I was just reading Article 225b which permits the use of a Lodge Room by Fraternities that can show that their Fraternity and initiation was founded or influenced by a master Mason. It has to be approved by the WM, a MM that is a member of both Fraternities has to be present at all times and...

You know...I never thought about that. That is a profound thought/observation...

Article 505(3)...THANK YOU SIR!!! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!!??!! :drool::53:

I think that he is also saying that it can't be used for commercial-use...wonder where it's codified. If it was turned into regulation (primer: Congress writes laws, which are codified in the United States Code [or U.S.C.], then they delegate the responsibility of explaining those laws to the...

Well I just purchased an apron from www.lodgeaprons.com. After a lot of contemplation and battling the urge to get something that was nice and embroidered (with a little mentorship from Brother Lins); I've ordered a white cloth apron with a white belt (instead of ties). I've decided to maintain...

I was most impressed by him. He comes across as a truly square Brother. He actually sends the finished aprons to the customer prior to payment. Only after the customer receives the apron and accepts it does he ask for payment. This Fraternity is a beautiful thing. You won't find business men...

The article reads that that is for "regulation aprons"...I have not found a reference citing a requirement for "regulation aprons" to be worn or when. I was actually just talking with a Brother in Georgia that makes standard as well as custom aprons. (His name is Jack Faubian and here's the...

Guess what I got in the mail today...it rhymes with Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas Raw Book. [To be continued...]

Bummer...I was waiting for somebody to jump on and say, "I'm the Brother...don't let me catch you speeding again. We'll meet for coffee on Tuesday." Maybe that's just the sappy-side of me. Well, now I'm subscribed to this thread--so when it happens--I'll know!

Brothers, please don't be baited into this conversation. This man is an anti-mason and is clearly trying to provoke in-fighting between Brethren.

It's a conspiracy I say! The Royal Guild of Seamstresses is clearly plotting to catch unexpecting Entered Apprentice Masons off-guard. They get their money AND he gets black-balled...wait, maybe they just want the money.

I haven't been able to get to another Lodge. Fortunately I've been able to attend Lodge every week. My Brothers have been great at opening in the EA as much as possible and even not opening a Lodge to hold informal meetings and training that I can attend. I'm blessed to have found such a great...

Brother Porter has brought up an interesting point. Similar to the Sanctum Sanctorum channel on this forum, could there be a channel for verified Masons? Sounds tedious as hell, but once the first (huge) wave of masons it would be minimal to maintain. I'd be willing to assist in verifying for...

I reread the statute/rule again and it seems like these would not be allowed. So why are they sold (especially in the Texas size)? And where would they be used? Blue bordered apron with S&C on the bib. EDIT: After looking into it further, the only aprons offered in Texas size are white member...

We just moved to Grapevine, which is really great. It would be a 30-40 minute commute on the tollway. Eventually 635 construction will be completed and that will make the commute much more bearable. I haven't been to the local Lodge (I'm at Sam P. Cochran #1335 in Dallas, but plan to check it...

It may not be pretty... :1:

Looks like he entered the building and tried to cut right. If that telephone pole hadn't been there he might have gotten away...

That was pretty sweet. I'll have to look for "The Bourne Vivaldi"...the cleverness of the name is worth buying the album alone.

Welcome! I was in Glasgow last year and I'm already itching to go back! You'll find the Bretheren here to be straight-forward and great at pointing you to the right sources. Many are from Texas as well as around the U.S, Canada, England, Australia, etc., and you've got Scotland covered. I look...
