I agree. We really need to be as honest as possible and nor paint only a rosy picture. Sometimes, we desire to increase our membership, but we can no longer afford to get the wrong people in. We really need to do what's best for the Craft. We we need to be tough. I would rather have committed...

I myself am a member of appendant bodies, but make Blue Lodge my priority even though I attend most of the meetings in the other bodies. Personally, I think these bodies take away from the Blue Lodges in attendance, work and finances. I would just like to complete the Royal Arch degree to make...

I have to agree. It starts here and should end here. No point to add numbers to our fraternity, unless they are committed. Please Obsever the Craft.

I am in Lodges where we use bulbs and Lodges where we use candles. For me, candles are the way to go.

I have attended one and must say I have found it refreshing. I am more inclined to include a TO Lodge to the Lodges that I belong to. I enjoyed everything about it and will be considering joining in the near future. Perhaps more people should attend and get a feel for the difference. Might find...

This is horrible. Tell me this is not in the U.S. If so, what State of the Union. That's not where I want to live. Glad I carry.

Listening to the minutes and Grand Lodge communications may not be exciting, but it is important aspect of the stated meeting, it is business. If you rely on the Brothers to read a bulletin board that the minutes on posted on, good luck. In our Lodge the minutes and GL communications are always...

If you are looking to be in the progressive line then I think the Junior Steward is a good start. Also, this position give you up an up close look of the floor work which is a bonus (in my opinion). So, if you choose JS, then remember to earn the Marshal and Senior Steward positions. This should...

I have no time to think about them. I am looking for our 28th World Championship. Don't hate me Brothers!

I will be following this post. The dress code is to be a problem today. You hear "it's the internal not the external." How does somebody deal with that and not lose a Brother? I understand coming to the Lodge after work from the ranch, and I would rather have someone attend when there is no time...

A Brother is a Brother, regardless.

Thanks Blake. You have done a wonderful thing on the Good Friday. This clip is very powerful and inspiring. I started my day with the light shining on me.

No Brother, not bragging. Just trying to help out.:26:

Yes, the same goes for me. My wife is quite younger and never been a problem.

Yes, women might, but being a member of the OES, I might tell you that I don't think it would be any different based on what I see. Young men in this Fraternity will make it better.

Before a petitioner(whether he knocked on the door or was invited in) becomes an EA it is our responsibility to ensure we did the most we could during the investigation process. If, there is a spouse/girlfriend was she present during the investigation, was the petitioner informed of the time...

It is important for all Masons to know the basic symbols. I have seen where there are members who can't recognize the symbols on the Officers' Aprons and/or jewels to place on the Officers' chairs.:43:

That can be difficult to answer as in the past the men did not mention this to folks. many might never know. I know I don't but answered first to join.

NO! I would demit.

Where I am at in Arizona as JW I needed to be able to confer either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree to be JW. As JW I will need to confer another degree to advance to SW. When I move to the SW station I will need to confer the next degree completing all 3 degrees and all done before the DDGM to...
