Thanks for the presentation. As a Mason, I love to "dive deep" into the Ritual symbols. It is a never end to learing something new. I love this. This is what Masonic education is all about. I will be using this presentation to share with my fellow Lodge memebers. Sometimes we follow along in teh...

It depends on Jurisdictions. I am from Alabama, and we wore top hats. I am living here in Texas and most of them wear Cowboy Hats. For me, I am old school and prefer the hat to be of a leaderships style, i.e. top or fedora type.

Unfortunately it is a "gangsta" culture mentality. That is why it is imperative to screen the applicants. I know back in the day, screening wasn't done too much because it was about the numbers. If you think about the gangs in the way they treat each other or those of the opposition, it was...

I agree with Winter. I am not sure you quite grip what the Brotherhood is or what it is about. I don't mean to sound skittish, but this isn't the Mob where family members are fighting for "power". If your pops and granddad were members, hopefully they were members of a Just and Constituted...
