    Masonry On The Streets

    If it's Freemasonry on the steets you want cop a load of this video. Although we have been in the Lord Mayor's Show for several years 2012 was the irst year that we were allowed to walk in full regalia:

    Jolly Roger

    OK just one more. The document refers to "Bro. Bonaparte" not "Bro. N. Bonaparte" and as we know for historical fact that Napoleon's brother Joseph was a Freemason it would be ridiculous to somehow make it Napoleon who is being referred to, unless of course you're trying to sell a book. Some...

    Jolly Roger

    I'm only going to correct your errors about Freemasonry then I've done enough as you are just making up stories. In 1717 4 Lodges in London started the first Grand Lodge in the world. However Freemasonry is not a religion and it was not practised by anyone other tha Free and Accepted Masons...

    Ahh I see it's that difference in our use of the english language :) Beyond reasonable here means that a thing is unreasonable but I think you meant very reasonable.

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    Yes and if an enquirer identified themselves as being in the UK I give them the details and have done so many times on my own forum in the UK since its launch in 2000.

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    Well in America maybe but here in England my Grand Lodge Library & Museum ran an exhibition to run at the same time as the Centenary celebrations of the OWF.

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    That would be a fair answer yes.

    Jolly Roger

    I'm sorry but what the heck has that got to do with anything that actually happened in British History??? Have you even heard of Henry VIII one of the most famous of English Kings who ended the rule of Rome within his Kingdom. MORE IMPORTANTLY though you have a complete non-grasp on what...

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    Companion Joe, the difficulty is that it is a bit late to say they can't call it "Freemasonry" as they've already been doing that for over 100 years.

    Jolly Roger

    Sorry, I maybe should have been clearer. There is no link between Freemasonry and Piracy at all, so I am afraid that unless this Forum has a member who is also a Pirate or an expert on Pirates we're not going to be able to help you. Maybe you should search for a forum based on "Piracy" or...

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    Just for completeness: of the three "Home" Grand Lodges only Scotland accepts the practise of OES Chapters, it is proscribed both in England and Ireland. I remember reading some years ago that the GL of Scotland was blindsided and accepted OES before liaising with the other 2 "Home" Grand...

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    I can see that this topic has become a little polarised along the line of personal opinion, now noting that one contributor cited a lineage back to 1717 as a proof of regularity and therefor making the opinion of the Grand Lodge of England important I refer back to my second posting on this...

    Jolly Roger

    There is no connection between the pirate flag called the Jolly Roger (Skull and bones) and Freemasonry! The first thing that should be pointed out is that the Jolly Roger was not some "universal" flag employed by all pirates they had a variety of ensigns but as I'm not a Pirate I won't try to...

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    I have heard this particular line a few times from members under the British Federation of LDH and I think you maybe have taken it all a bit at face value and getting yourself a bit confused. I have been told several times that UGLE Masons frequented LDH meetings but no one was ever actually...

    Can a woman be a Freemason?

    Yes the Grand Lodge for Men and Women was founded by Co-Masons (in 2005) who no longer wished to be part of the British Federation of Le Droit Humain (a French Organisation) , the same thing happened in several other countries at the same time. They have set up a separate and distinct Order...
