    Incense in the lodge

    I never saw (smelled) insence used in lodge in my country (Netherlands). I would personally not like that, since as an asthmatic, it interferes with my ability to breathe.

    Nederland?

    Om vrijmetselaar te kunnen worden moet men een vrij man van goede naam zijn. Bezie of je kunt beargumenteren dat je dat bent. Je openheid is wel een goede zaak. Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

    Dual/plural memberships. Should Masons be able to join multiple lodges?

    Re: Dual/plural memberships. Should Masons be able In the Netherlands we have a system called 'buitenlid' where you have a limited membership in other lodges than your own for a much reduced fee. I dont think ppl can actually fully join more than one lodge as a full member. But im not sure...
