The COW is made up of 5 brothers who make themselves availabe to serve the GLOT for a period of 5 years. They are the only committee in GL that selects their own Chairman. There is also a requirement that they must make themselves familiar with the work.

Brother Rhit, I often wonder why a brother will spend money on jewelery, but raises heck, when ever we talk of raising dues or the percapita tax? I think everyone will like the next Seal to come out.

I believe that each GM wants to have something at GL that is uniquely his, other then having a portrait hanging on the wall. Keep in mind that the jewelery committee each year raises over a hundred thousand dollars that goes into the kitty to offset all of the GM's travel expenses . Each one is...

Don't get too depressed , I know most of our better halfs would never think of joining. : ))

I think everyone here knows that I was dissapointed when code books were voted as not being illegal to own in Texas. I also agree with most of what Brother Reader says in his post. The only way to truly get the work in your head is by learning it mouth to ear. HOWEVER, I have not personally...

The C.O.W. did not back the resolution that made it legal to own a code book, and it passed. It will be an intresting to see how this and some other resolutions do during the 2009 session.

I sure can not argue with that logic Brother. I do not understand why some of our brothers just do not uderstand that it takes money to operate any business, foundation,institution and fraternity. We have discussed the fact that any lodge can hold a simple fundraiser and make enough money to pay...

There could be a good bit of diference between being open, and having Women Masons. I feel that we are already open to women in our lodges in Texas, however I do not forsee them becoming members of our fraternity any time soon. We are having enough issues just trying to accept the concept of...

This forum does not hedge this question. We have had several great discussions regarding this issue. Simply put, there is no place for racism in our fraternity. It is not only inconsistent with our obligations, it is just not right.

It means that even though a second is a second in length, our brains have the absolute ability to cast our own slant on the measurement. Kind of remeinds me of the opening dialogue in " The Twilight Zone"

I suppose that Justice really does, sooner or later overtake all of us. In this instance it appears that truth is also just.

Brother Josh, I think that we all agree that losing any lodge for any reason is something that is not good for our fraternity. I also would have to assume from most of the comments, that the one thing that most of us would not excuse is apathy from the membership of any lodge. If the members do...

I will ask the chairman ( Gary Alexander) of the committee that question this weekend and give you an answer later.

I concurr...

It is a catch Brother Shelton, but one that we need to look at and determine how to correct the situation.

All of these things are very important and I agree that the dollar amount is minimal, ( I wonder what is going to happen when the per capita gets to 25-30 Dollars) and that any decent fundraiser will net the amount in question. I still have to wonder if perhaps some of the lodges are now filled...

It is $14.25, If the Lodge secretary sent a message to all the members and was told we need an additional $14.25 to help or we will be shut down and the members don't respond. How is that helping Masonry? I mean you can't tell me you can't find $14.25 in your change bowl. Don't get tme wrong...

Urban , in both lodges one in Dallas the other in League City. Both lodges take their memory work quite seriously, and do good ritualistic work.

I will remember it Brother Red. I do agree that there is always "one". I will also pray to the Supreme Architect that I am never that person.

My questionis , Do the two DI's agree on everything concerning the ritual ???
