I haven't heard anything about this since the Shrine letter. Has anyone else?

I has Pfizer faucet in our tub and it was the same issue. I took it apart and it was just a spring that I cleaned up, made sure it moved freely and problem solved. I am not a plumber, but an also not afraid to try most diy projects. That one saved me 300 bucks for the sake of a spring.

My windows box will not recognize an external iomega hard drive. The bios does, but not windows. I an pretty sure the drive is about to fail, but I cannot access it with any data recovery program. Any suggestions?

@txmason ... I agree. We are stronger together than we ever could be apart. I have been after our lodge to do more in our local coommunity and be more visible, but some prefer a more low key approach. For that reason sometimes it seems the Lodge does not get the credit it deserves. Shriners do...

The Shrine did acknowledge in it prior to this order and in the case of the Grand Lodge of Arkansas the person in question even demitted from the Shrine prior to the review of his case by the Shriners in June in an effort to satisfy the Grand Lodge to no avail. Not so simple to satisfy some...

I look beyond the organization, but to the work that they do. The people making the decisions on each side are Masons. If there is a split I do not see either side winning and both will be hurt in the end. Membership in Freemasonry and the Shrine will decline as the total membership will be...

I have no idea, but he has to act in the interest of the local Shrine Center. What that means who knows. I do not think it would be right to have local Shrine Centers under the control of the Grand Lodges especially since Masons themselves approved not to have it that way. btw @txmason ...tea...

This truly seems like a power grab by the grand Master in Arkansas. I see no reason why he will not reverse his decision now. Where is the Masonic behaviour one would expect? A sad day.

I have just read a letter from the Imperial Potentate regarding the Arizona situation. If the facts are indeed as he understands them I have some misgivings about how these things went down. The complaint was brought by a person who was not party to the event, the complaint was initially...

Like is the morals on which Freemasonry were built. All level under the square, fellowship, rituals. Dislike...politics, empathy and people who claim to espouse the values of Freemasonry but their actions tell a different story

The first I heard of this was here. I am in Canada and when I mentioned it many of the Masons I mentioned it to were not happy. When I mentioned it to a member of oit Divan at out local Shrone Center they had never heard of Shriners wanting to drop the Masonic member requirement. I would be...

wow I am a Master Mason and a Shriner and i find this all very disturbing. I joined the Shriners because of the cause and that was to help children in dire need.Whenever I got tired of the politics it was one of the things that helps keep me grounded. At least from what I have read in the...

I think Mac has a point. There is a lot of politics in many lodges. It can sometimes make for a frustrating experience. I believe in the fellowship Freemasonry brings and truly feel I am a better person because of the rules Freemasonry teaches us, but sometimes the politics & bureaucracy almost...

Dues at my Canadian Lodge At out Lodge our dues are 50 dollars a year and we do not have an endowment. We do fundraisers throughout the year and our Lodge is in good shape financially.

Excellent post and couldn't agree more!!

Congratulations Brother. I became a Shriner in Mazol 2 years ago. It has been a very worthwhile experience knowing you are helping children with your work. I am sure you will enjoy it.

Congrats to you both brothers from a brother in Canada.

Greetings Brothers, i am writing from Canada. All too often many organizations are taken advantage of by their own. I have asked for improvements many times in how are funds are controlled and audited . All too often however it appears to be more of an attitude of it wont happen to us. I hope it...
