    Examining a Brother

    Because that is not all that is required, in fact a dues card isn't even required anywhere in the Constitution except under article 380:which says: Upon notification to the Worshipful Master, and at his discretion, a member of a Lodge under the jourisdiction of this Grand Lodge may visit...

    Free born vs Slavery

    This is a subject that has always bothered me, not on a racial basis, but just on the grounds that slavery of any kind has no place in the country that most of us live in or in the entire world for that matter. I am thankful to all of you for voicing your opinions and discussing the tough...

    Examining a Brother

    Article 223- Necessary Paraphernalia for Lodges in Texas ( item 17) Requires that each Texas Lodge have a small Bible for an Examining Committie. Other then that I am not aware of any other guide lines for determining if a brother is worthy to come inside or not. In years past, I have seen G&Ws...

    Crossing your legs during Lodge

    In some cultures it is considered an insult to show the sole of your foot to another person.. I agree with Brother Jones on this one, besides It truly does not look as if a brother is showing proper respect for the office he holds if he is slouching or sitting with his leggs crossed. This is...

    Raffles/Auctions

    I believe you are right. If you are holding a silent auction, then the people who participate know what the item is that they are bidding on. There is no chance involved in this type of fundraiser.

    Worshipful Master

    Brother Blake, I voted yes on this issue for several reasons. The first of which is Article 187 which requires that the three principal officers of a new lodge must be able to collectively confer all three degrees in Due form. I know that there are those who will argue that we are not seeking...

    Origins of Masonry?

    I agree with you partially on this subject, but MASONS built King Solomans Temple. There had to exist some knowledge and levels of skill in the work of stone , well before the temple was erected. I can certainly see where the influence of such a wise and good a man as King Soloman would have...

    Origins of Masonry?

    Other....... Perhaps in or by another name, but the principals that we believe in, have been handed down from time well before the first building made of stone or brick. Perhaps since the beginning of humankind its-self. Who passed on the concept of God or Supreme Architect ? I suspect that our...
