Sadly brothers i think he might of encountered a lodge that does not recognize Prince Hall AND ignorantly assumed that he was from a PH lodge based on the color of his skin. This is unfortunate. We in florida do not "recognize" prince hall but i would accept anyone into the lodge to chat and...

AF and AM vs F and AM States What is the difference between AF and AM vs F and AM STATES? AF and AM stands for Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. F and AM stands for Free and Accepted Masons. In actuality, it does not matter whether you join an AF & AM lodge or an F & AM lodge in the...

Hmmm i know people who went through the "Ancient" and Accepted, have a lot more wording. Makes ours look like the "short version"

Interesting.

I read that list. I think the explanation of why it was bestowed upon them would be more interesting.

Ive heard that being made MM mason at sight is just as it is. No degrees or nothing. Your just pretty much given it. With all the benefits of a MM. I mean i don't see why someone would want that. To me its about the experience and hard work.

I dont think anyone who was made a mason at sight would ever tell anyone. Id personally keep it to myself if it was me.

Well some lodges, if you volunteer to do something once, its now your job! Lol

Calls the lodge from labor to refreshment ...... In braille!

Yep i guess.

Funny we had a guy that was initiated and from what i was told he left because he thought he was gonna just be made a MM because he was like a big shot in the state and felt he i guess shouldn't have to do the work.

Lol i mowed like 2 acres of grass around my lodge today and they were nice enough to wave ... All 10 brothers ;). Still love my lodge!

I think you are talking about getting new people to approach the west gate. I think (correct me if im wrong) this thread is about guarding it from people approaching who are not worthy or Masonic material.

Welcome brother!

To me. Becoming better, always looking to improve, equality, becoming a stand up human being.

If it was me and i knew it to be his wife at the time i would feel like i was disrespecting him. If its a woman whom i never met nor known her husband to have been a mason i see it as "i had no idea" Same thing as dating a dead friends ex wife. It just dont sit right. Hope that helps! Im...

If the mason was dating a widow of a mason whom he never met i dont see why not. But if its a widow of a mason he sat in lodge with, well thats just disrespectful. But to each his own.

Our meetings are allways 1-2 hours. We do have masonic education and its informative. Last meeting we went over masonic etiquette. Now my problem with all of the speakers time is.... He reads everything printed off a paper so it sounds like a stuttering robot. THAT makes you want to fall to...

I think its because they stay somewhat in the area of their station as in the word "stationed" The Wm does move from the podium but stays on the east side of the lodge and never passes the east side if the lodge, (unless he takes it upon him self to shake the hand of a candidate who had done...

It dont matter who you talk to, who express your feelings to about a new person petitioning to get in your lodge. Thats just in my opinion "making people aware of people coming towards the gate". I personally don't gossip about future people traveling towards the west gate because i subdue my...
