The best thing to do is check with your jurisdiction. I have never been told it was to only be used in a tyled lodge. New to me
Where does it say you can't use a penal sign in public ? I have yet to see it. I have looked though all my material and I can't find it.
Only if you're wearing paraphernalia with Masonic secrets on it, then yeah, that's a problem.If we're going by our obligations on exchanging tokens and signs.. then we must follow the rules all the way through! Remember the cut and carve part?? That Mean we shouldn't be wearing paraphernalia in public..
The square and compass is a secret....
The square and compass is a secret.
The square and compass is a secret. We all have pictures on social media in our regalia which our secrets are carved on it. Some lodges have pictures inside their temple. We violated on a lot when it comes down to those obligations! Especially the pluck your heart out etc. I have witness plenty violations and Ive yet seen a man suffer consequences for his actions lol.. my point is we dont follow our obligations and our obligation was written in ancient times... I dont know any fraternity that broadcast their information but we all should be able to use certain things in public when it comes down to recognizing another brother... plus its fun to greet on a masonic level..and no one knows what's going on.. Even though I rarely catch on to catechisms.. I like them. Kind of entertaining lol
May I ask of what GL you are a member? Treating the S&C as a secret, as compared to the interpretation thereof, is an unknown concept to me and I am familiar with the usual positions of CGMNA GLs. It would appear we are confusing the symbol for the thing symbolized.The square and compass is a secret. We all have pictures on social media in our regalia which our secrets are carved on it.

Yes I WAS a clanny and I was healed in the GLOG PHA.
I hate to post this from our obligation but
I will not print, paint, stamp, stain, cut,
carve, mark, or engrave them, or cause the same to be done, on any thing movable or
immovable
... Do you guys know what immovable mean or no??
GA PHA is regular, just not fully recognized. There is a problem as it is reported that it maintains Masonic relations with the grand Lodge of France, a clandestine Grand Lodge. If correct, this could be problematic in the futureOr I could be wrong.. remind you I am still young and learning! Take it easy on me and enlighten me if I am wrong. I am no longer a clanny.. well I am no longer a SUPER clanny because Phaga not recognized yet
Agreed! If a Masonic lodge can publically display the Square and Compasses, a Commandery display the Cross and Crown, the Scottish Rite display the Double Headed Eagle then surely I can wear these emblems on my person.There is one key word in that ( secret ) nothing secret about displaying them

It certainly is in my jurisdiction.You do realize that in many jurisdictions you just violated your ob.by writing those words?
This is kinda disrespectful remember we are all Mason's and meet on the level regardless of ageYou do realize that in many jurisdictions you just violated your ob.by writing those words?
Yes, son, .

I was being disrespectful?? If so I apologize
So its nothing secret about exchanging signs in public then right? The meaning of the sign may be a secret. But the sign itself is okay to display?? Or The signs are secrets point blank period?
