    Increasing Membership The Right Way

    Are you talking about making changes to the ritual? If so then I don't think that's the point the author is trying to make. I think the point was that we need to improve our ability to perform the ritual in a manner that's inspiring and moving. I've seen ritual where the WM had to be...

    Importance of sitting in the East

    Sitting in the East -is- very important IMO...but it's not a goal every mason should rush towards and it's certainly not a position befitting every mason either. I've always felt that the people that want to be in leadership positions are the last people you want in those positions. Sitting in...

    Increasing Membership The Right Way

    Great article! I agree with everything I read and it's refreshing to see other people don't like the idea of cheapening the craft.

    Hostess going under

    You can still find them on EBay ATM...if you wanna pay $50+ a box. I saw four boxes go for about $300 a few days ago.

    Mass Conferring vs. Individual/small groups

    Do you mean in a single day or at once? Also, what timing reasons could possibly call for that?

    Hostess going under

    I better stockpile my Twinkies now so I won't have to do without when the zombie apocalypse is here. :P

    Ironic Story/ World Conspiracies

    I remember after I graduated and was working at an HEB. I was taking groceries out to a customer's car and she looks up at the chem/contrails in the sky and tells me all about it. She assured me that we'd all be living in FEMA camps outside each major city within a few months. That was back...

    Serial numbers on Guns...

    If you have any cop friends they could likely run those numbers and tell you who it belonged to. I know officers who have been able to do that before.

    Sacred Geometry

    I've seen that same argument used countless times by Athiests to justify their beliefs. You can't paint everything with such broad brush strokes. Just because you can't prove something right off the bat doesn't discredit it. As a biologist I can appreciate the scientific method and the...

    Sacred Geometry

    :blink: The same scientists that believed the world was flat and advocated use of leeches to heal the sick? I don't know about it being nonsense brother. Respectfully, I think we shouldn't dismiss one another's beliefs as rubbish simply because we don't subscribe to it. Personally, I think...

    Sacred Geometry

    I don't find it mundane at all, check this out: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number That's just scratching the surface in my opinion.

    Importance of sitting in the East

    Most the lodges in my area are made up primarily of PMs. Once new blood gets raised it isn't long before a WM if he sticks around long enough. I think my lodge actually has a lower ratio of PMs than most the lodges in my district but I'd say you definitely still have a majority.

    Importance of sitting in the East

    Silly Cajun, everyone knows that the 33rd degree is the only one that counts. :001_cool:

    Ol' skip is at it again

    He'd just turn it against us. I believe this is the type of battle that can only be won by subduing our passions. Masonry takes good men and makes them better...and we are better than stooping to his level.

    Ol' skip is at it again

    Found it. As masons, anything we say or do can and will be used against us by these people. Best to just ignore them like the plague. Brethren, keep this is mind offline as well as online. I can't count the number of lodge functions I've seen in public places where our brethren speak as...

    I don't see where we are mentioned. Am I overlooking it?

    Ironic Story/ World Conspiracies

    What's always annoyed me was people hating masons because they suspect we worship Satan because of 'evidence' taken out of context. You know who does worship Satan? Why...the Church of Satan, of course! You don't even have to speculate about it because it's in the name of the group, go bother...

    healthy eating

    Pretty sure they were/are...I mean it's uranium. Don't they still use it? This reminded me of when I was in Jr. High we had this soda that was called Surge. It had more sugar and caffeine than Mountain Dew and kids were drinking like five or six of them during their lunch period. You can...

    healthy eating

    "Healthy" means it probably won't kill you soon after you eat it. McDonalds is "healthy".
