I am a new master mason also. I am in the process of learning the long form proficiencies from our states jurisdiction before the revisions came out in 2008.
I also plan on trying to make the DLIs and GLIs to get the rituals down. Find a Past Master who likes to talk about the craft. Attach...
I am newly raised and I've been thinking that the younger brothers should step up and engage the older Masons.
Too many times have I been to events and you can look across the room as if it were the color spectrum... younger on the left flowing to oldest on the right. Sure we say hi and bye but...
Re: Do you use Masonic influence on your own websi
Companies that sell masonic regalia are in the business of selling to brothers. I would go so far as to make sure the company I am buying from is owned by a brother if I'm going to be purchasing something that I'm going to display or use as a...

I replied in another thread and it got me thinking about my first encounter with another Mason outside of Lodge.
It was at a local gun Club that I frequent. We BS' d about everything but Masonry except what Lodge I belonged to and what Lodge he belonged to. As he was about to leave for the...
Im on the fence about this kind of topic.
There are some that are fun to razz your lodgemates with but I wouldn't use them on the outside.
I simply ask, are you a mason/brother?.
I did however have someone shout out, "hey H...!" at a local gun club the other day. I have a S/C key chain...
Not to split hairs but lets say for arguments sake my religion says there are 5 supreme beings.
The wording of that question is amigiuos enough to say yes without lying.
The question has to be worded as such to specify one god only IMHO.
"Do you believe in the existence of *only* one...
On a lighter note:
