    After 29 years of being Mason in-name-only, I am publicly dropping the bomb

    Brethren, The ODC is not happening as much as the OP suggests. It was done three times since 2013 that I can recall. It was recently done in 2021 to clean up the backlog created by COVID and it was up to the local lodge to send the individual Lodge to send the candidate / Brother in...

    Ukraine?

    read below. We may choose sides in conflict but we do not abandon our duty we owe to our Brothers. It is a weird concept, but it is akin to the old saying, “it’s nothing personal. It’s just business.” A Savannah Story Found in the records of a lodge in Savannah is a story of how, with war...

    Passed to Fellowcraft

    Interesting. The FC degree is the only degree where we bring everyone out at the same time for first and second section in NJ. Our fc degree runs just the same if we have 1 or 5 guys being passed.

    Last meeting in the East tonight

    Congratz. Leaving the East is bittersweet. try to stay active and press the master to keep you involved in the form of committees and ritual. You’re the Junior PM. I hope your new master calls upon you for guidance and inspiration

    Unsolicited Appointment to JW.

    Interesting. I could nominate anyone I wanted to, present or not in your jurisdiction? We have language that states: you have been nominated to serve as Junior Warden for the ensuing Masonic year. Do you accept the nomination and if elected will you serve? Presence is required. An email must...

    Unsolicited Appointment to JW.

    Sounds like the Lodge nominated and elected the brother without his knowledge. you have to be present to accept the nomination.

    America250PA and Grand Lodge of PA Liberty Tree Project

    Very cool that the plantings are descended from the last tree. What brought the original trees down? Age? Disease? Development?

    Freemasonry AS religion?

    In order to approach freemasonry as a religion, you would already have had to have been exposed to religion in one form or another. Even then, the lodge would remind you of your faith to said religion. It wouldn’t replace your religion.

    Entire Progressive Line quits!

    What would have happened if you ran against the PM and won? Would those who were sided with the PM eventually leave? What would the condition of the lodge be if your line stayed and each progressive officer finally made it to the East? I take issue with some of the thought processes of the JW...

    Historical Knights Templar

    Your best bet is to hit your local library or find older documentaries that are uploaded on YT.

    Passed to Fellowcraft

    Did you mean 6 candidates? We would need dispensation to do more than 5 and the GM here will not grant it. We'd have to split up them up into two degrees to get 6 guys done.

    Installed as Junior Warden

    Congrats. It goes fast. Try to get your programs lined up for your year in the east.

    Anyone from Grand Lodge of Ohio

    You would have to hire a heir tracer and that could be cost restrictive unless there is a brother who is in that business that could find someone related to the individual. Unfortunately, it would probably be a waste if the man did not have any living direct descendants.
