Are you asking me Bro. Books ?
I'm not sure I entirely agree with this. In the early days when Masonry was operative and the grips and words were used to distinguish who was a Mason and who was not, it was because a man was coming to receive some sort of benefit. That might be work, it might be relief, whatever. But the traveling Mason was going to actively seek out his brethren for a purpose. In this case, the man would be tested using the ways that are taught.No sir I think my point was why have ways to recognize each other if they are only used in a tyled lodge, now on the other hand the only place they should be taught is in a tyled lodge.
The topic of this thread is traveling and that technically means attending other lodges not meeting on the street
My brother you are out of bounds, this was just a conversation, I could care less who is or is not a seeker of light. I as a prince hall mason have no need to be recognized I am what I am and no man or body of men can change that, it matters not what ever reason they profess to give. SMIBThats why we don't recognize prince hall, always trying to challenge and prove something (not all)
You wanna know what we do???
I see a masonic ring i say "hey brother good to see another brother" regular handshake and keep on moving unless he feels like talking. Keep walking and going on about my business.
Not gonna interrogate to show im real and demans proof from him.
If that mini convo i had confused him i would be able to tell and keep on moving. If he was real both out hearts would be touched with brotherly love.
Nothing against prince hall. Just the having something to prove and the challenge. Who cares.
You want to know when i care and will "try you" when you try to walk through the west gate.

Read your MM OBLIGATION. Traveling masonically means visiting other lodges.
As you say "catch e kisms" means challenging them with a part of your CHETICHISM to see if he gets stuck.
Keep your CHETICHISMS in lodge or for INSTRUCTION of a brother.
I speak the truth and give reality. Im not a ring tapper looking to be recognized so i can gain respect or see if the person im talking to deserves my respect.
