Shrine. With that said, your post seems a bit defensive has someone offended you about the Shrine?

I took a few minutes to think about it. And I don't really think it is a good idea to take any money prior to the vote and probably died for a reason. I think the degree fees are acceptable and before we initiate is a good time to have a candidate pay dues.

If he gets black balled, does he get his money back?
