Maybe the zombie craze is simply a representation of the fear of the mob. Is one zombie scary?
People are afraid that all them (Democrats/Republicans) will get into power and force bad policies down everyone else's throat. Is congress scary if there is just one cranky ideologue? I blame hyper...
I have volunteered to make a Facebook page for my lodge and would like to know if anyone has any tips or pointers they would like to throw my way.
I actually have two distinct entities; the first is a "secret" Facebook group that will include all of the lodge members, wives, petitioners and...
Maybe instead of 'Brother', members from clandestine or unrecognized lodges can be 'Cousin'. They are kindred spirits, with presumably similar philosophical ancestry, even if you don't have the same history with them as with your immediate family(recognized lodges).
My religion teaches that God's plan involves creating and rearing families, and specifically forbids acts of homosexual intimacy. But then again, my religion also teaches that we should love our neighbor and not judge others.
It all depends on the man. I might be against admitting a...
I am both a Mormon and a Mason. I was born and raised in So. California and I was raised (a Mason) in Provo, UT but now live in Texas. Brother Maples, the answer to your question "I was just wanting to know the perception from non mason mormons about how they feel about our fraternity as well...
I think it would be easy to label this brother (because aren't we all brothers and sisters under God?) as "anti-Masonic" and run to find another church, and if you feel uncomfortable there then you are fully justified in doing just that. However, it might just be that he is laboring under some...
That's funny. Apparently, gnarledrose has a signature at the end of every post that says what Lodge he is in but I can't see it because I only access this forum through my iPhone, which apparently doesn't display them. Is that intentional, or a bug? Anyone know?
I am from Utah as well, and it is the same story in our lodge. I was raised in Aug and was asked to serve as Chaplain in Jan. I am sure that if I hadn't told the WM that I would be moving out of state in July, he would have asked me to do something on the line.
As for aspiring to be WM, it...
I am just a member of the blue lodge; I haven't been a Mason long enough to feel i need more. I am sure that eventually I will join both but I am not sure yet which I will join first. York rite is popular at my Lodge, but I like what I have read on the Scottish rite. I have little interest in...
My question is how often do Masons attend Church, relative to the times they attend Lodge. Let's assume that "Lodge" refers to any non-social activity related to Masonry.
I turn it off completely, since I am uncomfortable leaving it in the car and I don't want it distracting me. If it was on silent, I could still use it.
My mother informed me that one of my great-great-great-...grandfathers (can't remember exactly how great) has a S&C on his grave marker...I will not count that since it is so far in the past, and did not affect my decision to join.
Also, I married into a family with Masonic ties, but I had...
My lodge has a Facebook page, in addition to a web page and a blog. It is used primarily for the events feature - I get a notice from Facebook whenever some degree work us scheduled
