Does Grand Lodge get a % of the earnings on each $100 a lodge has invested?

..! LMAO That is classic Bill.

Re: What does it mean to be a mason? (Moved from "The Building") Could not agree with that statement more. There is only one point within the circle and Masonry cannot keep us in those due bounds only the individual can choose to keep himself circumscribed. Masonry simply reminds us those...

rub some mud on it

"trunk lodge"? I bet GL loves that!? I would love to see you guys running around in trunks though bet that would be a sight to make eyes sore! Could it be said any better than Brother Cliff? There is so much more to the craft than who has graced its ranks.

I think he is referring to the oldest original charter. Most original charters where lost predominantly through fire or other manner but the PHA charter is the oldest original in America if memory serves me right. I will have to go find some cites on this because I just vaguely remember...

No, ignorance caused this conflict and education is fixing it.

I would think being black in our society adds its sweetness to being a mason. Kinda like I like to be called a Texas Mason, because I want to honor all those worthy brothers of the past who busted their butts to carve out such a mark on society as Texas Masons have made. Not in any way to...

He has opened his eyes briefly a few times and I was told he even tried to pull out his breathing tube which is a great sign from the dip he took. He is one heck of a fighter and if anybody can pull through this he can.

Yes sir the 11th it is and if nothing else our Musician Hando Nahkur will make it worth your while! ;) http://www.handonahkur.com/

Depends on who you ask now! The best thing about a growing lodge is that we have the unified focus of making it better but how we as individuals go about doing that is different sometimes vastly but it all fits together for a rockin lodge.

toot toot, a good site is crucial to the growth of any lodge today. Since this time through that site we have Raised 27 MM FC 7 EA 16 Elected waiting degrees 7

2 years and my lodge is dong much much better. The WM has a thing or two to learn in my opinion! Grand Lodge Officers and the Grand West have turned there attention to the issues they face. Whether that attention is good or bad we seem to have all hands on deck trying to "fix" Grand Lodge...

Great post. Number 7 on that list hit home because we are dealing with that now in our lodge. It is hard to do the nitty gritty work without looking a little clique'ish.

Brother Chris those secrets you seek are there just no where near the service. If I may make a comparison. Masonry is similar to those 3-d pictures that where so popular in the 90's that you had to "unfocus" and stare at for an extended period of time before the image would begin to manifest...

My cousin (Sirius) brought in my Dad whom in return said my older Brother and I had to do it so we did. Thought it was decent at best but the politics ran me off like a scolded dog after I was raised. Then later found my nitch and have never looked back. I had a few in my family tree that...

I myself had the pleasure or exasperating experience of growing up with brothers, 1 older and 2 younger. I was as well very close to my cousins which where all boys as well. My Grandparents had 9 grandsons and no grand daughters. Things could get hairy whether one of us was shooting the other...

Can we as people with such immature mentalities as a whole do without socialist programs? I for one am happy to have the police, fire department, libraries, national parks, etc... but until we mature as a society then socialist programs such as mentioned here will be needed. Take a quick look...

Great post Brother Dave. I remember the cola wars well and that is a very colorful comparison to our troubles now! Brother Stewart's wisdom is very true, hot heads get us no where so we must all "be a couple of Fonzies and be cool" Now on to the Facts Jack. Nothing is wrong with a little...
