A good way to become more comfortable in what will happen is to ask to be part of an examination committee. In your own lodge. Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

I think my lodge dues are too low. Here's why: My lodge has several fundraisers each year that some of the brethren enjoy working on. We use these monies to support our community support programs. (Reading incentive program for Elementary School children, and a scholarship for High Schoolers)...

Re: Wife having a problem with Freemasonry, she wa I don't believe that this is a control issue. I believe it is based in fear. She has a honest fear for his spiritual life based on incorrect information. Natural human response to the unknown is fear. The tool to eliminate ignorance is...

Re: Wife having a problem with Freemasonry, she wa This is a similar problem that I have seen in my own life. My grandfather was a mason for 68 years. I became a mason last year, I am 44, so my grandfather has been a mason my whole life. When I was about 7 my mother started bringing me to...
