It helps if you can watch the degree being conferred on another candidate. I went to four EA degrees while I was learning my memory work. I went to two or three FC's while learning that work. Plus, like was already stated, learn both the questions and the answers- helps you keep things in order.

SK DGC Melear, I for one would enjoy sharing views and opinions with our leaders! S&F SK BroBill

Bro. Blake, when I try to access that link I receive a message that I do not have permission to access that page. This would be a great tool for me in that I'm the Committee Chair for Helotes York Rite's Communications Committee and I try to post our events to the widest possible Masonic...

The Light of Masonry is as important now as at any time in history; some might say more. As we as a nation reflect on those fateful events on September 11th, 2001, I will also personally reflect on the lessons we learn and propagate through our practice of Freemasonry and on how best to further...

It occured to me after I posted my pic that this is a good occasion to mention the fact that since I put my plates on my truck, I've collected five business cards from brethren who left them under my wiper blade. The plates are working out to be a good way to expand our masonic circles. I'm...

Thank you for posting that correspondence. I understand they were refering to me when they discussed people that were not involved and didn't have all the information and also the reference to posting in forums such as FaceBook. I did not intend to stray into any area that might harm the...

I grew up in Maryland and both of my sisters were in Job's Daughters. I was saddened to hear the edict, but I understand that our Grand Lodge has to make some very tough decisions occasionally. I hope that GL is able to bring our masonic family back together in the future, but I must support...

Found on FaceBook Someone recommended the Masons of Texas link on our Chapter/Council FaceBook page. I have- since then- shared the link through our FB page and in our E-Trestleboard which reaches about 80 brothers

Based on the information I had (and there may have been more info I was unaware of), yes, I think they could reconcile with the Grand Lodge. I never did find out why they did not want to implement the background checks, but from all I DO know, that might be enough. The Masonic Home & School and...

The Ban I believe the Job's Daughters refused to comply with the requirement for background checks on anyone dealing with the girls. This was during the same time the Grand Lodge was being sued for an incident at the (now closed) Texas Masonic Home and School involving a resident. It was an...

Thank you Companion! I believe we three DO agree!

Vote is Secret by Law I believe it is a Masonic Offense to discuss how you vote or to question a brother as to how they vote.
