We ran the Communists out of Texas with the Comanches! So no need to ask that here.:biggrin: We must that sent them to Louisiana and Kentucky.:24: Seriously though, asking questions like that sort of takes away from the importance of the other more realistic questions.

If I were a young fellow looking to advance through the degrees with excitment and a level of precision to the work, I would want to know how good the lodge's educational program and ritual work was. By educational program I mean the one on one teaching of candidates (both the work and the tenets).

Brother, there's nothing wrong with sheading a tear for a young life lost to soon on our behalf.

Yes there are lodges that are better than others, for a whole host of reasons. Now determining which one is better out of a group is difficult, because Masons don't and/or shouldn't talk bad about each other or other lodges. Do you know members of the various lodges? I take it you live in...

I think all the questions should be asked on all of the petitons (initiation, reinstatement, affiliation).

I am with brother Tidwell, I don't think its very tasteful for anyone other than family to take photos of those who have passed. Much less publicize them. I think this was a photo opportunity and would disagree with it no matter who the politician was.

Sounds to me like there are two of them, but they won't sign his petition. Pete - I assume you have asked them, I don't see how knowing you professionally and personally should make a difference when it comes to signing the petition. There are plenty of guys that I work with that I don't...

Seems to me that his decison had a racial basis and no a legal basis at all. Stupid decision on the part of the DOJ. I think small town elections would be much better without parties. In my small town as in others in TX (and probably the big towns) things get all screwed up at primary...

Apparently Oklahoma has an overall degree team, too. http://www.country-boys.org/country-boys/index.htm

I agree with you. I really don't care for the name or the site, unless it is just a group for masons who happen to also be christians or vice versa. But to use either group to promote the other is wrong IMO. I believe that masonry is free of any religion. Oh, there are "religious" elements...

I believe it started with operative stone masons in guilds and grew into a speculative craft as non-operative individuals were allowed to join. As others have indicated, those operative masons guilds could go way back even before King Solomon's Temple. It is also reasonable to believe that the...

Welcome

Prayers sent!

Cool!

Thats incorrect. We descrimate against several groups. When it comes to joining our fraternity atheists, criminals and folks with severe mental issues to name a couple. We don't allow masonic dealings with clandestine, suspended or expelled masons. Agreed!

FYI Brothers - http://www.thephylaxis.org/bogus/johnjones.php As a member of the Grand Lodge of Texas this is my last post to this thread. Moderators, do as your conscience dictates!

Right on! One of the great things about freemasonry is that it is ancient.

Welcome!

Thank You! For those of you who are for this, are there women who are putting pressure on you or asking why they can’t do it? I have known quite a few women who know or are related to Masons, and I have never heard met on that wanted to be a Mason. Likewise, I have know plenty of women...
