Are u being passed or presenting your 2nd proficiency?

 

[blacksmith83]

I believe its the proficiency? After this i will be fellow craft

 

[Ripcord22A]

I think u might be a little confused brother. If u have taken ur 1st degree and given your proficiency than you are about too be passed to fellow craft....nothing to worry about as far as getting tounge tied. Not a whole lot for you to say during the degree.....have fun brother

 

[blacksmith83]

Haha ya, the way you worded your question had me overthinking it lol

 

[blacksmith83]

But thanks for the support! Ive just been abit jumbled after the senior warden said most importantly i need to get the obligation 100% since its a solo part

 

[blacksmith83]

Made it through without too many hiccups lol hard talking the same time as others lol...my highlight of the night is saying to the junior warden "the passcraft of a fellowgrip"

 

[Ripcord22A]

So you were presenting your fc proficiency to open lodge and not going through the degree?

 

[blacksmith83]

I was passed to fellow craft from entered apprentice

 

[Ripcord22A]

I know there are.differences from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but you have me thoroughly confused brother. Being passed is the degree. But what you described above is the proficiency. Either way congrats

 

[blacksmith83]

Thanks, and your original post had me confused as to what it would be considered haha, my first degree i was led through and then given work on it, then went through it and now am fellow craft, either way...still learning and moving on! Lol only downside is i had a ring ordered which was supposed to be 8-12weeks for delivery, and they sent it in 6 so now i got it on my dresser staring at me lol

Did you receive the full form FC degree, with the stairwell lecture? Some jurisdictions include it, some do not , some it is optional. If you have not yet received the stairwell lecture, then I highly recommend it! Find a nearby lodge, and see when it will be presented.

 

[blacksmith83]

Yes, i received the lecture about the stair well, 3,5 and 7...well i wont say anymore on it lol

Congrats brother... some more work and hopefully you will receive the sublime degree... then it's more work... and it's a joy to do that work. I'm looking forward to more and more. Happy to hear you have passed!!!

 

[blacksmith83]

Thanks! I'm happy to have made my first advancement as a mason and looking forward to much more
