Accepted a new position and moved down to Palacios, TX... Any Brothers on here that are in the area? (From Lake Jackson/Angleton down through Port Lavaca to Corpus, or any of the surrounding areas) Looking to visit some lodges down here in my free time while waiting on the family to move down...
Does anyone have, or know where I can find some PDFs that I can download about the Rosicrucians? I have both the manifestos from 1615, or whatever year it was, and I also have the one that Manly P. Hall wrote (I forget the name of it). But looking for others.
I can download them from a site...
Lol I guess better than the "stink palm" Mallrats. "Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzl?"
Lol my other favorite quote from that movie has to do with the same situation. "Small price to pay for the smiting".
Hahaha Wow. Thanks. Just looked it up and watched it. I wonder if someone is going to be standing in the unemployment line sometime soon. At the very least, she shouldn't be allowed back in that room because of that outburst, regardless of the content lol.
He has it right there. For one thing, if you haven't petitioned a lodge yet, you may want to think about doing it after you have left and competed all your training. Especially if you are going Active Duty. And I say that because you don't really want to join the lodge in your hometown and...
I was kind of worrying about some kind of backlash that was sort of like what happened with the Shriners and Arkansas GL (I believe it was Arkansas). The way I understood it was that the Shrine made their own decision on a matter which conflicted with the GL, and despite warnings from the GL...
A lodge can get a dispensation for active duty military service members (including those that are Guard and Reserve called up to Active status) to get whatever degrees are needed to become a Master Mason before deploying. From what I remember, the lodge Sec sends up the request, and the GM...
Quite a while back, I believe the GL either changed the law on that to be like you just said, or the GL put out some sort of big reminder. I also remember it being brought up when I was going through that class that I needed to go to the South. I had brought it up after that, especially when I...
One idea that I have had, which I have tried to press upon a few Brothers going through the degrees is the whole thing of TAKE YOUR TIME while studying with your instructor. That there is absolutely no rush. There are three reasons I like to see them slow down and intentionally take their time...
I love how I got mine, but I think that it is a typical story. I used to see my father dress up for work and where his ring, which wasn't anything too fancy at all. I was initiated in the lodge in my home town, and I got my FC and was raised in a lodge in Copperas Cove while I was stationed at...
All you can do is try your best to get to know the person (not just get to know ABOUT them). It has already been stated in other posts that it is a pretty common that a guy will be brought into a lodge with a petition, will be introduced by a Brother, and while everyone is having coffee the...
Anyone have another source for the blog that Bro. Vick posted a link for in his original post? When I click on it, it goes to a page from Blogger that saysthe blog doesn't exist anymore. After reading his response to it and the rest of the discussion, I am really interested in reading the...
