Cleaning cost have gone down dramatically. And the officers will do another year in their chair .

I won't say that I apologize, as the JW of my lodge, I have been on the investigation committee several times, and some of the answers you have to sit back and collect yourself. I had one believe that becoming a mason, that he would get better jobs, and more money. I've had several who had a...

Why do you want to be a freemason ? What do you hope to gain from being a mason ? Can you attend lodge meetings and degree work when need be ? Do you plan to participate in lodge functions? As far as taking a chair in your lodge ? Or are you in it for a ring and bumber sticker ?

It was sarcasm.

Can I be a honorary grandmaster??? I am a mason and completed my 3 degrees, and now am sitting in the south. I will write my GL and ask to be made grandmaster.

Let's make everyone a honorary grandmaster. There's no place for this nonsense in our craft. The more and more I read, I wonder more and more why I became a Mason, and if I want to continue the journey

I like that, weed out the bad people who are radical and we'll kick them out. But we'll look the other way for the brother who beats his wife or cheats the lodge and his brother. How rich !

Say one thing, do another.

I dont believe you will get any answers here if you and your lodge is irregular. Or our words, clandestine.

Please correct me if im wrong. Freemasonry is a private fraternity. And you pay dues to enjoy the rights and benefits of freemasonry. If it were public, then you wouldn't have to pay dues and petition a lodge, you could go right on in and sit in on degrees and meetings. Like all clubs...

Same old story. But its always entertaining to talk about our declining numbers and what we are not doing, YET, we can not come up with a solution to fix our problems. Why is that ? Through i do look around and wonder why alot of my brethren became members in the first place.

Well I'll be a Turkey's uncle. In most lodges that i attend, they have Masonic merchandise for sale in display cases as you walk in.

Im a 40th degree mason. A honor bestowed apon me by the lizzard grandest master zook zook. But dont tell anyone.

No, pretty healthy, one played golf and fished, the other and his wife traveled alot. But we all know its always something else.

I thought it was fitting.

Thou o God knowest our down sitting and our Uprising and understand our thoughts afar off shield and defend us from the evil intentions of our enemies and support us under the trials and affections we are destined to endure while traveling through this Vale of Tears .man that is born of woman...

Well put, I'll convey that to the line officers that got it and the new widow of my home lodge

Just wait for them to be on their death bed, and say, well we protected your privacy. We are dealing with that mess hear in southern Illinois. 2 brother's of 2 different lodges have already passed away from covid. Yes covid, one lodge tried to hide it, until the line officers all tested...

This could be possible. Thank you for your assistance. But it brings me no closer to how it got here, I've seen on some older aprons, that the 2 buttons may represent the junior Warden or senior warden.
