Same here. I visit his site frequently.Mr. King is a great and humorous writer. I enjoy his site thoroughly.
A charter or warrant entitling them to work.Great article. At my raising I was told to make sure I saw a charter from the Grand Lodge whenever visiting another lodge.
Yo! Wassup, My Boy! Honourable Mr.Glen Cook!Some clandestine lodges are abusive/assaultive. Some misuse the funds entrusted to them by the members. Some deceive members as to the legitimacy of the group, defrauding them of their money.
From a different aspect, members can't play with rest of us in our boys club.
Hello!Very many clandestine lodges are forces for good in their communities and don't abuse money or members. Few of their members are have any idea the lodge they joined is clandestine.
In regular lodges we can visit all over our jurisdiction, state, country, continent, world. In clandestine lodges members can visit other clandestine lodges in the same jurisdiction and have to look up what other jurisdictions recognize them.
At some point a clandestine member travels for some reason and are at a remote location long enough to try to visit a lodge there. He is rejected.
No, regular Masons are prohibited from visiting clandestine Lodges- not by the clandestine Lodge but by their own Lodges.is it possible for Regular Mason visit Clandestine Lodge? Or, he can be rejected?
Aa! Interestin'! Thank you for the answer.No, regular Masons are prohibited from visiting clandestine Lodges- not by the clandestine Lodge but by their own Lodges.
I think your questions were largely answered by other brothers, and I am in agreement.Yo! Wassup, My Boy! Honourable Mr.Glen Cook!
Thanks for Your answer!
1. Money. Irregulars are takin' money -- but don't give real masonic experience to the adept.
But, for example, can I be member of the irregular lodge & then join regular?
And, another question is: are the irregulars are really TOTALLY/Absolutely compromisin'/throwin' mud at regulars?
I just wanted to know "real difference" between regulars/irregulars!
Thanks again!

For an unrecognized Mason to join a regular Masonic Lodge, he must typically reject in writing the prior obedience. He will then either be "healed" or go through the three degrees again. Remember, there are many GLs and the rules vary.
As a kindly meant note, I would not refer to anyone on this list as a boy.
This is a very important point from my point of view.From a different aspect, members can't play with rest of us in our boys club.
But, is it possible for Regular Mason visit Clandestine Lodge?
Thanks for Your answer, Mr.Doug.A regular Mason might find a clandestine lodge by their sign on the building and present himself by mistake. It is not allowed by our rules but mistakes happen.
I can see how this would happen especially when traveling.A regular Mason might find a clandestine lodge by their sign on the building and present himself by mistake. It is not allowed by our rules but mistakes happen.
