Wearing the S&C in Public I'm not ashamed at all. I wear my ring 24/7 and always tell people I'm a mason when asked.

There are many more memorable moments to come brother! Congrats!

Gotcha. What is it that makes these GLs clandestine? Do they not have a proper warrant and charter? Or is more than just that?

Coincidence.

Brother jones, what do you mean by a 4 letter grand lodge? Just curious that's all.

I do it all. Tilling, planting, pruning, clipping, raising, harvesting and processing(preserving/jarring). It really is a special experience raising plants. Tranquility is the result. When your raise plants, your putting your love and care into the plant just like raising a child. Watching...

Restore it and use for its original purpose; to give shelter to those that can't afford it or who can't take care of themselves. I'd gladly donate money to that cause. I don't think a museum would stay a float. You would need more than just masons to visit to keep it alive. If became a museum...

Old Vienna baby all the way.

Brotherly love at its best

We really don't have this issue up here in Ontario, but all Canadian masons are aware of the issues that PHA Masons are having. Quite a shame that this is continuing to happen. I think brother Bowden is a very courageous man for doing what he is, and I know there are others on this forum to that...

Congrats brother.

Great!

That's a lot of phones.

Interesting piece of information Bryan. Maybe masonry does influence these trends. I'm sure religion has an impact on these numbers too. States that have a higher religious population would probably have a lower teen pregnancy rate, as well as abortion rate. But perhaps those states where higher...

Awesome
