You are right brother Dave I have heard the same thing that lowering the charity inour per capita would put our ad valureum tax credit we just got at risk. I do not know the language of the legislation but I would guess it had to do with our charity for society not for each other as masons and...

If amendment 2 fails I will withdraw amendments 4 and 1 and just vote on the GM recommendation as is.

My thread with these amendments where lost in translation so wanted to repost them with my introduction to them. I hope maybe the introductions make them easier to understand. I plan to present them in this order as well. Grand Masters Recommendation: Amendment 3 offered by: • William...

Swingers?

This is a document showing all states per capita. While we are no Californa, I feel we should not be at the bottom of the list either.

I like that RW Carnes dug into the masonic symbol chest and used the hive for his coin

Let me start my post by saying I do believe this resolution needs to pass in one form or another. It could be really bad if this fails and we cannot see an increase for another 5 years. The trick is we HAVE to as a Grand Lodge legislate better rules for the use of our money. We will have 2...

I am starting it tonight, thanks for the inspiration Cliff.

I have read in numerous places that a jewler in the 40's made the G in the S&Q famous. I would have to look for the cite as I stumble across it. I have read as well the Yod is placed there.

That one does sting Brother Bill but I would propose it is even lower than 10%. I mean the average lodge has about 10% of their membership that actively shows up to lodge and of that 10% I would say at best half or 5% could teach candidates Q&A and confer every degree. A mason not concerned...

So mote it be! Simply wake up!

Thank you for all the brothers who have purchased a ticket! MoT Rocks! Keep'em coming Brothers it is for a worthy cause.

Like you can just throw that out there! ;) I have always thought the term "I am" refers to God himself. So to say I am the way the truth and the light is the same as God is the way the truth and the light. My take of course but it does kinda say that in the Bible when God and Moses have...

This thread was wiped out with the fun that happened the other day so I wanted to put it back up because so many good brothers had already purchased tickets. This post was much more succesful than I anticipated and I cannot thank you brothers enough for your generosity. Here are the details on...

woot woot Bro.s from Cooke-Peavy. I am going to have to make the haul and come visit you fellers again.

ok this is the last one I will steal from Yehuda Berg for awhile but I do love the mans wisdom. Go visit his site it is full of nuggets if you like to mine for wisdom. Wednesday, Oct 20, 2010 This story is something I heard while traveling around, and it’s such a powerful lesson that I...

great article Brother

nice long overdue of course

My Dad Senior Deaconed me through my first 2 degrees then my cousin did the third degree SD. I was also my Dad's Senior Deacon the year he was WM and it was one of the best years of my life. Dad and Son in lodge is one of the special secrets of the craft in my opinion congratulations on this...

Good point Brother, I would love to see that proof as well. I see proof to the contrary that society is no worse and maybe even a little better for the diversity. I have always felt ignorance is our biggest flaw as humans and it is something we all share in common. No matter how smart we get...
