I grant you that it sucks, but it is not your fault.

Now I have no problem not being a member of the GL of TX and knew that I was not but what has confused me is the obligation compared to the law. In a degree you are told you are a member of the GL of TX and a member of said Lodge you are in.
That is a funny thing-not being a member of the Grand Lodge of Texas-unless your a pastmaster. A lot of brethren had and still have a problem w/that term. I can understand why.
Are you a member of the Grand Lodge of Texas? No but my lodge is:drum:
Every year at Grand Lodge someone will go down to give his opinion about an issue and get shut down when it is discovered he is not a Past Master. Many Brothers are under the assumption that if they are Master Masons, they have voting rights.
My obligation does NOT state that I am a "member" of Grand Lodge- just that I will obey what they tell me to do or not do. You might want to go back & recheck- mebbe you were taught incorrectly.
In our MM obligation you do swear to uphold the laws of GL of TX and also if you become a Member of any other GL other that TX you have to uphold there laws as well. The word member in that part of the obligation is what I was referring to as confusing, it can give some as it did myself the false impression they are a member of the GL of TX. Granted I very well could have been taught that wrong but I have always heard the word member said there. I will certianly check on that though.
its that avatar of yours rhit...it has messed up your mind.
