So its nothing secret about exchanging signs in public then right? The meaning of the sign may be a secret. But the sign itself is okay to display?? Or The signs are secrets point blank period?
For "experienced" Master Masons, the Word is "Mo-Trin"!Immovable is me before the morning ibuprofen
No actually I am not wrong. My statements are far from incorrect. I just dont feel like going back and forward.YOU should remember that, and learn to ask questions and qualify what you post rather than make declarative statements that are incorrect.
I won't say you're wrong, because I don't know the rules of your jurisdiction. I will say that the Minnesota Masonic Manual clearly makes the symbols monitorial, meaning NOT secret.No actually I am not wrong. My statements are far from incorrect. I just dont feel like going back and forward.
Exactly, plus the symbols can mean different things in various circumstances.Yes, and it still doesn't allude to symbols, merely the items upon which one would write, etc.
It refers to the words, the words we learn from our mentor's mouth. The symbols mean nothing, or at least something else, to the profane. I had squares hanging all over my woodshop, but unless you were a Brother, they were just tools I used in my job.
Search the forum for "tattoos" and you will see this horse was beaten to death long ago.
Lol...naproxen for me.Immovable is me before the morning ibuprofen
Agreed.JB93 stated "No actually I am not wrong. My statements are far from incorrect. I just dont feel like going back and forward."
Your statements may be correct in your own jurisdiction. My point is that you tend to make blanket statements that are demonstrably incorrect in others.

I see where your confusion is now brother. You are confusing the movable and immovable furniture of the lodge and a movable or immovable object.. A immovable object is what it is and I see masons publicly wearing it..
Correct bro. Everything is clear on my end now. You cant learn if you dont speak right lolI see where your confusion is now brother. You are confusing the movable and immovable furniture of the lodge and a movable or immovable object.

Agreed! Not too long ago I saw a young man wearing a wind breaker with the S & C. I introduced myself and asked what lodge he belonged to. He didn't understand what I was talking about. I explained and he informed me that the jacket belonged to a friend of his and that he was not a Mason. I then told him to have a nice day. I wondered if the friend that he borrowed the jacket from was a Freemason, and, if so, why he would let a non-Mason wear his jacket.Neither time did I chastise either of these men or try to "take their Light" and ya know why? because as Freemasons we are taught to constantly chip away at our rough edges and by getting upset at someone for wearing or using a symbol that is not copy righted and trying to take someones property surly isn't masonic.
A few days ago I posted a Picture of a couple Tshirts one of which I had purchased, They are from a line called "not So secret Society" from a brand by the name of Stead Fast Brand. on Saturday evening I saw a young man wearing the Tank top version of the one I bought at the Gym. Being that there is only 2 lodges here in town and I know most of the Younger Members, I was fairly certain he wasn't a Freemason. In between sets I approached him and asked if he was a Freemason. he looked at me kinda silly and I told him the reason why I asked was because of his shirt. He pointed to a triangle with the "All seeing Eye" and said "Cause of this?" I said "no, the Square and Compasses. Im a freemason and it caught my eye and I actually just bought the Tshirt version yesterday." he then said "Oh no Im not a freemason I just thought it looked cool" to which I replied "oh alright Cool man, have a good rest of your workout"
Another time I was paying for a haircut at a local Babershop here and I picked up the barbers business cards and on them the straight razor and scissors were placed to look like the S&C, I was new to town and still looking for brothers, so I asked if he was a Mason at first he said yes and after talking to him and some of his answers to my questions had us both confused I realized that he thought I was talking about Operative Masons. His whole family are Stone workers.

I would never attempt to do this because if the other guy was anything like me I would probably get hurt!you can image the impression "taking their Light" would make - it would make us appear like a street gang.
