Thanks for the congrats, my brother. I do hope that you did not think I made the fluff statement. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a Mason first and foremost, however I am very busy in Scottish Rite, York Rite, Eastern Star and now to whatever time is left to the Shrine. I for one believe...

I applaude your thinking, I would suggest being a bit cautious on this one as there are many brothers who may not be as willing to forgive as some are. I feel, we still have some in our midst who would not welcome this man with open arms. I am concerned that we might actually do your friend an...

I am planning on purchasing the book and reading it soon, In the meantime I look forward to what you fellas have to say about it.

I was just iniated into the Shrine last Tuesday night. For many years , I have considered doing so. I have been so busy in all of the other branches of masonry, that I just never took the time. When it was announced a few months ago, that the Galveston Burn Center was to be re-opened, I decided...

A good question Brother Blake. I am in agreement that men can change their lives, and become good ,contributing members to thier communities and society as a whole. I also agree with the answer given by the GS, under no circumstances would I ever knowingly allow a convicted child molester into...

Welcome to the boards my brother.

A great big " THANK YOU" to the entire internet committe, for working so dilligently on this project and making it happen (hopefully) before Grand Lodge , this year.

And a good one it is.

Well said Brother... Sometimes it is difficult to determine which tool best fits the situation. I also agree that the "pull the charter crowd" are usually only thinking with a hammer.

I was and still am a big proponent of opening at the lowest degree possible but the question was what complaints have I heard about it. I was an EA when this got voted in and I was happy as could be at the time. Finally I wasnt just a food server/dish washer! Well said Brother. I have...

What a great way to be seen in the community ! Super idea..My congratulations to your WM.

Welcome to the best boards in the State... We look forward to your participation and input.

I rather think that we need to be making Master Masons, that is after all the one large ticket item, that we need for survival. Perhaps, it is time to modify the buggy whips a bit, and adapt them to something that can be used in our era.

Thank you my brother. I also feel that it is the responsibility of the Master to see that his meetings are conducted properly, and that the membership, will have an enjoyable time. Most lodges that I am aware of, who have programs, and guest speakers at stated meetings, seem to be doing well...

Sounds a bit lame. It is certain, that no matter what the majority wants, there is always going to be a character or two that just doesn't like it !

Howdy from Texas brother, and welcome to our happy forum. The guys here have some great discussions about Masonry and welcome your input. The administrative staff do a good job of keeping everything on an even keel, and the members keep it pretty lively. How are things ( Masonicly speaking) in...

Well said my brother, DITTO !

No sir, I was getting ready to head to Gilmer for the Labor Day Holiday.

I say amen to that Brother. I do agree that we are supposed to be builders, and I do not know of many who just don't want to be Masons anymore.

Good for both of you and for the order. The Star is a nice addition to the Blue Lodge, and it does give a couple a presence in Masonry that just isnt atainable by making dinners at Stated Meeting, and on Family Night. The ritual of the Star is beautiful in its own rite and well worth the...
