Hello and welcome to the forums. Glad to have you and you will find many good brothers here. I know being newly raised(within the past year) I have learned a tremendous amount that I would not have without this forum, most of it has been Masonic law and procedure/traditions related. We have...

I knew I should have taken a screen shot. Tricky Secretaries!

My initiation into the Scottish Rite. Our lodge is casual dress, jeans/slacks and polo/button up is sufficient. I filled out my application for the Scottish Rite turned it in and this summer I attended. I had asked a couple brethren the dress attire and was told casual. When I attended the...

Err I just posted a whole lot of comments in the other thread to this :S

On a different note if you look at America as a whole I think you can see that we all struggle with these four things. Spiritual look at the number of crazy cults we have had, churches, and religions that are rampant in America but most are struggling membership wise now. Physical how many...

Mixed thoughts to be honest. Personal story (I'm 29) I grew up in a house of parents who stayed together, dad worked long hours but church was the one thing that was not missed, Dad is my best friend in life. My friends story I would say 50% of my friends had divorced parents, they were left...

The lodges that I highlighted in Red will be relative in distance to your friend. I have been to the Scottish Rite Temple and it is a great facility rich with history however I have not been to a lodge meeting there. I hope this helps you out. Three lodges meet at 311 W. 7th St., Austin...

Welcome to Masons of Texas. The EA is the hardest degree after that it is all down hill in my opinion.

Did anybody watch the Gotti special they had? What were your thoughts on it? I'm sorry but after watching that I came away thinking wow the blond daughter knows more then she is saying. Interesting how he tried to insulate his family and yet so much of his family(brothers, son, son-in-law)...

That wouldn't EVER happen! :D I'm going to mention this idea to the WM of our lodge Tuesday and see what he thinks about doing something this Christmas.

Nightjmper, I did not know that the proper protocol was to go through the GLoTX either. One of the good things about this forum is we can all learn and improve ourselves together. I would recommend trying to find a lodge to visit.

The lodge in Georgetown is located on College St., which is just east of San Gabriel Park. I am a member of the lodge in Taylor which is at the corner of Donna and Mallard, a stones throw from the Taylor High School.

I don't think I could play on that. To much to distract you, cool to have for a conversation piece though.

I have a charge that I must follow. If my family needs me then I must attend to it. In keeping with that thought how can I help and assist with the craft if I let everything else slip. I must first take care of the home front so that I have a solid foundation to enhance the foundation of the...

I just assumed all the above mentioned Masons were PM. :D

Welcome to the forums GLAD to have you. If you don't mind me asking where is Lyons #290 located in Austin? I hope one day we will be able to visit each others lodges.

Thank you for sharing this with us. Congrats!

I knew that China has been very progressive in recent years. I did not know to what extent they had progressed the religious aspect surprises me but is a good thing. Thank you for clarifying my comments.

China is a Communist country and typically communism and Freemasonry does not go hand in hand. So I would be surprised if there are any lodges that are openly meeting in China. Taiwan, while still claimed by China, has its own government and is not communist in any shape of form from my...

How many had a positive outlook on the Masons or did you have a chance to find out?
