The first time one of my yankee friends recommended putting chili on sphagetti, I didn't know what to think. Tried it, liked it; but I still prefer serving it with Jiffy Cornbread.

Greetings. Might I say to you that when we lived in Asia, my family acquired quite a taste for curry. I've been thinking of incorporating it into a chili recipe.

Awesome. Do you think I'll be allowed to bring my own goat; or is the candidate required to use one the lodge provides? Kidding of course... Thank you gentlemen for the information. I'm a big fan of the forum here; and find it ever interesting and helpful. Appreciate it.

makes sense... I was under the impression that one was not conferred a particular degree until one knew the work. I think I understand now. Thanks.

It really is just a privilege to serve. The Marine Corps and the American taxpayer have done far more for me than I could ever repay them for. I'm the one who should be thankful.

Yeah... In Florida, either the Lodge itself or the Grand Lodge runs a criminal background check. It will indeed be worth the patient wait. I don't think anything regaeding the lodge happens very fast. From what I understand, the petition is read at meeting; then the backgroun check is run; only...

Petition submitted; am currently waiting to hear from the Investigative Committee.

Certainly no offense taken by me Benton. I'm just curious as to the mindset of some of those who consider themselves fundamental Christian. Before I say what I'm about to, let me preface it by saying that this is not an attempt to proselytize or force my beliefs on others. If any disagree...

Hey now... ;-) ... I happen to be a fundamentalist Christian. What I would like to know is when and how Masonry became incompatible with Christianity in the eyes of so many. This has to be somewhat modern... at least the current level of hostility must be somewhat modern. I am only 33; and...

Gentlemen: I hope i am not out of place in replying; as I am but a petitioner and not even an EA yet. However, please allow me to humbly submit for your consideration that not defending the fraternity may be doin some harm. When my wife an I were prayerfully considering whether or not I should...

I have already posted a few times; however, I thought it prudent to introduce myself in this forum. I am a displaced Texan (active duty Marine) living in Florida. I recently moved back to the States from Okinawa and petitioned a local lodge. Thanks to the mods and administrators for a great...

Gentlemen, I have a question concerning the investigative committee's procedures. Should they visit me at home, I assume it is OK to offer drinks/refreshments/supper etc? I read an earlier post where a gentleman offered refreshments which were refused; he stated his wife thought it slightly...

Petition submitted... now it's just a matter of waiting. The idea of the investigative committee doesn't worry me; but the idea of surviving a clean vote from an entire lodge of gentlemen (most of whom I have not met) worries me quite a bit. My two signers were the Worshipful Master and his son...

Milton, FL.... Santa Rosa Lodge.

I finally got established here at my new assignment (in Florida). I contacted the Lodge I had been corresponding with since before we arrived; and so far it's smooth sailing. The Worshipful Master contacted me soon after and welcomed me to meet with him and another brother on Wednesday to start...

Gentlemen: Thank you very much for your insights and opinions. Please keep them coming. As far as my current location, the lodge where I currently reside falls under the Grand Lodge of the Phillipines. The jurisdiction where I move to falls under Florida. I had thought about petitioning over...

Hey Gents: Once again thanks for the awesome website. Have a question concerning Masonic law. I am soon moving stateside and have been in touch with two lodges in the vicinity of where I will be living. One has brought up a point of Masonic Law that one is required to have lived in the state...

Speaking as a proud Texan who has been blessed with the opportunity to see, visit, spend time with folks all over the world, I've noticed another interesting cultural difference between us who are from God's Country (Texas) and the rest of the world. Take any given Texan and any given...

To clarify, not a Brother yet... except for the brotherhood of man; am petitioning when I transfer to Florida in about a month and a half. All that aside, it's been four and a half years since I've lived in the States. I will take any and all suggestions for good burgers that I simply must try...
