Brother Ken, I do not disagree with you on much of what you said, however a true Code Book has not been written in Texas and the chance of it happening was just voted down by the Grand West. With that in mind , what is our next step? I have sat in a minimum of 4 to 6 forums and exams in the...

Brother Ray, I for one do not see where RW Dodson's move made any diffrence. There are still some DI's out there who have problems with an A Certificate Exam. Being that the gross number of people who are even intrested in obtaining an A Certificate continues to dwindle each year it wont be too...

My Brother, I well remember the days of which you speak, I also remember that it was the duty of the DI or a Member of the Com on Work, to sign a document (Form 71- I think) That had to be signed by an Installing Officer at Installation stating that the brethren were all certified. This changed...

I was there on Thursday Evening after the awards Ceremonies were completed at Grand Lodge. It was pretty well thinning out by then. I ran into a few fellas from Anson Jones and from Pearland. I think I may have seen Hippie based on his picture, but I lost him in the crowd.

I will be at Crickets some time Friday and for sure on Thursday evening. My wife has a cruise meeting there for a trip that several are going on in February. I look forward to seeing all of you there. Gerald Harris

And you were right in saying that!I would be sure that Brother Sec- PT does not get another chance to PT the Secretaries position.

quote:There are some hang-ons in ritual not fully removed from Judeo-Christian tenets. For example, in the Lightfoot manual, one of the Masonic funeral services includes the Lord's Prayer. I am not convinced that the Lords Prayer is referring to Jesus Christ.... God is also referred to as...

Brother Scotty. I am sorry to hear that you are having problems in your lodge room. I am hopeful that after this episode, your problems will diminish somewhat. Sometimes it seems that the brethren need to be reminded that the Master is in charge of the lodge room, and that their sideline...

My Brother, Politics and or being politicaly correct do not come into my Masonry. I am one of the OLD GUYS and I assure you I have met many brothers down through the last several years who have openly made statements regarding their dislike of men with a different color of skin then their own...

There is no doubt in my mind. It is in fact LONG overdue. I have waited for many years to see Brothers act like Brothers. I applaude those of you who continue to work towards this goal. In the meantime, I want to caution each of you to remember that we are not battling against bad men , we are...

What, you make mistakes ?? Brother Reader I know that you have an "A" Esetoric Certificate !! : )) I have never seen any brother do everything perfectly correct ever time they open their mouth, but I do know a few who really make an attempt at getting it right ever time. I believe ( like you)...

I agree with this. As Brother Wyndell just pointed out that paragraph is speaking of while in Lodge. Thats my opinion though, I have been know to be wrong. Brother Josh, I would venture to say that we have all been wrong a time or two. I for one find it intresting how my own opinion can...

Good point Brother Dennis. I know that then MWSA of the 31st Dist , voted this down last year. I am not sure why, but it was voted down. I believe like you, that the brethren who have served as a President of the association showed a great amount of interist in the association once befre, so...

Just as it should be my brother ! We as Master Masons should always remember that.

I am anxious to see just how far #9 gets at Grand Lodge.

Brother Sessums has just completed his 5th year of his first term, and most of the others have served multiple terms. All of their terms end on staggered years so that we should never have to vote on more then one position during any GL session.

32 and a half years...there a bout

I have actually heard it presented in the manner you recomend, however it received tremendous oppisition. I am still convinced that there is a way to present it and get the Past Masters of Texas on board. Having been on RW Griffins planning team, I am pretty partial to that seal as well.

I think that is a great project for you to research Brother Reader ! I am curious as well.

Any member of COW can run again after 5 years, and any brother who fills the requirements, may run against the incumbent. This very scenerio is playing out this year as RW Sessums is making himself available again as an incumbent, and Brother D. Anthony is making himself available as well.
