What is the importance of this question in the first place?
Sacred Volumes of Law are furniture of the lodge to symbolize His ability to reveal himself to us and our ability as well to perceive Him and His ways, which separates us from the beast of the field and the vultures of the air. But...
Okay a hypothetical question, if'n this resolution does not pass could a lodge pick this language up you used Brother Bill and amend it into their by-laws. This thought has crossed my mind a time or two to add by-laws on this issue so a lodge can have some recourse and ultimately the GL as well...
I have seen the Book of Shadows used for a Wiccan mason. I also had the pleasure of visiting with a GL officer of Pakistan who visited 148 and told me the Holy Qu'ran is the book that is always on their alter but the Holy Bible can be placed there if needed. Makes me feel Masonry felt a duty...
Quick question Brother Bill. When a resolution is submitted to GL and referred to com. is it traditional you do not find out how the com. feels till GL when they announce it to everyone or do you get a heads up before hand?
definitely not over reacting this is a crucial art all men should be proficient. :) I do commend you for not embarrassing you Brother-in-law, I once opened my big mouth to teach a man some tricks to Q-ing and he was not happy I thought he needed teaching. lol Learned a very valuable lesson...

Problem with the internal thing is that it is part of the ritual and not the obligation therefore not a Masonic offense otherwise I personally would have filed charges. I as many from my lodge asked this very question but it is much easier to change the law than to change the obligation so it...
At GL last year it was stated the code book has 13 mistakes which we where also told was minor. So they recommended not printing a new one and just let us continue using the current book since the errors are so minor. I could not have learned the lectures without my code book and I am almost...
No matter where you are born or how you are raised you bodily makeup is made from the same stuff as mine and I believe the same God who loves us all no matter what we call Him is nothing less than universal.
Below are the basic elements in the make up of the Human body.
We do talk of GAOTU as being the creator and of divine intelligence who will lend his hand the moment he is asked but I am not sure where the personal plan part comes in? I completely agree with the general plan being stated all in our ritual but not sure what part of the ritual refers to God...
