    What do you get out of Lodge?

    Brother Blake, I'm regretfully moving in the direction that Brother Zack has already gone. It saddens me to have to say this. All that I've seen/received in Lodge is education targeted at supporting, maintaining and expanding the (Freemason) Organization and not on supporting and enriching its...

    Genesis as allegory?

    The Serpent is one of God's creations. It represents the ability to see flaws and faults, the ability to use raw knowledge, the ability to perceive the other side of things and the ability to rationalize (but not flawlessly). It does not represent Wisdom. And, as with all of God's...

    Help with Time.

    Brother, You can't apply a 3-division-per-day-rule to a day that has 1/2 of it already designated for work - that math will drive you batty. You can't apply this tool in that manner toward what you are trying to use it for, especially when it was not intended to be used in that manner. To...

He asked the man on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there. "No," the man replied, "The seat is empty." "This is incredible," said the first man. "Who in...

    What do you tell the Anti Freemason?

    My experience of Naysons and my understanding of them tells me that there exists not one Masonic Secret that could or would ever be considered "proof" of anything to Naysons, other than what they could twist it into to prove what they have already concluded.

    What do you tell the Anti Freemason?

    Naysons are collectively either a vice or superfluity or both. My experience and the experience of others tells me that there is nothing that any Mason can tell a Nayson. There is however a lot that Naysons can tell anyone whom asks. If you don't believe me, just ask one.

    Have we lost the meaning of Freemasonry?

    I voted "no" based upon the question. Do the majority of Brothers "understand" this meaning? That response to this question would have more meaning. F&S, Bro. Coach N

    When does man become Mason (Brother)

    In the strictest sense of the definition as it applies to the organization of Freemason, Brother Zack's post refects my understanding as well.
