Cool, thanks! I'll dig that one up and check the video out... BB

It's been on a lot of news broadcasts, but only a couple have broadcast the reference to Freemasons. You can probably go to YouTube and search House Stenographer and find it... BB

I was watching the vote in the House of Representatives tonight (Oct 16) on the bill to reopen the government and I saw a couple guys drag a woman away from the microphone in front of the Speaker's Podium. When the news broadcast it later using the sound track from that microphone, the lady -...

Depends on you and your instructor. You should feel you are ready to turn in your proficiency and advance, but your instructor must also feel you've learned your material and are ready to advance. Do move quickly, but do learn the material. Having said that, I took almost a year to turn in my...

Look up "The Cyberlodge". If you want to join, be prepared to prove your standing.

True, that. It does have an interesting history and purpose though....

One that I belong to is the Tranquility Lodge #2000. http://tl2k.org/ (That link should work). S&F BroBill

I send out an "E-Trestleboard" a few days before each of our York Rite Chapter and Council Stated Meetings and then I post a copy in our FaceBook "closed" group. We have a public-facing FaceBook page (helotesyorkrite) and within that account I've created a "closed" group that is invitation...

Awesome.... Love it...

First, take as long as you like or need to take another step in your masonic journey- if you rush yourself you will not appreciate the work of the other bodies nearly as much as if you take that step when you decide the time is right. Second, I joined both SR and YR. The Scottish Rite has...

Chapters and Councils work as lodges do, they set their dues in accordance with income requirements and directed minimums. Helotes bodies are $30 each- Chapter and Council. S&F

We've got you in our address book and we'll keep you informed if we plan a spring festival. We always have room for brethren! S&F BroBill

Thank you! Yes, it was tough, but it was a great day made easier with the help of many great companions from several Chapters/Councils working together!

The Companions of Helotes York Rite, with the assistance of companions from Blue Bonnet Chapter/Council and Army Chapter/Council, greeted 10 new companion York Rite Masons at a festival on Saturday, September 28th at Helotes Masonic Lodge. The first degree began at 7:45AM and the last degree was...

The two major "lineages" of masonry are the two rites, Scottish and York. Texas masonry follows the York lineage and the Blue Lodge degrees are in fact the first three York Rite degrees. If you take your remaining York Rite degrees, you'll see the same form of degrees that convey "the rest of...

Omala is specifically San Antonio's Grotto. They took their name by spellimg Alamo backwards. BroBill

I am in total agreement with this. There is a path and if enough brethren want it and support the legislative change, we can formally incorporate it. S&F BroBill

I view it as revealing degree work from other masonic bodies where the brethren swore they "will not reveal the secrets of this degree to anyone....". In this case those secrets are being revealed to a candidate not even initiated yet. To me, each organization is charged to maintain, protect...

Agree... Texas Blue Lodges are chartered to confer EA, FC, and MM. They are not chartered to utilize or confer parts of degrees found and conferred in other masonic organizations. S&F BroBill

It is true. The Grand Master has said absolutely NO to the use of a CoR in any Blue Lodge. It is properly part of degrees in other masonic bodies. He has pulled at least one charter so far.
