And I would love to have a RV to get in and leave Georgia for about 3 months and just travel!
My wife has never participated in any Masonic activity. She's not opposed to it, just doesn't care. She told me "I don't drag you to my quilting stuff, don't expect me to go to your Masonic stuff."If you were established financially and are of good moral character, you should be fine! How does your wife feel about it if you don't mind me asking? It's taken almost a year for my wife to want to go to the family night dinner with me lol. I guess she really didn't understand or want to find out what it really was about.
That sounds about right!My wife has never participated in any Masonic activity. She's not opposed to it, just doesn't care. She told me "I don't drag you to my quilting stuff, don't expect me to go to your Masonic stuff."
True, you decide how involved that you want to be.Time commitment is how much u want to put in it.
Also true.if your an officer then theres a bit more.
Therein lies the crux of a lot of problems I read about. The problem for a candidate, is he has no direct experience to apply to the discussion, unless he has a close friend or family member who is already a member... You can solve the problem easily by just promising your wife that if you see anything in the ceremonies which looks satanic or evil, you'll quit. Solves the problem. I made myself the same promise, and I've been a Freemason for 14 years and have led lodges three times as the WM.If my wife trusted the internet more than me there would be a whole other discussion going on...
Lol!!!! Yeah, no kidding!If my wife trusted the internet more than me there would be a whole other discussion going on...
This is exactly the promise that I made to her and myself.You can solve the problem easily by just promising your wife that if you see anything in the ceremonies which looks satanic or evil, you'll quit.
Congratulations Brother! I am very happy for you.I just wanted to update everyone. I petitioned and was accepted in August. I was initiated in the EA degree this past Monday. What a great experience! I tried to pay attention to everything said and done during but may have missed one or two things. Thanks for everyone's support.
II was initiated in the EA degree this past Monday.
Congratulations Brother! You will enjoy the journey. Make it your plan to be active in the lodge and serve wherever needed.I just wanted to update everyone. I petitioned and was accepted in August.

Don't worry I don't think anybody catches everything as they are going through it. I know I sure didn't it was mainly a blur going through it and just trying to make sure you didn't mess up. But when you get to watch them is when I have learned and working to learn the different chairs. I was going to be the junior master of ceremonies but was also learning the guide's part for the first degree and ended up being the guide for our lodge's candidate on Tuesday night. Now I'm working on learning the guide's part for the second degree for when he gets his second.I tried to pay attention to everything said and done during but may have missed one or two things.
