I have. I moved to Georgia a couple of years ago.

Pardon the lateness of my reply. The information has been added to the OP. Thank you, Brother Baxter.

Added information regarding Moosup Lodge #113 and their Mountain Lodge meeting. Also, last weekend, I was able to attend Georgia's 60th annual Rock Quarry meeting, where two MM degrees were conferred. The degree was acted out in full (meaning the lecture, too) -- something I've never seen...

One of the Brothers in the lodge I attend is from South Carolina. I'll ask him about it at our next meeting. It could be something specific to AFM Lodges.

My intent, here, is not to put you on trial for what you've said. It's just that it's difficult for me to understand how you feel about this man, because your statements appear contradictory to me. A lot of these quotes are at odds with each other (in my opinion). And from the sound of the...

How do you reconcile that statement with the Charges in the EA Degree? It's a question I've had for a while.

Added the Cove Waterfall outdoor degree to the list. I'm looking for more information on it, and will be contacting some of the lodges involved in the morning. It looks like it happens in May. edit: If anyone else has come across any other interesting lodge events, feel free to share so that...

I just gave a very small lecture on this last month in lodge. A lot of words in the catechism are paired with like-words. "Hele" and "conceal" are two (depending on your jurisdiction). They are synonyms, as has been pointed out, but the former is Anglo-Saxon, and the latter is Norman...

Thanks for the information, everyone. You're making me wish I had never left DFW. I just talked with someone over here, and it sounds like they do seven degrees in-full where I'm at in Georgia. I'm guessing that the others are read. There's nothing wrong with that, but I was kind of hoping...

This is going to sound like an odd question (or series of questions), and I'm thinking it'll be best if I ask someone out here locally, but: When the Scottish Rite gets together for their reunions and confers degrees, how does that typically go? If it's a two day reunion, do they do roughly...

Thank you for the response. When presented, we would be tiled. I contacted their Secretary, and he said that it should be fine. Thanks again for responding.

First, I have to ask what the proper name is for the Secretary's log book. Is it just called the log book? The minutes? Anyway, my real question is: is it against the rules to get a copy of a page from this book? I'm asking, because I'm going to be presenting an account from the Civil...

A Pilgrim's Path by John Robinson pretty much refutes every conclusion that they have jumped to; it's just not well known. Anything left over that Brother Robinson doesn't address could have been taken care of if the authors of that paper hadn't cherry-picked all their information. For every...

I listed that it happens in June. They have a website. I'll put the link to it in the OP here in a little bit. Official site: http://www.daythewarstopped.net/

Sure. I'll add it in. Thank you. Edit: Updated Edit2: Also added information regarding Georgia's "Sand Pit" and Louisiana's "The Day the War Stopped" (this event is particularly interesting).

Brother jwhoff, I have updated the thread with the information regarding the Battleship Texas. Thank you for that. Brother relapse, I'm not in the Scottish Rite, so I don't have a lot of working knowledge regarding what you're talking about. Are you referring to Symbolic Lodge degree work, or...

Thanks to some of the members of Clarence H. Cohen Lodge #749 in Georgia this morning, I was given enough information to find out more on the Oklahoma Masonic Indian Degree Team. I've updated their entry and created a "Traveling" section for them (since they travel to confer degrees). For...

Just an update here. I brought this idea up in lodge this morning, and I half-expected there to not be a lot of interest in it. I mentioned that anyone interested could talk with me about it in the dining hall after the close of our meeting. Well, roughly six of the fifteen or so Brothers at...

Have you talked to Clair or Paul about it, maybe? I can't imagine either of them not being supportive of the idea. Doug, too. Of course, they'll put you in charge of it and make it your responsibility, but that's a good thing.
