    Past Grand Masters of Louisianna

    Does anyone have or know where to get a list of past grand masters of Louisianna? I have a friend whose grandfather we think may have been a PGM there or at least a grand Officer. Thanks

    Non christian Master of the lodge

    Bible has to be up there, but what you saw last night I think will be the standard from now on as long as I'm in the East.

    Grand Hailing Sign of Distress

    Without question, give aid. It also would not hurt to render aid even if the sign is not given.

Brotherly love, relief, & truth should have no jurisdictional barriers.

    Cell phone use in the Lodge

    I text all the time from the my station in the west. A lot of time if it is in a degree, it is to make changes that otherwise cannot be said aloud or when one cannot move about the lodge room. I do not find it a disrespectful thing unless it causes a disturbance.

    What would you like to see changed in Masonry?

    Ok, I'll say it again in layman's terms: Don't that much to where you become intoxicated. If you have to get intoxicated every time you drink, it might not be a good idea to drink in the first place. Has that ever been an issue in other jurisdictions where it is allowed? Its a rule left over...

    What would you like to see changed in Masonry?

    -Stewards being exempt from dues is a personal opinion that goes with the individual lodge, not a state-wide rule. My experience as a steward for 2yrs, in 2 lodges at the same time, was a tough job. Just suggesting for that term that they gave to the lodge in that position. Guess I should ask...

    What would you like to see changed in Masonry?

    I will say: Better attendance for meetings. Stewards exempt from paying dues. Repeal the archaic "No alcohol" rule. Recognition of PHA. Endowment eligibility moved to 20yrs of membership or for any PM.
