Be frank with him, if you believe it shall not affect your working relationship. Let him know Masonry is about improvement. He wants something from you, and you should have no problem asking for something in return. Tell him he is likable, and that he has a general and genuine negative...

I'd go one step further and say that "Freemasonry exists as a Fraternity for some, a Sorority for some, and a co-ed for the rest." The one you joined is a Fraternity.

You must first understand the difference between the words "Regular" and "Recognition/Recognized." You shall not be understood by those who have not a clue about the differences and you shall not be agreed with by those who have different opinions. That being said... The simplest response...

Do you feel that watered down catechisms are hurting the fraternity? Only if it no longer matters that Masons have internalized road maps to follow.

The legislation repealing R&D #3 and allowing the lodges to vote on re-instatement of affected Brothers did pass. No, I do not have a link. I have my Brothers' Word who witnessed it. F&S, Coach N

Brother, I recommend looking into: Building Boaz - Uncommon Catechism for Uncommon Masonic Education - Volume 2 (For EA Education) Yes, I am the author. F&S, Coach N

Brothers, If you want to transform for the Better your understanding and experience of Freemasonry, its Rituals and Lectures, this is a Workshop that you'll want to attend. In it I cover the differences between Freemason and Masonic Education, the actual Work that Ritual and Lectures points...

"The Books of The Book" by Clarence H. Cohen, PGM of Georgia GL is only $5 and can be found at Grand Lodge Books It is a concise review of the Bible, book by book, while pointing out the Masonic relevance.

You are employing a dualistic view once more. With a small effort to examine the evidence you would come to find that the person responsible for posting those thoughts is no longer part of this forum. Using logic, what does that suggest to you as to the wrongness of such a post and how such...

Is he wrong or is what he is involved in viewed as wrong because of what you personally value and believe is right for you? The former condemns him; the later judges his involvement as wrong. I whole heartedly agree. Honoring and respecting differences while not participating or changing...

Bryan, Once again, the study of the Trivium would assist here. Your original statement was that the Pope was irrelevant. This is a false statement. To justify your statement, you changed your argument to include his relevance to your church. This change does not negate the disrespect you showed...

Bryan, It is through the study of the Trivium that we become trained to see flawed Logic. Using Logic properly, premises, supporting arguments and conclusions should never be offered up if subjective, opinionated and unsupported by reality. Such training also allows us to identify dualistic...

Brother Blake, I LOVE your post. I understand what you mean on multiple levels and say "KUDOS" for writing what I would have written, with one exception. I shall throw out an offer for you to reconsider the wording of your first paragraph. Recently I was asked to express the differences...

I was born and raised a Roman Catholic. I would say that the Pope is not irrelevant, especially to those faithful peoples who use his guidance in their churches, even if he never lead your church. Would you want to have others use the same language that you use herein to describe your...

Oh, it can be answered, but not knowledgeably by a profane, and sadly, some Freemasons. I agree. But of course, you and I are Freemasons, so we are OBVIOUSLY "under the influence". :2: Yup! I think you can rearrange the letters in "cola" to render "coal" which as we all know is emblematic of...

Thanks. Generalizing about Faith can cause a lot of misunderstanding.

A man who has not done the Work that Masonry points toward (EA - Heart, FC -Head) does not have the capacity to comprehend what Freemasonry points men toward. Trying to explain FM to such a person is like trying to explain the use of imaginary numbers to someone who is still struggling with...

Brother Bryan, This assumes that SB is an entity. There are other ways of understanding SB. SB also denotes and includes "Ultimate Manner", of which all the Work of FM points us toward without exception. BTW - I have a Wiccan Brother who was Duly Raised in a Recognized Lodge in TN. FM...

Almost as interesting as the non-responses.
