    Re: So Mote It Be! When to be used, only at Lodge It's funny. No matter where I am and a prayer is given I say it if only silently to myself. My Freemasonry HD Pro

    It's official

    When I was in England I had thought about affiliating with a lodge there. I wish I would have but I was a fairly new Mason at the time and had already joined too many things by that time lol. Freemason Connect HD

    Pledge of Allegiance

    I captured the photo and I keep it on my phone. When they start the pledge I open my phone and read it. I have seen a few Brothers chuckle when I do it lol. Freemason Connect HD

    Moving to England

    I didn't realize he was a Fellowcraft. In England they have a different apron for each degree so you can actually buy a FC apron there. That would be cool to have a courtesy degree done like that but I'm sure it would be a paperwork nightmare between Grand lodges. Freemason Connect Mobile

    Traveling app

    I think we are talking about two different apps. The one I am talking about is fairly new and it is free. The new Travel light app is still in development. I just added my lodge to it the other day. The old one for $7.99 was a waste. I think they may have potential but their price point...

    Moving to England

    I lived there for three months and the best advice I can give is make sure you take your own apron. In England you buy your regalia. The lodge doesn't provide it to you.

    I don't think I've properly introduced myself

    We cooked brisket the other day in Dr. Pepper. Turned out really good! I used to be a Corrections officer and I was stationed in the kitchen. I spent my day counting utensils and looking for hooch! Lol. Freemason Connect Mobile

    Traveling app

    There is a new app called "Travel light" I know you can find it in the itunes store. I'm not sure about Android. It was created by appswecode. Most of the lodges that are listed are on the east coast. You can add your own lodge to their list. I have added mine.

    Past Master's Degree

    It's hard to explain. The MM lodge is really only opened as a "test" to test the men's ability to do ritual. It's not really a MM lodge. Only PM's can attend. If I remember correctly (it's been a few years since I attended one) the Brother receives the grip and word during the first section if...

    Past Master's Degree

    It is done in a Blue lodge. the assembled Masters elect open a Master Mason lodge. (In my case several lodges brought their newbies to one lodge Some lodges all the Past Masters of the lodge will confer it on their own). Once the lodge is opened a Past Master will take to the East and perform...

    Past Master's Degree

    Hmmmm. That is odd. The second section of the actual I went through in Indiana was basically play time to amuse the past masters. And if I remember correctly the YR version was King Solomon picking his successor. Freemason Connect Mobile

    Past Master's Degree

    It was explained this way to me: there are two past master degrees. The virtual past master and the actual past master. The York rites is the virtual. It was created because at one point to get to the RAM you had to be a Past Master so a degree was set up so you could proceed to the RAM. The...

    Another "Has Been"

    Ditto to what Blake said. The chairs on the sidelines aren't as comfortable as the oriental chair but it is a lot less stressful! :)
