Sorry , I missed your post .

Re: Fraternal Relations Committee (Grand Lodge of Again , I am stumped as to what you are getting at so maybe I am dense . If by "light" (sorry but that terminology of Masonic trinkets throws me off) you mean some Masonic emblems , I do do not pay attention to other Masons in a crowd . As a...

Re: Fraternal Relations Committee (Grand Lodge of I know MANY recognized Masons that DO NOT learn the ritual verbatim . Or at least the ones I know , those of us who can confer degrees by memory are growing in short supply around here . ETA : I know a brother who is one darn good Mason , but...

This is why dislike "Specialty" lodges that cater to a certain group . We all meet on the level and what we do or who we are in the outside world should be left outside of the lodge doors .

Re: Fraternal Relations Committee (Grand Lodge of If some are members of other forums there are threads on this very subject as per what you described in your previous post has and does happen . Clandestine Masons sitting in regular/recognized lodges because they were not vetted properly so I...

Since I can only relate to my own jurisdiction this is how I will answer ....... It depends on where you meet them . When not in a lodge setting I greet them by their first name or by "Brother" and if I am seated (in the dining room for instance) when they approach me , I stay seated . I am not...
