Not meant to insult you brother and if it was received that way, I apologize. I just gave my opinion and that's all it is.. nothing more.. nothing less. As I always say "It's GREAT to be MASON".

That's why I made my comment about it not really being a fair question at that point in time. Here is a person that's brand new, ony knows what he's read about Masons or has been told about this "group" of men. He's interested enough that he'd like to learn more by requesting to join this...

Thank you brother.

Only advice I can give is if this is what you want GO FOR IT and don't give up. It will get easier and you'll develop "an ear" for it as well while you're learning. I started back in the 60s and my buddy and I had the typical teenager's dream of doing the "WORLD TOUR" one day. LOL Hey, it's...

Workshops seem to be taking off quite nicely. So far all is going well and other lodges are showing interest. My question I'd like to address here just to see how it's done in lodges around Texas...... what is your process AFTER a petition is filled & completed by the needed signatures...

Too many hypotheticals. Not realistic to present to a petitioner who probably doesn't even know about Worshipful Master much less about Freemasonry. It's like asking if 2 soldiers were injured laying on the ground & one was a close friend, only one could be saved.... who would you save? I just...

Looks to be about the right size tube to contain a Goat Riding Crop. :53::001_rolleyes:

Hey Bro Tom, send me a PM when you get a chance. I sent you one earlier, but it doesn't appear that you received it from me. JerryB

Wylie, Tx East Fork Lodge #650 I was actually raised in Augusta, GA Flemming Lodge #718 back in '85 while in military. After retiring and settling down in Wylie, I moved everything to Texas. Also joined Hella Shrine in Garland and with the Clown unit, Hosp Transportation Unit and now...

Pleased to say that our Lodge has started Investigations workshops and so far it's proving to be a "long time wanted/needed" topic. We've held a couple of workshops and now surrounding lodges have requested us to bring the workshop to their lodge. I feel that this is a good step forward and...

Thanks for the compliment brother. I really do like the design as well and having the hobby that I do, I decided to give it a try. It came out pretty nice and I didn't even have to paint it up. ha I actually carve quite a few masonic/Shriner plaques and lots of other stuff too. We have a...

nice design... I carved it a few months ago...

I believe that because there is no true directive on conducting investigations in Texas, then the confusion (for some), own interpretations, methods will continue which in my opinion is still not moving us forward TOGETHER when it comes to masonic investigations. It will continue to be ...

We encourage our Shriners to wear their Fez when visiting a Shriner Hospital. It's not mandated, but highly encouraged. It let's visitors and others see who we are and part of "the team" that supports and finances everything that happens in these hospitals. With me personally, it's a matter of...

My question is ..... Is the GLoT Investigations Manual just a guide OR is it something the MUST be followed. We all have our own opinions about it, but what is the GLoT ruling on the Manual? I and others are giving Investigations workshops and we use the GLoT manual, but some get in to a play...

Does that mean that a guide by the GLoT does not have to be abided by? I did notice the seal on the first page .... Reason I ask is that we are going to start having Masonic Investigations workshops. By having a guide from GLoT does that mean one does or does not have to follow the document...

It's only vce versa. one would think the Pope would change this.

is this a clip from the Michigan lodge? lol

Sadly my lodge frowns upon persons with alot of tattoos. I personally find it hypocritical & contrary to the oath. One visiting mason was told that his attire was not good enough to attend a stated meeting. Yet a month earlier he was invited along with others & recognized as a 50yr mason. His...

just curious if the lodge was PHA or Mainstream. Either way it hurts, but just curious.
