    Dues - a Perspective

    My lodge yearly dues are a bit above 300 euro. Close to 400 us dollars. That doesnt include coffee and drinks. In my country, thats an average amount as far as i know. For me, its a lot of money, but very much worth it. A sportsclub would cost a similar amount, lessons at the music school double...

    The importance of the Master

    That is a hard predicament youre in. I wish you and your brethren wisdom and a good solution. Do you want to leave your lodge? Is that actually the solution? Can grandlodges help here? I dont know the solution, but your story is a good reminder to be watchful in my own lodge. Im blessed with how...

    Calendars?

    In the Netherlands, lodges have a calendar called 'Arbeidstafel' where the lodge meetings are listed. Many lodges actually post these on their websites. This is very useful for deciding when to visit where. Is this a custom internationally? And what would such a calendar be called in your...

    Dutch freemason here

    I guess i never posted an introduction. Instead, i jumped right in. I am a freemason from the Netherlands, initiated 2011, raised 2013. I hope (and did already) to learn a lot, meet interesting brethren, and help out where i can with my (limited) knowledge and experience. Brotherly greetings...

    Being tested and raised

    Remember that freezing is something you do, not something that happens to you. Figure out what helps you unfreeze and use it (like a calm breathing excercise) Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

    An old man in his dotage

    Some of my brethren are well into their 80s and still active in lodge. I have a lot to learn from all of them. Tonight i listened to the talk of a 32yo brother and learned a lot too. Its really not about age at all Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

    An old man in his dotage

    To get back to that return on investment, good men make freemasonry better. If you let in the good men, it will be better. It really isnt about roi. I dont thing this should be a theme when deciding to let someone join or not. Part of that argument also has to do with the strange idea some ppl...

    An old man in his dotage

    We recently initiated a candidate already 70yo. I think there should not be any discrimination based on age. Its not about a return on investment Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

    An old man in his dotage

    In our lodge we initiated a candidate who is a refugee from another country. He does speak our language, but limited. We know that limits some of the things he can do in lodge. However, he has life experience we can all learn from and be inspired by, and we know we can offer him a place in a...
