Last week during a larger personal discussion, the lady I'd dreamed of having a future with brought up the issue of our "secrets." Her main points were: a) mates should have NO secrets between them, period, and b) anything good should be able to bear the light of day, and be open to all She's...

Good question... don't see why they shouldn't be.

Well, I am. Masonry requires that members believe in a Supreme Being, and Deists do. If you wish, will be happy to discuss Deism -- but please either IM or create a new topic to avoid co-opting this one.

That's a bit harsh, brother. Many things change over time.

I am a Deist, and there are no Deist churches. Hmmm... this brings a new poll question to mind.

A sad situation indeed. The only way such a decision from the KoC Council makes sense to me is if they deem other faiths to be illegitimate. Does anyone know if such is the case?

Might've prevented the need for a per-capita increase! :)

Wasn't suggesting it brother -- just saying it is an option.

It can make them... unique.

They could always install a cell phone jammer... but I, too, don't see the problem with posting election results as they come available. If they're having a problem with cell phones going off, why not simply make a public announcement before proceedings begin, reminding everyone to turn them off...

Would be weird referring to a woman as "brother" though...

Bring up the dialer, hold down the pound key for a few secs. Silences most cell phones. It IS bad form to leave the ringer on while in a properly tiled lodge. OTOH, in my lodge, ringers are often drowned out by passing trains honking, as a track runs directly behind the building.

Multiple choice would be better.

Oh, come on... we all think it :)

Gee... where have I heard that line before? :D

Quite a few brothers in my lodge have CHL's (sometimes referred to as CCL's) as well -- including myself. I think this is less about being Masons and more about being Texans! :)

Indeed... and as I hear through the grapevine, GM Carnes has little patience for petty or frivolous Masonic charges. We brothers should always work toward being better, but never lose sight of the fact that we are flawed human beings, and are still sometimes going to act like it.

Why does the last post keep coming up as new?

[Trying to picture how that would be done exactly]
