O-H...!

Nice analogy. If we extrapolate it a bit, the Virtual Past Master rank doesn't extend beyond the Chapter. My Blue Lodge won't let me occupy the WM's station after virtually passing the chair.

Episcopalian. Our first Priest was, and every one since has been a Freemason.

Wooden Match in Bethlehem used to be affiliated, but I think it has changed ownership. The Leaf Cigar Bar & Famous Smoke Shoppe in Easton are my favorites in the area. I saw the add for the Cigar Social in Rajah Shrine's news publication. Should have been a great time; the Hamburg shop is very...

Is it your position that Freemasonry, it's symbols, and other elements have no meaning or value beyond what is set forth by what you refer to as "Masonic Law?"

I've seen free .pdf versions of Bridge to Light on the web. It should be easy to locate with a search. Ritual Monitor may be more challenging. If you haven't contacted the Supreme Council, you may want to do so and explain your circumstances. They may be able to provide you with the .pdf...

If you have issues with the irregularity of NGL, you should take them up with the proper Masonic authorities. I certainly don't claim to hold the right to sit in judgement on matters such as these; but, simply state the facts as they exist. Perhaps you should express your concerns to the...

Select Master is YR; major inconsistency with your reply. Confirmed my suspicions...hope no one else engages you in this discussion. It's been unnecessarily disrespectful to every worthy Master Mason. Now we all can see why. As so many good men have stated, reading a monitor doesn't make you...

NGL still exists. Got it. PHO shares a legitimate Masonic history with PHA. Got it. At some point, there was a schism that placed the authority claimed by NGL beyond the bounds of regular Freemasonry. Got it. Therefore, despite its historical origins, the contemporary NGL is irregular...
