Congrats brother.

My own opinion here is that they should wait for a period that only they can determain. This will allow the new MM to learn as much as he can about the inner workings of the lodge. There is so much more memory work than just the degrees to learn.

There is a difference in studying and getting information to make an informed decision. AS for study after the degrees, we have a study night every week except the weeks of stated meeting (and sometimes even then). Those that need to study the work break up into small groups around the lodge...

I do not have issues with this as you are apparantly a MM already. Where I have a problem is with a candidate to "be studying" before his initiation. As someone stated before, we have had a couple come through that said they were ready to turn in their work a week after initiation and no mentor...

I have seen this written several times by people waiting to be initiated. My question is what have they been studying? I have always been taught the traditional "mouth to ear" as it is supposed to be done. It concerns me that there appears to be written material that some have obtained and...

As much as I would like to leave it in my car, I have to keep it with me as I have men that work at night that may have issues on jobs as well as a father that is not in good health. I just silence it

Congradulations on your journey and the quest to be in charge of the funeral committee. We have a brother in our lodge that is a funeral director. He has been put in charge of our funeral committee.

Continued prayers from here.

Just be yourself in the interview. Once initiated, you will become a brother in a fraternaty that is as strong if not stronger that the ties you made in the military.

This is what our lodge does as well.

I am a little late to the party here and glad that the two of you have worked it out. Now to my answer of the original question, I have always paid on a date. Didn't matter if her child went or not, I would pay. I guess thats just the southern raising that was instilled into me from my parents...

Sell the current building, take the money from the sale plus the 3m in the fund now and buy or build another, more modern building. The GLoT is like a figure head, often seen but seldom used. It's not like the MWGM and his officers are there daily, they are too busy traveling the state. In fact...

Prayers sent from here as well.

Congrats brother. I am now JW elect of our lodge.

I loved it. I hope you dont mind but would like to borrow it.

I don't know where you will find one that is running in the price range you are looking at. $3k-$5k maybe.

Currently SD but am now the JW elect.

Enjoy your path. I was raised 4 years ago and was elected to JW tuesday night. I have been Marshall, JD and SD in my journey.
