It’s a waste of time trying to prove a negative; one would be better off presenting “positive proofâ€. It reminds me of the dilemma from pre-law: Do you still beat your wife? The answer given results in a preposterous summation; either I’m glad to see that you stopped beating your wife...

Should we be concerned; only if we are concerned about quantity and not quality. It appears that any actions taken by the cgmna hasn't seemed to have stemmed this tide. Yes I’m concerned, some jurisdictions are completely eliminating the memory work, while others are implementing ODCs, while...

Sweeeet!

I just examined a lot of statistical data regarding Masonic Retention. It appears (without mortality even entering into the picture) our losses stem from demits and suspension for nonpayment of dues, or dropout. Dropout being classified as those brethren through nonpayment of dues have fashioned...

I have to concur... And the best model to emulate is, Hollywood?

First off, I owe an apology to those brethren that choose to take umbrage with my derogatory term (which I will not use again). Although context is everything, it was meant to be humorous in that context. (See guarding the west gate allusion and that particular candidate.) Making a mason on...

And maybe some should realise that Masonry is not for everyone; the time, discipline and dedication are not what all individuals can achieve. Then there are others whom just want to become Shriners that will never set foot in a blue lodge again (let alone their mother lodge). I recently was...

None of us are perfect, that wasn't the point. That's why I stated the part of being a $mart a$$; sorry! I too was against that change; but things becoming what they are now and will be, they might not have a choice. As mentioned here things need to change and change fast, if we intend to...

Correction if I may, Bro. Stewart: Just a Master Mason; nothing more, nothing less is required. (And this too will change). I'm not trying to be a $mart a$$, I just thought you might want to know...

Here we go; let's get back on the topic shall we? You as a moderator should know better than this. No P&M here, I've said my piece. Y'all go beat this to death all you want.

Nice try, but I will not rise to the bait. You'll have to consult with all of the other Brethren here that have all of that inner working knowledge. I have made statements about the oganisation that this thread is about. As far as knowledge regarding the fraternity worldwide this magazine...

you're assuming that anyone needs the permission of TGLoT to exist, not true. Everyone else didn't need their permission either. If that's the way they want it; who am I? Welcome to isolation!

As far as I'm concerned; never going to happen. If Texas chooses to live in the dark ages, so be it. As I have said before no one should have to kiss up to exist. That's all I'll say about the subject.

I see... Like using peace and harmony as a tool for refusal to change or; the changing of Masonry in any way... But back to the subject matter title; I see from the latest copy of the magazine (on loan from my brother; who is not in this banned jurisdiction lest we read anything that might be...
