Seems like every few years we get someone joining this forum trying to make an argument that PHA shouldn't be irregular/clandestine. That isn't what determines regularity. Also not the issue with PHO. No need to attribute actions to the devil that were clearly taken by men and their ego.

Greetings from Maine!

Rotary and Lions are not Masonic. Our organizations are not connected. You've been given the only advice we can give. Nobody on this forum can connect you with anyone.

Never going to happen. Nobody on this internet forum can help you join the Freemasons. That isn't how it works. You have to live somewhere that has active Lodges and ask them. Unfortunately, you live in Jordan where they operate very discretely because of the Muslim fundamentalists. Last I...

By member I assume you mean a member of this internet forum. I don't think you will have much success becoming a Freemason in Jordan. This paper may help you understand the situation. https://linfordresearch.info/fordownload/World%20of%20Fmy/Nairn%20Middle%20East.pdf

It's a tale as old as time with numerous articles and papers written on the topic. Check out Laudable Pursuit: A 21st Century Response to Dwight Smith for example. It's written from the American perspective but the same issues. The only way to change the experience is to be that change yourself...

Have a nice day. Sorry I wasn't able to help you understand how Recognition works.

Sorry. But you are wrong on this one. The GLofSC can choose not to recognize them but they are Regular. I don't think you have a good grasp of the terminology regarding Regularity and Recognition. And, the Grand Lodge de France is considered Regular by many Mainstream Grand Lodges though they...

Another Masonic Tattoo spotted in the wild.

Prince Hall is Regular. South Carolina's approval isn't required.

"The UGLE has officially stated that the philosophy and practice of Prince Hall Masonry are of "exemplary regularity". The historical formation, while unusual by today's standards, was considered acceptable by the standards of the 18th century."

Three is even better than four. And I knew something was going on with LA just couldn't remember what.

Prince hall is considered Regular in all US jurisdictions, it is just not recognized in four states. I'm not counting whatever the GLofLA has going on since they recognized MWPHGL of Maryland but not Louisiana.

My 0% is mostly directed at your insistence on posting on decade plus old dead threads. If you want to rekindle a conversation, just make a new post so we don't have go back and read countless pages of discussions to figure out what's going on. Necroposting is far more annoying than trying to...
