    When visiting a new lodge....

    A good way to become more comfortable in what will happen is to ask to be part of an examination committee. In your own lodge. Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

    Dues--What's too low and what's too high?

    I think my lodge dues are too low. Here's why: My lodge has several fundraisers each year that some of the brethren enjoy working on. We use these monies to support our community support programs. (Reading incentive program for Elementary School children, and a scholarship for High Schoolers)...

    Wife having a problem with Freemasonry, she wants

    Re: Wife having a problem with Freemasonry, she wa I don't believe that this is a control issue. I believe it is based in fear. She has a honest fear for his spiritual life based on incorrect information. Natural human response to the unknown is fear. The tool to eliminate ignorance is...

    Online Freemasonry

    Now let me preface my statement with this caveat, I am not trying to rock the boat, or call for changes in the way we do things in accepting new masons. That said, this type of scam preys on the fact that the uninitiated may have little or no knowledge of the concept of irregular vs regular...

    Us waiver removal

    I have a friend who has a similar problem. But he can't go to Canada from the US. In order to fix the problem he will have to go to the Canadian Consulate in a US city to get the problem resolved. Have you tried going to a US Consulate in Canada to see what you need to do to get your name...

    Seven Deadly Sins

    Good point, I hadn't thought about the translation. As far as gluttony itself, I wonder if some eating habits qualify, like eating while mindlessly watching television. In any case I am planning on tackling my excess weight this year, that's what triggered my initial curiosity in looking up...

    Seven Deadly Sins

    Wikipedia lists; "In the currently recognized version, the sins are usually given as wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony." The one attracting my attention is gluttony, being overweight, it is the one item in the list I haven't given much thought to. As a society, Americans have...

    Two Scariest Lies in Our World Right Now

    The teaching in the video is not about morality. It is speaking to redemption according to the beliefs of his religion. Atheists don't believe in doing good things to get a better position in the afterlife, they don't believe in an afterlife. Once our individual salvation is rectified with our...

    What would you like to see changed in the Masonic experience?

    Re: What would you like to see changed in the Maso My first post in this thread, by no means, had any intent to convey that Masonry does not have enough value in and of itself. The point in my post was that we are not the only type of institution that has seen declining membership over the...

    What would you like to see changed in the Masonic experience?

    Re: What would you like to see changed in the Maso Reading through the comments in several threads, including this one, there is a recurring concern of declining membership. I spent 10 years volunteering on several fire departments over the years and the lack of participation in many of those...

    Drinking Age

    Just read a news story of a bar in Brooklyn NY that was raising the drinking age in their establishment to 25, due to the crime and noise related to younger drinkers. Sent From My Freemasonry Mobile App

    Drinking Age

    There are several ways to view this topic: Allowing access to alcohol at an earlier age takes away the feelings that there is something taboo and therefore adds intrigue and defiance of authority, which teenagers are full of. (I was one once too) We ask people younger than 21 to defend us, as...

    custom aprons

    The main issue the Grand Master explained to us on his visit last month, was the varying colors of trim and sizes. The GL had received many complaints of some aprons not complying with the Washington Masonic Code. My Freemasonry

    Reasons for becoming a Freemason

    I decided to become a Mason last year (2012). My Grandfather was a mason for 68 years, and passed away earlier this year. He was 96 and was sharp as a tack until the end. I had no doubt his mental sharpness and longevity had everything to do with how active he was in his lodge. I am happy...
