    Propose new member to the lodge

    You can get a petition for him and then invite him to you social gathers or post/pre Lodge meetings to share supper. He can then get to know your Brothers and I'm sure that someone will propose him soon enough :) I knew no one in Freemasonry and went through a process of getting to know of my...

    Social anxiety

    Here's a little tip-bit or my 2 cents worth. 1) No one expects you to be perfect, nor should you be 2) The more proficiency you have in the topic of discussion, the more confidence you will have when discussing it 3) We are all Brothers, we all face the same challenges together I enjoy the rush...

    Initiation

    In Australia, the newly initiated are sometimes invited to attend the closing of the Lodge or left outside to take a breath and chat with the tyler.

    Taking the next step. Fellowcraft Degree tonight.

    Re: Taking the next step. Fellowcraft Degree toni So glad that you had an amazing night full of aha's - My 2nd is penciled in for March but before that I need to have my Education module squared away. Australia runs education modules after each degree for a more sound understanding. I was...

    Greetings from a Brother-to-be in England, UK!

    Welcome Brother-to-be FM for Dummies is a great introduction book. My only advice would be to skip the chapters on the Rituals as they can spoil the occasion. It's got lots of awesome insights in regards to the history of the Fraternity and some of the inner workings. Sent From My...

    Some Religious Questions

    In respect for all faiths/religions I believe that the Grand/Supreme Architect is the final judge and he judges us on the state of our heart. He decides what will be..

    One of my favourite days of the year

    That looks amazing :) I live in a small street with only 6 homes but if I was on a bigger road I would think about decorating the outside. There sure are some amazing displays and many many hours of work involved... Great Job

    Question

    Oh, so thats not true :( darn! :tongue_smilie:

    Question

    I would understand if i was challenged :) and I would respond as best I know how but I'm sure that there are non masons that wear the symbols for whatever reason :) Blessings

    Question

    Not that I have seen many wearing the symbols, but if a non mason was challenged here in Australia about displaying a symbol, im pretty sure that they would let a few not so friendly words fly.
  15. Bro Darren

    Question

    Things are different over here in Australia I guess. Im sure that their are lots of people that drive and walk around with symbols as fashion statements or statements of interest, but i would not challenge them with it. If i did not know them personally, I don't think that I'd just walk up to...

    Question

    Its my understanding that challenges and questions are mainly for Lodges to ensure that only Brothers are granted access to the Lodge meetings. I would never expect some random guy from the street to come up and challenge me based on cap, shirt or ring and in my opinion nor should they. If I was...

    5 critical truths Gen Ys need to hear:

    Found this on a local Aussie website and thought id share it with you 1. Sometimes there is a loser While every runner in the race at school may have received a ribbon, life simply doesn't operate the same way. Sometimes there are losers. Sometimes you don't get the job. Sometimes you will...

    Those Masons are all around us.

    Thank you Brother :) I have a million questions being so new, but i trust that each of them will be answered in the right time. Blessings to you and your family :)

    Those Masons are all around us.

    I have no idea my Brother, but when i glanced upon the S&C for the first time during my initiation, I did not pay attention to its configuration or position and nobody revealed or related to me the differences as such. My blood Brother has an interest in Freemasonry just as I did before...
