Thanks i actually decided to turn in my petition in today. I told them I am not sure on the commandery yet and actually found out there is a member that in my lodge that is only in the chapter and council. I can always fill it out later if I want rather it be next week or in a year :) but I am...

Very interesting insight I think I will do just that. I will do chapter and council and take my time with commandery. My ideal situation is to get it done in the summer before school starts but if I have to wait longer to do all three so be it. What made you guys want to join the York Rite??

Oh okay cool. What is the highest degree one can achieve before he must declare the Christian faith? And as far as that goes do you guys see any problem in someone coming back to and or becoming a christian I suppose you could say (whichever one you prefer to say more) and then becoming a...

I haven't really tried asking them yet. But on the petition for the Commandery portion it has a line that says "that he is a firm believer in the Christian Religion". I would defend the Christian faith but it seems they want more then that. I like the idea of the York rite and everything so i'm...

Hello, I am a Master Mason who is looking to gain more light by hopefully joining the York Rite and possibly the Scottish Rite as well but my question here is obviously about the York Rite. I am wondering is one allowed to join the Chapter and Council but stop and not join the Commandery? Is...

My journey into freemasonry seems very weird to me. My grandpa was a Freemason and when I was in high school he passed away and my grandma gave me his ring and I didn't think much of it. The ring was inside a pouch and I put it away not thinking much of the ring for about 2 years I suppose until...

Can any brother recommend some good books for me to read? A brother at my lodge recommended a book called "Is it true what they say about freemasonry" by Brent S. Morris and Arturo De Hoyos. I haven't really read it but I did buy it for a brother who helped me through my EA degree to my MM...

All very interesting I didn't know a lot of that. I actually read that around the 1700-1800's I believe a lot of "masonic rites" started popping up claiming to be a part of masonry. The only thing I figure is possibly they where given the okay in the beginning and where cut off once people...

Oh okay that is interesting to know. I know they are apparently their own fraternity now and claim not to be a part of masonry on their website with some more stuff. I read that Alister Crowley joined a masonic lodge called "Anglo Saxon Lodge #343" I believe in Mexico?? but apparently it wasn't...

Okay I have recently stumbled upon things that I read up on after watching tv and I guess you could say they are interesting at the most. I have read that their was an order started by Adam Weishaupt called the Bavarian Illuminati which was apparently an actual order and Adam apparently actually...

Congrats!! It's definitely something you wont forget! :)

Okay cool its good to know that I am not the only one :) It's hard to say why but I feel it has made me want to learn more about my religion which I thought sounded kinda weird. I am happy to be reading more into my religion because while I didn't lose faith in God or Belief in God I did stray...

Hello it's been a while since I have posted on this site but I thought I would come back and start posting again. I haven't been a master mason but a couple of months and have been in freemasonry for about 7 almost 8 months now I suppose so still new. Now I know we are not a religion nor do we...

It is definitely a great feeling to be a mm now :) and as far as how long it took me I think it took about 3 months to get from EA to MM but I cant remember exactly maybe a little more or less.

Last night I was made a master mason and I was fortunate enough to have it at an event that is done once a year from my understanding. It was being held in my area at Longhorn caverns we had a great event that went very well, feels good to be a Master mason! but I know that my journey in...

Re: Apron Very interesting information I am glad to have read it! :)

Thanks for the welcome everyone! and thank you for the advice towerbuilder7 I will keep it in mind and I am honored to now be a part of this brotherhood and look forward to the journey's it will bring.

Hello just thought I would introduce myself to the site. I am not yet a mason but will be going through my initiation tonight! kinda nervous but yet excited. I have a lot going on right now between college and moving etc, but I feel I can and will find the time to add freemasonry in my life. I...
