The Alamo meeting is next friday in San Antonio(kinda hard to do it elsewhere I know). I'm curious if any of our Brethren are coming in from the Tyler area. A gentleman who I grew up looking up to is in Tyler however he is 80 years old and I need to know if there is anybody who could give him...

Re: Bill Lins Rooks Hats off Brother Lins great job and to all the Brothers who gave imput into it.

Activities or Organizations would work for putting freemasonry. I wouldn't list it alone though, I would list all membership ie rotary, lions, church, etc.. I'll reference Grand law Art. 505. Certain Other Masonic Disciplinary Violations (3)(f)on this though. I know this is in reference to...

My choice in wording was not the best. Again I don't care what the volume may be, doesn't matter to me. A person could claim that he had witnessed something and it was divinely inspired, thus writing it down. It would still serve as a Sacred Volume. If you look at lessons involved then there are...

This quote sums up why it is not inflammatory. I can take single things from most of masonry and to the unlearned make it into the most outrageous of ideas. Holy Scriptures may not be the best words but something should be in there that defines a Sacred Volume of Laws. Some may not agree or...

Not sure if anybody has ever read this Knights of the North - Laudable Pursuit. It is a interesting read about building a lodge up and not cheapening the experiance.

Brother Tom, me and you have discussed this before. I have a unique perspective on this probably. I'm currently Senior Steward and if it pleases the lodge and WM then I will progress further in the chairs. However if I do not feel like I'm ready to be a JW then I shall at that time withdrawl...

If I misspeak in this response I hope another well informed brother will correct me. It has been years since Dues have gone up for GLoTX, I believe 1997(not sure) was when it was last increased. It was a battle then to increase dues, and unfortunately they did not vote at that time to increase...

What is posted is a abbreviated version of the whole resolution submited. Grand Lodge only included the primary portion of it and not the entire wording kinda like the way Brother Lins posted then entire resolution for #21. Each one has a resolution attached.

I support the increase, you can't operated a 100K member organization for $7.00 a person. Sorry just doesn't work. Oppose: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17 Need More information: 6, 9, 12, 20, 22 Support: 3, 5, 11, 13, 18, 19, 21, 23 4. I have a huge issue with this one. Due to...

Thank you. You have been on a roll today and I needed some laughter today.

I think dues should increase 3% a year. So get the dues set and then set an automatic yearly percentage increase. Since when has the cost of living gone down?

So does that mean that it was no and then a Oh? As in Oh I am doing that?

Isn't ya'lls DI trying for Grand Secretary this year?

I meant to include this and forgot. In my opinion Divine Authenticity is something revealed to X person from the GAoTU. Joseph Smith(Latter day Saints), Muhammad(Qu'ran), Bible (Multiple people), etc.. Under one of the results for Hindu there is this reference for what is evidence of Divine...

Who is to say what anothers God binds a person to if there is no sacred volume of law. When I do a Google search for "What is Divine Authenticity" the two prevelant religions that pop up are Christianity and Hinduism (top five results). I personally think that with out the devine...

Disagree, and here is why,you need to include sacred volume of laws or something along those lines. Just by the nature of the ceremonies a person must believe in some form of Sacred laws.

Just what I wanted this Sunday afternoon, "A visual of a bunch of old naked fat guys". Some not so old or fat but hello they are still all guys! Where is the puke icon? :6::52: Actually this theory is great for doing public speaking but in lodge the thing about it is they have all been...

Our declining membership would be solved with education of people becoming true Masons. Transparency should be at the heart of a Mason. Bigotry/racism would be solved by education, the example of what some might set would be frowned on by education and would embolden others to stand against it...

I'm only trying to help out a couple of brothers, one who is making a suggestion and the other for a loftier position and a pretty apron. :D
