I go where I can Best Work and Receive Master's Wages. Those were the reasons for me becoming a Traveling Man. I visit Lodges all over the place and Work at Lodges of which I am not a formal member. I've moved only once and was moving toward something, not away. I recommend moving to anyone...

All of these silly human problems shall come to pass once the androids take over.

Grammar teaches us the Lexicon and how to use it. Logic teaches us how to Construct Arguments from that Lexicon and how to make those Arguments Strong. Rhetoric teaches us how Lexicon Dramatically Changes its Meaning beyond the Accepted Concrete depending upon 1) how it is Employed and 2) the...

Masonry has re-enforced for me the understanding that words have general meanings and specific meanings and the context they are used within can and do change their meaning dramatically and sometimes in ways that require a rethinking of many well-entrenched beliefs. It's also taught me how...

Landmarks appear to be more important to USA jurisdictions and few other, of which are not all the same. There are many jurisdictions that have none. As far as becoming a "Mason" in one day or in 5 years in the USA, it merely means that you have become an accepted member of a society. There...

I speak from my own experience. When that changes, so shall what I report. I don't recall typing "anything but" in my quoted post. Regardless, who I consider Christian is far different from the majority. Anyone can take on a label. To live it takes far more. Your mileage appears to vary...

From all that have I read on this, it still requires the degrees to be performed, with obligations and the consent of the Brothers attending.

I find the only time I would say that it sucks is when I volunteer to do something or participate in something that I know does not interest me or does drain me beyond my capacities to recharge. But in saying that, it would be me trying to blame my Lodge for something that I knew I should not...

I have never had any bad experiences with Christians. I've only had bad experiences with those who have claimed to be Christians but were everything but. The same goes for my experiences with Masons, and those who have claimed to be such. Your mileage might differ.

It is the GM's purgative in some jurisdictions to make a Mason on Site. To be legitimate, the Brothers present must agree and vote upon the acceptance of the man and the ceremonies must be performed in total, which means a lodge must be open in each Degree. It is only the GM that can sanction...

My sons have a Place Station 3. Does that help? :D

Please explain your opinion.

Thanks for taking an interest my Brother.

If this was a response to my post, you took it far too seriously. That being said, let the fun & games begin! 1) Adam and Eve were not tossed because they ate the knowledge fruit. They were tossed for two specific reasons. a) They were blaming someone else for their freewill choices and...

That truly depended upon the Mason involved. Titles are slapped very causally these days and the label would not sway me in the least if I knew the man did not do the Work point toward by the Degrees. If he didn't do the Work, he's just a card carrier and no better for the payment made. That...

What's that?

Yet, when you earnest Believe that you hold the Breath of God within you (see that nasty Garden in Eden story for the clue), and that very Breath provides you the God Given Ability to Choose using God's Free Will, then you are back to square one with God making the Choice, but doing so Through...
