I love my pha brothers, and I also like when they challenge a brother everytime they see light. I for one don't have a problem with it but a lot of my 4 letter brothers think its ridiculous what u brothers think? It personally ceeps me sharp for example, a pha brother saw my ring and said , "what if I took the screw out of that, what would happen" lol i looked at that brother like he had a booger in his nose . Lol but I love old school they can teach u a thing or too

I personally don't respond to any challenges like that. It is not something that is taught ritualistically. Every jurisdiction has something "different" that they do, so how does he know that what he is learning at his home is the same thing that you do in yours? How will that brother react when you don't know the answer to his question? When someone approaches me with that, I will gladly invite him to our instruction meetings and we can sharpen each other in the lodge. Also, "4 letter" is just not an accurate term.

Well in my particular district brothers go by three or four letter, n what i was taught , u should never leave a brother the way you found em , for me it really doesnt matter rather they do or don't , knowledge is knowledge and if a brother believes he has somthing to offer regardless on how its presented I'm all ears, if its masonic it can't hurt brother. But as I stated before it really don't matter rather they do ir don't but pha where I'm from Is always doing that, of course there more militant also in there work and I find in intriguing

Also, the term 3 letter / 4 letter is common talk in PHA lodges. At least from my history stand point

Weird. Wonder what they call non-PHA in states like Cali, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, and many others that are F&AM....

Im not sure what others call us but as for PHA it shortens the conversations for us by saying 3's or 4's
But respect for the fraternity is #1

I can see why it would be easy for our GL of State brothers to be confused.
