Prayers for the family

As stated above, it would be up to local jurisdiction when you may wear it. As for the second part of your question, I think that for the most part, it is up to you and your taste of jewelry. Myself, I have a stainless steel everyday ring that I wear to work. Cost me around $100.00 U.S. so it is...

Prayers sent from our house

I am a Scottish Rite Mason. I am also JW of my lodge. I am not active in SR and wont be until after I am a past master but I will keep up my dues.

I have plans to attend. However, since I just started my own business, my time has been very limited so we will have to see if I can make it.

I was actually chastised by a DDGM for meeting with a token without being in position.

I have a stainless ring I wear most all of the time except when I am going to a "dress up affair". Then I have a dressier gold ring that my wife gave me when I was raised that I wear. It is too nice and way too expensive to wear every day in Dallas (for obvious reasons)

Masonry refers to scripture in several places and is based on a belief of a supreme being. However, to actually gain a better understanding, you need to be in the word. I would recommend getting a study bible to use. That has helped me understand the bible more than Masonry has.

I am in a small lodge and really prefer it that way. I have visited some larger lodges and find that they are not as friendly. In fact, one lodge there were about 60 members present and some didn't know all of their names. Now I am bad with names but I know all of the brothers that have been...

I agree with Brother Jones on this. 1) who is to sat that they would make a good Mason? Gut feelings usually are correct. 2) What if they dont stick around to help the lodge 3) and I feel this is the most important, what if they do stick around and join other lodges to spread their agenda/poison...

A word of caution on sizing. My wife sells leather jackets, vests, etc. of all brands. This does look like a good deal but be advised that leather "bomber" jackets normally run 1 to 2 sizes smaller. All of my textile jackets are 2XL but all of my leather jackets ad vests, no matter the brand...

I found out yesterday that mi division will be shut down Dec. 1st and I will be out of a job. Considering going into business on my own. Please pray I make the right decisions and have employment when this is over.

I agree. A similar issue started with my mother several years ago and she would battle moth cancer for 10+ years. Have it checked by an ENT immediately.

Although I understand some circumstances such as health that do not allow someone to stand to greet someone. A couple of years ago I had knee surgery and couldn't stand. But even, when approached, I would say something to the nature of "forgive me for not standing but my health won't allow it"...

I was at the Family Day this weekend and saw that the Grand Master was making stops at various booths. I had an EA working our booth with me when he stopped to greet us. I rose and explained to the new EA he should rise as well. We both shook his hand and exchanged pleasantries and then he...

I was manning one of our booths there. Met several new mason brothers and had a great time.

I follow the obligation.

I agree. We have 2 African Americans members but only 1 is active. He is currently our Senior Steward but also leads our committee on work. We also have several Hispanic members as well. We would welcome any man as long as he is of good moral character.
