Those are some bold claims. I don't suppose you have some evidence to back them up.

While I fondly remember the Brer Rabbit stories I do not believe they are widely read these days. Most people are likely to understand that term in reference to the racist idiom it has since become. Brother Glen is right, you may want to find another aphorism. That being said, having spent a...

If you want to know WHY there is no Freemasonry in Egypt we can certainly help with that. https://freemasonsfordummies.blogspot.com/2011/01/freemasonry-in-egypt.html?m=1

They're produced by the Masonic Service Association of North America. https://msana.com/short-talk-bulletins/

I have little doubt that this edict will likely have the opposite effect and cause many more social media posts in response. On the one hand, I am all for not airing our dirty laundry for all the world to see. But the benefit of dragging some issues into the light of day to bring attention to...

Not the jurisdictional etiquette that is being asked for here, but still relevant. I have this book and it is a handy primer. https://www.amazon.com/Masonic-Etiquette-Today-Protocol-Practice/dp/0853182973

I need a new PM jewel.

Haha I think I got it.

Uh, what?

Hijacking a thread for an unrelated question is very rude. And, has been answered many, many times on this forum, Freemasonry is Illegal in Dubai. Nobody here can help you.

Doesn't work like that. The majority of jurisdictions have residency requirements. You would have to permanently move to the place where you want to join and then live there for six months to a year or longer before starting the process with a local Lodge. And joining doesn't happen...

What do you mean based in Dubai? Are you a resident there, is it your home? Or are you there just for work? Freemasonry is still illegal in the UAE (unless something has changed very recently) and you would have to move to a country that permits it like Lebanon or Israel.

Unless Oregon publishes its own etiquette guide, I would say ask the Sec. there. Every jurisdiction has it's own flavor.

Age of Benevolence as in 18th century England where we see the rise of philanthropic organizations? (There's probably more but that's what comes to mind) Never heard of the Age of Non Benevolence. Is this something in the Masonic ritual in your jurisdiction?

Leaving off that this thread has been dormant for 7 months, how does your comment relate in any way to the original post where a new Mason is asking how his professional relationship with his boss who recommended his petition should have changed?

The good thing is, it's the Widows Sons, not the Sons of Anarchy. Bow out and find a better fit for you.

Different chapters of WS have different flavors. Most are just friendly riding associations. I think some are wannabee 1%ers.

I was thinking the same thing. A non Mason replying to someone rejected from petitioning for their criminal record to encourage them to be an entrepreneur? Just odd.

Was there anything specific you came here to discuss?
