I AGREE WITH BROTHER UPTON AND BROTHER TLDUBB.......And for the Brothers above who speak on being guarded when speaking with EA's and/or FC's, you are right to do so. There is one thing to remember though------EA's and FC's are indeed MASONS, although they have not been RAISED TO THE SUBLIME...

BROTHER CELIDONIOUS, the prudent thing to do is to simply CONTINUE READING AND STUDYING OUR RITUAL, as any Good and Dutiful Brother Mason would do.............This will give you the LIGHT needed to answer questions if called upon to do so. Remember, in Prince Hall Affiliated Masonry, we treat...

GOOD EVENING BROTHERS, I've received every type of response that you could imagine. But, the ONE thing that I always tell a few of my conspiracy theorist friends is-----Look at ME, and the way I live MY LIFE. MY LIFE is Masonry, and I treat Masonry as a WAY OF LIFE, rather than simply an...

I agree with Brother Owings..............Masonic Grip is a privilege, for those who have been duly and truly examined, and are found to be a Brother Mason.......I take the "Rights, Lights, and Benefits" very seriously, as ALL MASONS SHOULD...........If He is a worthy Brother, and was properly...

BRO. VINCENT-----just wanted to congratulate you on being raised to the SUBLIME DEGREE OF A MASER MASON..............I haven't been on the Forum in a week, and saw this entry...................BRO JONES

Or, brethren, how about since you weren't a master mason, perhaps he chose to divest himself from any masonic conversaton whatesoever??..............no discussion about grips, passwords, or anything, because he realized you were not yet a master mason?! That's a...

Good idea, Bro Neumann.....I think that this Holiday Season would be great, in that it allows for enough time to brainstorm and get ONE SIMPLE PROJECT planned and completed..............The Holidays always brings plenty of opportunities to participate in Clothing Drives, volunter at the Houston...

BRO. VINCENT, I agree with you statements about race/ethinicity. RACE is a fairly modern term; However, ETHNICITY/LAND OF ORIGIN was how the ancients were referred to, and this included their country of origin, as well as their physical characteristics. Historians throughout the ages have...

This is the most valuable thing in freemasonry-----wisdom, knowledge, and experience passed down through the generations in the lodge.............that is what will sustain us as a brotherhood.............please pass on my congratulations to your lodge brethren from me................... Bro...

Congratulations, Brother..........now the REAL challenge begins.......APPLICATION of what you've learned to your DAILY WALK........Masonry is not just an organization-----it's a WAY OF LIFE..............If you newly Initiated, Passed, and/or Raised Brethren view Masonry in this manner, you will...

Congrats, Young Fellow............focus on the task at hand.......we on this Forum are happy to know that you are about to become a Master Mason, however, please be mindful of the fact that you have one more hurdle to clear before you are RAISED. I would urge you to maintain contact with...

Sounds like nothing wrong with a good old fashioned Catfish Dinner, where Brethren come together to "dwell in Unity", and talk Sports, Family, and even Masonry.........It's become almost cliche at this point to say what we are NOT allowed to discuss; we all know this...........BUt, Bro Hatley...

Nizzardini's Ritual for Free and Accepted Masons is the Ritual approved for use in our Jurisdiction....................

Congrats, Young Brother..........But, I'd echo the sentiments of my Brethren above.......We would definitely enjoy your fellowship, but would strongly advise you AT THIS POINT in your journey to only speak with the Brethren in the Lodge which you have petitioned............you will learn WHY...

And, to add a bit of clarity to the question of the study pamphlets used in Texas PHA Lodges----they are simply STUDY AIDS. NO RITUAL, just Q&A lecture, and the OB of said Degree. You could liken it to Cliff Notes, almost. It must ALL be committed to memory in OUR Lodge prior to passing or...

Young Brother, I would call on you to handle this situation by following the wise counsel of my District Brother Byron Upton, and also to look within YOURSELF while enduring this ordeal. The issue may not lie with YOU, however, since you are being adversely affected, I can offer some First...

GOOD EVENING BRETHREN-----Let's start with the question Bro Cog41 raised-----What Lodge are you involved with, and which Grand Lodge is the Lodge subordinate to? THIS will tell me a lot about what happened and WHY............GET ME THAT INFORMATION, AND I WILL DO WHAT I CAN TO ASSIST...
