Freemasonry in Jordan is complicated as it is in all predominantly Muslim countries. You will want to read the following to get a better understanding. The info on Jordan begins on page 14 and includes who to reach out to if you are still interested...

I think you are completely ignoring the counterpoints being raised. If your Lodge is not willing to make it a priority to provide a PROPER lambskin apron for a deceased Brother to be interred with, then that is a problem. Either in a Lodge's poor financial health, or leadership, or both. Did...

Sorry. I disagree. Symbols are important. In this case, the symbol IS the material the lambskin apron it s constructed of. Maybe I'm just being overly sentimental in insisting a Brother be interred with a proper apron.

Brother, I heartily applaud you for seeing a problem and coming up with a solution to fix it. But I think if I were laid to rest in a vinyl apron that I would definitely return to seriously haunt some people. I can't believe that 5-6 Brothers cannot donate $5 when a Brother passes to see that...

Always liked the white on white. Sharp looking.

The world is changing, and not necessarily for the better. Lodges should seriously consider adding a line item in their budgets for security. A web based camera system at the minimum. Even posted notices that the property is under surveillance would be a good enough deterrent in all but the...

One of my Wisconsin Lodges wears English Craft regalia as well. It is by far my favorite.

If you would like to learn more about Freemasonry then I highly recommend Freemasonry for Dummies by Brother Hodapp. It is an excellent introduction. But dream interpretation isn't really part of our studies. We'll, except for that one dream that one time.

If it weren't for necro threads we wouldn't have anything here these days! LoL

But what are your feelings about the topic of the thread?

This is the number one reason I did not reply. :) Most Lodges have no interest in hearing this answer. If you need to have fundraisers to keep operating, you either need to raise dues appropriately or rid your Lodge of expenses. Like your building. But most Lodges just browbeat Brothers into...

Not a Judeo-Christian concept or idea. As Jews, we have no need of salvation in the Christian sense because we have no concept of original sin to be redeemed from.

Realistically, who has the right to define salvation for another? If a person is an adherent to a particular faith, then there is probably an expectation that they would ascribe to that definition. But, as a non Christian, I can definitely say that the Xtian definition of salvation is no more...

Since I started that Freemasonry as religion thread I give you leave to necro it. :) It would be more appropriate there.

Freemasonry has no dogma and offers no salvation. How you view it is your own affair but don't be surprised if very few Brothers agree with you. http://www.midnightfreemasons.org/2021/08/is-lodge-my-church.html?m=1

Could you post the source for that quote so we can see it in context.

How does the SR teach all religions?

Are you a Southern Baptist and getting pressure from your church regarding your membership in Freemasonry? If not, it's just words on a website. Yawn. If this article makes your blood boil, wait till you read what a couple popes have written!

Was not claiming any knowledge whatsoever of Satanism. Only to Turin to the Masonic connection to Turin. I think you will find that this is a forum for Freemasonry. Not Satanism.

The esoteric myths and legends of Turin are an interesting read but it is no more "Masonic" than any other place that has a claim on any history connected to our Order.
