I don't believe I would support a woman on a stripper pole being placed next to...or anywhere near the GLs. Those two images don't seem to go together in my mind. I wonder though, would the GloT be able to simply instruct the WS to change that image? It seems like a reasonable request. On a...

Don't feel bad Brother. As an EA you're both entitled and expected to ask as many questions as you can think up. It's our responsibility to field your questions with the best possible answers that we can provide. It's my personal belief that Masonry should find it's way into every part of a...

How far does the Obligation of a Master Mason reach? All the way to the Celestial Lodge would be my knee jerk response there. On the other hand... "that cement which unites us into one common band or society of friends, or brothers among whom no contention should ever exist save for that...

It's part of the Obligation of an MM to obey the edicts of his Grand Lodge. That's as it should be in any Regular Lodge. I just can't understand why any Grand Lodge would issue an edict like this. I think the Craft as a whole would benefit from some good and wholesome instruction on the matter.

jvarnell, I'm just as much at a loss for understanding here as you. I just don't get this. It would seem that the Grand Lodge of Texas is taking the Widow's Sons at "face value" in that they see patches, and motorcycles and assume the group to be nefarious in some why. If this is the case, it...

Brother Matt, Thank you for the most honest and well structured response to my questions that I've received thus far. Truth be told, I'm simply looking for a group with which to ride, and would greatly prefer riding with my Masonic brothers over a group of non-Masons, be they Widow's Sons...

TXmason: Yes, I am a Master Mason. I was Initiated, Pasted and Raised in Lynden International Lodge number 56. Bill: I found the registration part of their website shortly after I posted here. I would like to know if there are any established chapters close to where I live prior to proceeding...

I've contacted the Freemasons motorcycle club, and all I could get from them is "Yes, we have chapters in Washington state, but no, we do not give out information about them to non-members." I'm not sure how they go about getting anybody to join at all...

Fair enough. Would I still be welcome in a Texas Lodge if i were a member?

What questions though? And, what was so egregiously wrong with the group that Texas Masons are forbidden to be members? Texas will all ways be my home, and I wouldn't want to associate with a group considered to be clandestine by the Grand Lodge of Texas. Just let me know.... If they're bad...

Howdy all, I've recently bought my first motorcycle, and I'm well on my way to learning to ride it...without falling over. Being that Masonry has become an important part of my life, I've being poking around the internet looking for Masons with which to ride, and there's where I found the...

hmm...yes, yes....all of your answers were acceptable except that you forgot the Kryptonite ring given to batman by superman in the event superman should ever go astray. He doesn't need time to prepare as he all ways keeps the ring in a secure lead lined pouch on his belt!! You did pick the...

yes, now you wait while you are investigated by the full weight of Freemasonry! So tell me, have you had an molars removed? What's your stance on the whole orange juice VS. apple juice debate? If Batman and Superman got into a fight, who would win? Waffles or pancakes? Fries or onion rings...

LOL I know how you feel with this one man! I really wouldn't worry about it though. You'll find that you may have more in common with the members of your Lodge (assuming you join) than you might think.

I welcome you as a full Brother in the fraternity! From the day you were Raised until the day you take your apron with you to meet the Grand Architect of the Universe you have Brother Master Masons in all corners of the world!
