BROTHER CELIDONIOUS, the prudent thing to do is to simply CONTINUE READING AND STUDYING OUR RITUAL, as any Good and Dutiful Brother Mason would do.............This will give you the LIGHT needed to answer questions if called upon to do so. Remember, in Prince Hall Affiliated Masonry, we treat this as a BROTHERHOOD, not a College Fraternity. I am also a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc......INITATED SPRING 1989 AT TX. STATE UNIVERSITY.......we "charge one another up" as part of our Meet and Greet process, but one shouldnt view Masonry this way. The Brother above stated it correctly-----MASONIC BUSINESS SHOULD NEVER BE DISCUSSED IN PUBLIC; TOO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR COWANS AND EAVESDROPPERS TO HEAR YOUR CONVO.
With a Regular and Recognized PHA or Mainstream Brother Mason, the showing of a Proper Dues/Relief Card is enough to let one know you are properly affiliated. The knowledge you read and retain will be for you to be able to expound, define, and defend your Square and Compass when questioned by an Elder Brother, or one from another Jurisdiction who is KNOWN TO BE A DULY RECOGNIZED BROTHER MASON.......................BRO JONES
