Directed Energy? You mean like Ley Lines and Pyramid Power? I'd LOVE to belong to that body!

Why would anyone think that anything posted on an internet forum wouldn't be viewed by the public?

The commission on information for recognition, which is a committee of the Conference of Grand Masters of North America, defines regularity as involving three principles. "Legitimacy of origin" means that a body is directly descended from either the United Grand Lodge of England (or it's two...

In that case, I think Carlos7270 can tell this Grand Matron anything he cares to. Unless his organization has written laws, in which case he should probably consult them.

Did the MWPHGLoT consult with the Grand Lodge of the Cote d'Ivoire before doing this?

The other day I compared the regulations on officers aprons to my lodge's set, and found that we didn't comply. Somebody needs to tell Macoy Supply that they have a problem there. Tom Ball pm Llano Grande 1173

I have two thoughts on this. First of all, I gathered when this first hit the fan, that the mason in question was also a member in Iowa, and that the Grand Lodge of Iowa had not revoked his membership in response to the action by the GLoA. If that hasn't changed, then it really complicates the...

There was a small sideshow to this, as I recall...the man in question had dual membership in Iowa, but the GL of Iowa didn't expell him. Or do I have the story wrong?

The version of M and D that's being distributed now is the Annotated Morals and Dogma, edited by Art DeHoyos. Somewhat easier to read because of its internal organization and, even more wonderful, it shows the sources Pike was quoting.

Let me insert a little perspective here. The Scottish Rite has gone through a lot of changes in its long history. In the twentieth century, the requirement that you had to be either a 32nd degree mason or a Knight Templar to join the Shrine influenced the Rite's practices quite a bit. A lot of...

along with SR initiation also comes membership in the Master Craftsman program, which is a bargain at any price.

In the Grand Lodge of Texas, AF&AM, we decide whether to recognize a Grand Lodge on the basis of three criterion: regularity of origin, regularity of practice, and conformity to the principle of jurisdictional exclusivity. As to origin, a Grand Lodge (to be recognized byt he GLoT) must show...

The image doesn't actually have a stripper pole. The woman depicted on it is wearing something skin-tight...perhaps a leotard. Shows some cleavage. She is crouching, and appears to be scratching her head, or adjusting her hair. The members of the WS who have commented on our concerns about...

I plan to visit Yosemite in mid-October. I see that there are some nearby lodges, such as Merced and Mariposa, however neither their websites nor that of the GLo California say when they meet. Is there anybody here that can give me that information? Tom Ball PM-Llano Grande 1173

If you want to really get back to basics, why not get a hand-painted carpet for each degree?

We entirely plan to rule the world. Right after we figure out how to rule the 800 or so lodges in the Grand Lodge of Texas.

I think my lodge is special. My dress reflects my feelings.

Grand Cross of the Court of Honour.

There is a display on him at the Lee Lockwood Scottish Rite Library in Waco. When you say "I believe he was inspector general," I'm not sure what you mean. I don't think he was the SGIG in Texas, but the 33rd degree IS Inspector General. He has an entry in Denslow's "10,000 Famous...
