Yes sir , we have a newly formed Order of the Thistle ( otherwise known as the Knights of Saint Andrew) here in Galveston. The group has just taken over the 29th degree here and are already very busy working in and about the temple. I as the Reunion Director definately look forward to their...
I am trying to find the post that some brother stated that Dan Brown's next book was supposed to portray George Washington in a less than nice light. I am not sure where the information came from. I am still trying to find time to read the present book.
I don't see a problem, but maybe one of you more knowledgeable Brothers could interpret it better.

Brother Blake I can assure you that I have seen many Christmas programs inside a Masonic Lodge Room, even a movie or two. I...
Good for you Brother ! I suppose a kilt is very dresssy in certain circles. I visited the Dallas SR Stated I think in August . Your Order of the Thistle Honor Guard was impressive.
Welcome to our friendly discussion boards. We look forward to hearing from new members and getting your feedback. You will get to spend many hours here as there is always a good thread or several good threads running here. The administrator and moderators do a good job of keeping everything...
I am as curious as you are. I have seen them for several years ( at least 10 that I know of) I used to know a couple of blood brothers who were dressed the same way, both of whom traveled and made as many MM degrees as they couuld. I think one of them was a DI. Both of them did excelent work. I...
Along with those overalls ( which are starched and ironed) they wear a dress shirt and a nice tie. These guys are not just in from the cotton patch or the barnyard. They are dressed this way for a purpose. I would suggest that everyone who posts here to ask them why this year at Grand Lodge.
I have opened meetings for the purpose and seen brethren examined in called and stated meetings. All of the articles cited 235,436, and 439 do apply. I do not know of any law that requires any examination to be held only at a stated meeting, but I have conducted many exams during a stated...
Grand Lodge was the first time I've seen a Mason in a Tux..lol. Am I wrong here?
You might be right, unless you come to the Galveston Scottish Rite during a reunion. You will quickly see that the 18th, 30th, and 32nd degrees are all conferred in Tux.
How right you are Brother Lins, Most of the time I do not have time to go home before lodge and I think this situation probably applies to several of us who frequent these boards.
I will say that usually when there is something special going on at my home lodge, then most of the brethren show...
I sure agree with that statement. I like the idea that a large number of guys found out about us, and now are curious enough to seek admission. If the investigation commities do their job, then we will only be admitting the ones who truly want to become masons for the right reasons.
When the first code books hit the C&C, the rule was that they not be allowed in the lodges. It was only a short time, and there they were. I have had many companions tell me that they feel the books were the death of the organizations.
I agree with you on the hurry up and the are we there yet...
