    Masonic Funeral

    How did I miss that nomination. I bet I know of a few PM and a lodge that might support that nomination :D. Do I have to be a PM to second it?

    Religion and the Masonic Lodge

    I'm the no vote. :D The basis of Masonry is based in religion. Some will refer to it as spirituality others as religion but it has the same basis. Now I do not think we should discuss a type of religion. It is the specific religion that is considered divisive and not "religion" itself.

    JW Reading the Law

    I should be in Waco on Wednesday and I may have to drop by and snag a copy of this and also a copy of "Masonry for the Texas Mason's Lady" (thanks Brother Lins). Brother Ashton what was the cost on the cd?

    JW Reading the Law

    I will be more then willing to send you a copy. However I had one of our PM contact Grand lodge(he was asking a question already) for a pdf version of the grand law and it wasn't availible as of a month ago. I need to call them again and see if it is now availible.

    JW Reading the Law

    One of the many things I've been looking at putting togather for new MM is a CD. The CD will have a electronic Petitions (Blue Lodge, Scottish rite, York Rite, and Shriners), Lodge Bylaws, Grand Lodge laws, and the ALL program. Hopefully as time goes on I can add somethings to this but that is...

    Freemasons commercialized and profiting?

    A bit off topic I had a interesting conversation in the past week with a Brother. He commented that in the 70's "ring jobs" were a common thing. I was a bit perplexed and he went on to explain that if you were a Mason you would receive preferential treatment over better qualified person...

    Freemasons commercialized and profiting?

    You also have to realize that Jay-Z has been hammered over Masonry for a while. I've never confirmed whether he is or is not a Mason, however you listen to the song and somebody associated with that song was a mason or has done alot of research. To me parts of the song are offensive but...

    Freemasons commercialized and profiting?

    There are alot of things on the internet, without seeing the video I'd prefer not to comment on it. I'll use this link as an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oFeKJKoaKc - by Howie Damon I have no issue with this and if he makes money to recoup his cost and also makes some money...

    Would you purchase a Texas Freemason License Plate?

    Let me get this straight 103K memberships are out there. Expected 90K actual members when plural memberships are excluded. So 50K members decided to get a single plate for one of their cars. That is 1 million in revenue. Why do we have a budget problem?

    Regarding Your Masonic Membership

    I selected "Don't hide but don't advertise", If I'm out with friends watching a movie or generally out and about I will wear a hat. I happen to be very political, and very busy working on my companies so I tend to not wear anything masonic in those circles. Even after hours gatherings that...

    Per Capita for Grand Lodge of Texas

    Perhaps by spending some money on the building and promoting it as a place in the community for events we could increase revenue, awareness, and general well being. While doing this we can also send out a email saying this event is being held at Grand Lodge and if any of the members would like...

    Per Capita for Grand Lodge of Texas

    I don't see the advertising revenue for the magazine, did I miss it? If we are breaking even on the advertising vs. cost I don't care. Don't get me wrong I think we could have a much better magazine but cost vs revenue is what should matter if we are advertising in it. The way I read the...
