I love how there's a bowling alley!

So this is only done in the Southern Jurisdiction?

Gotcha. Thank you brother.

Why would you want to? It's not a Masonic event, and your lodge isn't giving you your diploma...

I'm pretty sure we don't do that in my jurisdiction, as far as I know. We do have proficiency before getting a new degree. What type of questions are you asked?

What is UOL?

"I know that everything happens for a reason, becoming a mason would help me out so much" •. It would help you out if you're doing for the right reasons.

That's great brother. I hope all is well.

Cool

Mf&am? "Using the word Modern in the name of a fake grand lodge is creative. It draws on history. African 459 got its charter from the Moderns before the unification so on the surface it sounds more official. Why anyone would found a clandestine grand lodge is beyond me but I'm not going to...

"Smoked chicken breast. I used hickory wood to get a good strong smoke on the breast. Red onion, celery, and instead of pickle relish (not a pickle fan) I use crushed pineapple (in pineapple juice NOT the heavy syrup), red seedless grapes and Miracle whip. Once you chop and combine all the...

"Thanks for the kind words, Brother. As this year's Senior Deacon, I think its safe to say that I'm serious business bordering on fire and brimstone during the degrees. I'm a speak from the diaphragm sort of fellow and they say they can hear me clearly clear into the lodge room during the...

• Oh, and thank you for your insight Bro. Stewart.

"I can not go into the details of the actual commitment or obligation. I suppose that you can "take it" as far as you deem it. I don't know many non-Christians that would defend Christianity at "all costs" though..." • I gotcha. My family is Christian so I would defend them and their belief and...

"Any God fearing man can be receive the "Order of the Temple" within the York Rite. However, whomever receives this order must profess the "defense of Christianity"... Therefore most non-Christians do not receive the final three Orders(degrees) of YR." • How far does that go though? I would...

"G.A.O.T.U. (Grand Architect of the Universe) used to be referred to as G.O.A.T. (God of All Things) back in the day, for one thing. There are extremes to everything. If the joke is carried too far on one hand, or if people are so up tight about the actual degree that they can't see that the...

"I am curious if a Muslim brother can be a knight because he is not Christian?" • I've been told by the Companions in my RAM Chapter and some of the brethren here that one must be a defender of, and a professing Christian to be a member of any Priory/Commandery of Knights Templar.
