After many years of saying I was going to do it, I finally tested this week and got my call sign this morning!

Well, how did your visit go?

Boooo!

Did you want to discuss the actual issue of recognition with PHO or just greeting card quotes?

Seems like every few years we get someone joining this forum trying to make an argument that PHA shouldn't be irregular/clandestine. That isn't what determines regularity. Also not the issue with PHO. No need to attribute actions to the devil that were clearly taken by men and their ego.

Greetings from Maine!

Rotary and Lions are not Masonic. Our organizations are not connected. You've been given the only advice we can give. Nobody on this forum can connect you with anyone.

Never going to happen. Nobody on this internet forum can help you join the Freemasons. That isn't how it works. You have to live somewhere that has active Lodges and ask them. Unfortunately, you live in Jordan where they operate very discretely because of the Muslim fundamentalists. Last I...

Have a nice day. Sorry I wasn't able to help you understand how Recognition works.

Sorry. But you are wrong on this one. The GLofSC can choose not to recognize them but they are Regular. I don't think you have a good grasp of the terminology regarding Regularity and Recognition. And, the Grand Lodge de France is considered Regular by many Mainstream Grand Lodges though they...

Prince Hall in SC is Regular. By virtue of the fact that they adhere to the Ancient Landmarks and conduct themselves in every respect as Regular Freemasons. The MWPHGLofSC is not Recognized by the mainstream GLofSC for whatever reason they have stated among themselves of which I am not interested.

Prince Hall is Regular. South Carolina's approval isn't required.
