OK. I'll ask... In what way, or ways, does the Craft offer redemption?

Brothers jwhoff and AAJ have made me smile today. It is a wonderful way to start of the new year. Thanks to you both.

Heh... Can't have one without the other. More to the point of mch4970's question, the Lodge is probably not the place for this. A brother that misguided deserves to be corrected, but in the gentlest possible manner. He does not deserve to be mocked in an open Lodge, his or any other. What I...

In general, I agree with your observations. Equating Asange and Thomas Payne might be a bit of stretch, but nevertheless your point is valid; the biggest beef people have is that he has embarrassed them. There has been, to date, no release of any truly sensitive information that would have had a...

Well said indeed. So..., you've certainly not "lost the meaning of Freemasonry", but can we say the same for the WM whose words your quoted? Or for those unlucky enough to depend on him for Light?

Harmony is pursued/achieved when we have the desire to expand our knowledge to the extent that we no longer live in fear of that which we do not understand. Fear and ignorance breed mistrust and hatred. Always. Freemasonry, in virtually all of it's lessons, admonishes us to listen, learn, and...

So true, and yet how is it that, almost 10 years into the 21st century, so many still can't get past this, the most superficial of things that define a person?

Harmony.

Happy Holidays... to everyone.

Sandra and I were lucky enough to catch a few glimpses of the event through the clouds. It was worth every minute of lost sleep. For sure, but it's going to take some work now, to get my brain to unhook the "The Dan Band" images from those of the eclipse. Eeewww... :28:

Yep. Insert the faction of your choice after "radical" and there's your problem. TEDx in College Station? Sign me up!

Wow. Thanks for sharing that. I can't believe I've not come across Hazeleton's work before. The book stack is going to grow a bit now. "Some of these verses are definite in meaning, and others are ambiguous the perverse of heart will seek out the ambiguities trying to create discord by...

Welcome, Brother.

Dang if this "on-line community" thing doesn't have it's moments of usefulness. :001_cool:

I vote yes, but only because I interpret the question a bit differently than Brother Porter. I agree with his rationale completely. For so many Masons the "meaning" of Freemasonry has never even been seen. For many of the rest it has been forgotten or cast aside. I call that "lost", but that's a...

Welcome, Brother Keven!
