Bryan...it is most certainly not about sweeping anything under the rug, but quite the opposite. To put those feelings aside while in open lodge so as to not disturb the peace and harmony of the lodge and to gather further light into Freemasonary. That, in my opinion, is what makes Freemasonary...

I think the light as perscribed by the article in question is being lost in a debate of Christianity and Islam. Someone please tell me if I am wrong, but the article appears to say that on the floor of the lodge your religious background does not matter for all Masons are brothers. That is very...

A fantastic post. This should be required reading for all new brothers.

Very Nice :-) .I haven't looked yet and not sure I am ready to leap from the android world with the purchase like an iPad. If I don't see a competitor coming soon with comparable specs who knows.

via Android app. One good thing leads to another :-)

It is doubtful that apple will release another iPad this year. There have been plenty of improvements in the iPad hd or iPad 3 as it is called to ward of the competition. As you are already an apple fan the choice for tablet brand would be obvious:-) . With the iPad 2 only dropping 100 bucks I...

My Brother...we are not arguing, but discussing. There is no harm in that. :-) . I fund raise on a regular basis for our local Shrine Center. I sell tickets, call Bingo and support my local Shrine club. At the same time I support my local lodge in whatever activities it pursues. I enjoy them...

The only issue I see with the Shriners for example is that it has created an organziation (Childrens Hospitals) which even though created by Masons could not just shut down tomorrow if all Grand Lodges de-recognized them. In that respect and that respect only it has outgrown the sum of its...

Some great points Masonic Knight. I am starting to think that there should be a period of time after becoming a Mason before that person can join other Masonic bodies. Work in your lodge first! This may allow for a better appreciation of what the lodge offers before joining the Shrine or other...

got it running in a vmware session. not sure what to think of it yet

In NL Canada it is unanimous. It is not too often one gets blackballed, but it has happened. I feel we must trust our brothers to do the right thing when voting on a candidate. When I was voted on there were two other brothers that were business rivals already members. They could have...

Me too...lol. Actually I tried a iphone 3GS and sold it to get a blackberry as I was using email quite a bit and just found a blackberry better. I was a blackberry user til last fall when I looked at the Samsung S2X and ended up with it. Great phone , but wished I would have waited for Galaxy...

Welcome Brother...you will find brethren from all of the world on this excellent board. I had a similar situation so I went to the website and updated it there.

Re: Your Prediction: Texas Freemasonry in 5-10 Years Brothers, I apologize for butting in on a thread that is meant for Texas, but the issues you are having with respect to membership are commonplace everywhere it seems. I was raised 3 short years ago and as I look around my lodge the average...

Nice post...I guess this should work ont he ipad 3 when it is released? What do you think?

As much as I would like to go with the mac on a laptop I cannot see me going with the mobile products. I liek the ability to customize and apple is not know for allowing that on their mobile products. Until that changes I will stay with Android. No promises on the other laptop though. That could...

What I have found is that the the active members in my blue lodge handful joined our local Shrine club as well. Making both organizations in my area effective organizations to be in.

Exactly

Sounds like a busy night. Great thinking with the candles btw. Would never have thought of that. The bumbling happens too all of us. We learn from it and do our best to make sure it doesn't happen a second time. At least not in the same spot :D. In our lodge we have always done our business in...

You definitely did the right thing. I would think that would be universal wherever you attend a lodge meeting.
