Why?York rite appeals to me more then Scottish rite. If I were to become a mason I'd go York .

I like the York Rite better than the Scottish Rite although I am glad to be involved in both. I like the YR rituals and degrees better that those of the AASR. They "speak" to me more than those of the AASR. Simply a personal preference.Why?
Its a personal preferance. So much hype and tin foil hat conspiracies on the last 3 degrees. So many cowans on YouTube comments saying they are a 32nd degree. One of them commented on a vid saying "Ha this is fake I'm a 32 degree how many trips to bohemian grove have you made." I don't think any mason would flaunt and express himself that way. Of course I don't believe in any of the conspiracies. That and I heard the york degrees are interactive plays according to the ask a mason forums. I read on wiki that York right Templars are for Christian masons to defend that religion? That appeals to me most out of all of them. I just feel that York is a more noble and humble path for me.Why?

We each have to decide what is best for us and tread our own path.I just feel that York is a more noble and humble path for me.
It depends in the jurisdiction as to how the degree is presented. In England, the Ceremonies are interactive. In the US, YR degrees may be in a festival with an exemplar candidate.Its a personal preferance. So much hype and tin foil hat conspiracies on the last 3 degrees.

True.It would be more accurate that one agrees to defend the Christian faith in the KT.
Agreed, simply a personal preference.I see no difference in nobility between the two systems, having been through, conferred, and served as an officer in both. Indeed, there are chivalric degrees in both.

There are silly statements as to Knights Templar on the web as well. You have gleaned on to a tell sign: if one claims their expertise is based on being a 32nd° AASR member, there typically isn’t much expertise there.

I was about to ask him the same thing. Why concern youeself on being a 33rd when you are not an Entered Apprentice...
Agreed. When I was raised I was advised to wait at least 6 months before joining an appendant body so that I would better understand the three degrees before continuing my education. I took this advice and am glad that I did.Exactly! Planning appendent body memberships before even petitioning a lodge? Nope,

With me it worked out...so far, so good. I am very active in both the York Rite and Scottish Rite and having a great time.I have an expression that I first learned in woodworking. Rushing is breaking.
Nothing wrong with that considering it was the best time for you and your son to do these things together.For me the only way to get in a pool is to jump in the deep end.
Brother Mark, I read your post in the email. I also joined the Lodge of Research. I found it very interesting. Our lodge secretary is the WM of the the Lodge of Research so there was a good connection there.Deleted
