In some PH jurisdictions the handbook is not coded and in others it is. In Texas PH Masonry it is not therefore no codebook exists. It is a small booklet that contains the first degree lecture and the candidate must memorize it. It will be what they will be quizzed on to prove proficiency.

In some PH jurisdictions the handbook is not coded and in others it is. In Texas PH Masonry it is not therefore no codebook exists.

It is a small booklet that contains the first degree lecture (Q&A including Obligation). Used by the candidate for study (committing it to memory) as they will have to prove proficiency by answering the questions and repeating the obligation.

Sometimes the issue is not with the candidates and the lack of response from the officers gives me the impression that this is the case (saving face by not fessing up making to a mistake). I have an idea what lodge it is and if I am right, they are all new. Everyone is learning on the run and...

I wear a S&C tog tag everyday. I have met a few GLofTx Brothers after they noticed it.

People are already switching and these ideas seem to indicate fear of the trend increasing. I feel only unhappiness would lead a person to change affiliations but we are only looking to learn from each other. These types of ideas would perpetuate the current divide.

I was the one to post it to the Facebook forum. Good luck and keep us posted.

Is the registration form online or available by email?

I was there.

Addressing quote 1: I would love to see full visitation. If you go back through some of my past posts you will find that forMasonry to live up to the obligation we should not have such divisiveness. But just on this site many people havequestioned our legitimacy and have stated that they were...

I will only say that this is a dead issue and that there is more to the story then is being said online. Just reading comments online in this and other forums leads me to believe that though many espouse a dream of masonic visitation, they really don't.

The issue is that none of us (GLOTX and MWPHGLoTX) are beholden to the UGLE. We do not have to seek their permission for anything. This is from the UGLE website: "The United Grand Lodge of England currently has over a quarter of a million members meeting in over 8,000 Lodges, which are...

Look at it like a grade school tiff. I don't like you because my friend doesn't like you. There are at least six grand lodges here in Texas. Two are recognized as being legitimate and the rest clandestine. With the political climate that was in place when the Prince Hall Grand lodge was...

There will be an obstacle only if a person wants to create one. A mention was made about the doctrine of territorial but according to this article on the subject http://bessel.org/exclartl.htm that argument is not valid and also at the moment there are four Grand Lodges there that can make that...

Looks good. I have been using Wordpress for mine. How was Drupal? No distracting elements to clog up the works.

A couple of questions: (1) Does your wife complain about loud snoring? (2) Has she noticed that it seems like you stop breathing for short periods? (3) Do you feel drowsy when sitting in meetings or driving?These are two classic symptoms of sleep apnea. I have been going to Georgetown...

I did the York Rite this Spring and just completed the Scottish Rite last month. A lot of good knowledge gained.

It all depends on how seriously you take your obligations. If you are following the tenets and improving yourself, then yes.

There has been so much negativity from some on here regarding Prince Hall and he did not indicate that he was not a mason. I apologize for being touchy.

Why would our lodges not be considered Blue Lodges?
