Lots of hats are possibilities, in Texas GL law details the minimum qualifications. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Freemasonry mobile app

My Brother, your post is offensive. I have my experiences and you have yours. Although I am not compelled to tell you where all I have traveled, lets just say you are not the only one who has been in other jurisdictions. My comment was that we have evidence of ANYTHING written has affected...

No what they are referring to is a"code" book of the esoteric work not the laws. The laws are readily available from the Grand Lodge. The code book is entirely different. The possession of a code book was removed as an offense years ago. It is, and rightfully so, still prohibited on Lodge...

Congratulations! Enjoy your year, it will be over before you know it. Freemason Connect Mobile

I have also posted a link to it on the website for Texas Chapter and Council (the one at the Temple) http://texaschapterandcouncil.org/York_Rite_Activites.html In case you are traveling to Ft Worth for this, there is a Holiday Inn Express directly across the street from the Ft Worth Masonic...

Congratulations Companion! Enjoy the Commandery!

First, don't worry about protocols, you would not be violating any. Have you checked the Grand Commandery website? The GC has done a huge upgrade over the past year and the information may be there. Look at the particular Commandery you know he was in. The fact that the sword has his name on...

The presentation of the English degree is only open to Fellow Craft and Master Masons. EA's are not allowed. True, the candidate (if there was a real one) would technically be an EA at the beginning, but EAs are not allowed as they have no knowledge of the content of the FC degree...

Hmmmm so that's what all those funny little boxes are for!!! I thought it was Hampster storage for all the snakes or they were storage for the goat stirrups.

Shame on you, Roomie !!! ROFL - Our stated meetings are the 3rd Tuesday of each Month. Come to our July meeting. I have a spot all picked out for you already!

From reading these responses I think we can identify some common denominator across the reasons. We do, as a group, a poor job of communicating what the Commandery is all about. It is not divisive, it is not just drilling, it is not just dressing up, it is not about any of that, yet it is...

Good luck on your journey - you will not regret this decision. We all make life changing decisions - our decisions toward God -our decision on a mate - the decision to become a Mason - one of the easiest decisions and one when combined with the other two are all three mulitiplier of the others.

Yeah but the deal is with that Lodge there is more depth of talent, experience and resourses. I have about a total of 37 people who are taking leadership roles either as officers, committe chairs or committee members. That is a HUGE difference. We are going to do many things this year and...
