Why do we need Grand Lodge to police our ritual why can we not handle this at the lodge level?

That is not a bad thing. to slow the process I mean, not you personally :)

we also already do it with the G Washington fund and Home and School fund

we charge $150 at Ft Worth 148 and $200 at Tarrant 942 per degree and they never complain as a matter of fact when asked they are usually surprised by the low cost for the fraternity. just fyi

I would like to have seen options instead of the only way is to nearly double per-capita. A PM in my Lodge had a great idea I thought of tacking on a GL degree fee of like $15 a degree. Maybe a prioritized list of committees and their bare bone budget so the Grand West could drop the ones...

Most do not want to hear anything but the numbers or at least that is what gets their attention. Getting up and advising others how to conduct their business works only when you are getting paid to carry out said directives. This organization is funny like that. I read your post and thought...

Why did Past Master let it get like this? I think Big Brother is a term that states how we feel we are being treated not a title we are placing on a body of people. If I am being big Brothered I am being forced to his will and not allowed to do things as I see fit. With Texas being such a big...

Each Lodge to its own I say. If the culture of the lodge demands good open and close they will have it. If they demand good fish fries or fellowship then that is what they get. Each lodge has a culture to itself and sometime the ritual work is not on the same priority ranking as another...

good to have you

Keeping it secret or making it public does not change what masonry is or has to offer. Times change and while it was once required to keep our art a secret those times are long gone. We need to be proud we do spiritual rituals and tell the world so they can come and get'em a pull of Masonry...

fine tat looks great

mine eyes will watch this one for sure.

1. No, we have watered it down enough besides if you are teaching the lessons of the Q & A and not strictly memory work they are fun. 2. Yes, everyones has one and uses it for aid in memorizing the words but if you are teaching or helping one to discover the lessons as the lectures say to do...
