I'll be there with a few other 148ers. Hope to see ya there Brother Blake.

Remember your EA charge. There are great instructions for this very question.

One black ball is a good thing for reasons such as Huw mentioned. The whole process can use some mending there is no arguing that but I think it goes deeper than our processes it is our mindset. I think allot of masons feel we are dyeing and the only cure or fix-all is to replenish the...

It is important Masonry is sought out, recruiting is prohibited anywhere here in the US. A bustling lodge is important as well but is meaningless in the end if the laborers are not working on their temple. Lodges come and go but the Mason and what he does is what matters most. If people want...

Brethren, Most Worshipful Grand Master T.E. (Gene) Carnes has graciously agreed to our Senior Warden Mark Crockett's request to visit Fort Worth Lodge 148 to share Masonic Light. Scheduled for Friday September 2nd, 2011 at the Fort Worth Masonic Temple. Dinner will be served at 6pm on...

I am curious about the master's time limit because it is silent about that? Isn't there another article dealing with a MM who does not perform his proficeny and A.L.L. program in 90 days?

Re: you cannot destroy the strongman's goods... We have a few more than that so I have been told but I have never counted them myself. By my rough estimate we have around 3200 hundred words for the EA and about 1,500 for the FC and around the same for the Masters. THis is a really rough...

This has already happened, Women are being taught the principles of masonry in groups that are themselves Freemasons just not the same lineage as our fraternity. If anyone feels the need to place a right or wrong title on one or the other more power to them it does not change my group in the...

If the master reminds everyone to place there phone on vibrate it usually acts as a reminder to good men that cell phones should not be a distraction while lodge is open and only come out for good reason.

Yes absolutely the Master can order this but that would probably cause some tension and hamper peace and harmony. I think it is more appropriate to deal with the people doing it disrespectfully than make a blanket rule for the lodge. If you ever wonder if the master has the power to do...

Super awesome Brother Cliff! I have been waiting on a cliff for some more Porter.

I plan on visiting a SM at Panther City this year because I am embarresd to say I have never been to one. I have helped with many degrees but never been to my roommates Stated Meeting!

Keep in mind each lodge is different and what we would never do at our home lodge may work just fine at another. I have to say I agree there is a better time to text than in lodge but do not let it erk you and certianly do not hesitate to whisper counsel in that brothers ear as well. This will...

Steward is such a great position in the line up enjoy it while it last. It is the only position where you can please everyone! ;)

Re: you cannot destroy the strongman's goods... FYI as well Brother Stewart is that Texas is one of the few states which still require memory work to progress through degrees. Something to be proud of as Texans though is that no other jurisdiction in the world has to memorize as much as we...

What if the problem was the large numbers we had 50 years ago and Masonry is just correcting itself?

You expect a normal year as WM especially in a booming lodge like Panther City, um good luck on that one. ;)

thanks brother Bruce your counsel was spot on many times and invaluable to me. I am so very greatful for how this year forged my character, it is an experience I could only have gotten in Freemasonry. Now back to work.
