    The freemason movie

    I'll have to watch this movie and see how it is. That'd be interesting. I think a Civil War take would be fantastic as well. There was so much contention, but Masonic brotherhood saw through it. Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

    Knights Templar

    Red, there are no modern Knights Templar groups that have connections to the medieval monastic knights. The Masonic Knights Templar take the name, symbols, and teaching of the monastic order in order to confer moral lessons; the connection is a superficial and artificial one. I'm sorry to say...

    Lodge Web Site

    I love this website. There's so much great information, and they were the ones that got me in contact with my local lodge: www.phoenixlodge154.org Junior Steward Phoenix Lodge #154 Sumner, WA

    Losing Your Train of Thought...

    That happened to me a few days ago. I was on a complete roll, not missing a beat, then I totally blanked mid-sentence, and stumbled after that. Junior Steward Phoenix Lodge #154 Sumner, WA

    One-Day classes, What do YOU think?

    In my jurisdiction I am against them. Every lodge I've been to is more than willing to step down to FC or EA so a brother of that degree can attend. Likewise, one has the option of either proving up/doing proficiency, or doing an alternate proficiency composed of technical questions related to...

    MM Ring

    I'm planning to order mine online from gordonsmasonicrings.com, but amazon and ebay have quite a few as well. As for buying one from a B&M, I haven't seen any in jewelry shops, just the occasional one in pawn shops. Junior Steward Phoenix Lodge #154 Sumner, WA

    Freemasonry Stereotypes from non brothers

    I hear the Illuminati/NWO stuff a lot from my friends, which I think is partially due to my age. Being only 20 my friends buy into a lot of that stuff pretty easily. I explain the reality of it to them, which is good enough for most. However, for those who prefer fantasy I just nod, smile, and...

    Tips or advise

    You sound like me, but don't worry. Take it in parts. Break the obligation into pieces and pay strict attention to the cadence as it helps the words flow better, thereby making it easier to remember. Once you have it down repeat it to yourself as often as you can. And make sure to practice in...
