If you want an honest no nonsense read on the basics that leaves out all the myths and sensationalism then I can't recommend Brother Hodapp's book enough...

You're absolutely correct Brother, I wasn't at your Commandery meeting to hear what was said. I was responding more to the letter from the MW Bro. Dymchuk that Brother Keith posted, which is what I thought your Commandery was discussing, that calls for assistance in the form of asylum of...

Wonderful work, Brother!

We need a new program that operates like Lubavitch Chabad missionaries where a handful of Masons move to an area where there is no regular Freemasonry and they set up a Lodge. :)

This is absolutely not politics and I believe would be appropriate to read and discuss in open Lodge. This is a call for assistance from distressed Masons of a Regular jurisdiction whose country has been invaded by a neighboring power. Exactly how has this crossed the line? Good on any Lodge...

Good read. Thanks for the info Brother. Now to see what happens next. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Good to know about the other Regular Recognized lodges. I don't know enough of the GLofL itself. But aren't there some other clandy groups there as well? I seem to remember someone mentioning them. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

If you want to recommend Freemasonry in Lebanon: The Grand Lodge of Scotland operates the District Grand Lodge of Lebanon with several Lodges chartered https://dgll.org/ The Grand Lodge of New York operates the District Grand Lodge of Syria-Lebanon also with several Lodges chartered...

Here you go and good luck with your journey! Let us know how it goes. https://dglea.com/

Just curious how you saw politics and religion in this thread. How does your jurisdiction draw the line on what constitutes these topics to avoid in open Lodge.

Saw this on Rocky Mountain Mason this morning and had to laugh. Having been one of these poor underappreciated Brothers!

Welcome from a Wisconsin ex-pat living in Florida!

Many of us in this group, myself included, have Masonic tattoos. But my advice here, I'm not sure using Masonic symbols as "filler" for a tattoo is the way to go. If you're going to indelibly inscribe them onto your temple, wouldn't you rather that each emblem have a specific meaning or reason...

Since Shawn necroed this thread I'll chime in. I quit the Reddit r/Freemasonry because of the rampant hypocrisy. In the same discussion talking to potential members the posters, supposedly Freemasons, will also have profanity laced discussions comparing genitalia or other such nonsense. I made...

Outstanding! Glad to hear that. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

So that's set at the national level. Be a shame to preclude a potential relative because of wording. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Just got mine. Haven't had a chance to peruse it yet. Hopefully this weekend. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Surely the OES membership requirements are spelled put in the Code for your GL. What does it say? If not there then they have to be stipulated somewhere. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I see what you mean now. We have the same situation in my GL with the Wisconsin Masonic Center in Madison Wisconsin managed by a foundation now. But when they needed money to shore it up they just added a tax on everyone's dues for a few years. I'm still annoyed that vote passed. lol

In the US Grand Lodges I am familiar if a group is formed and it is required for the membership to be Masons then the GL has jurisdiction over that group. Belonging to a group of Masons that have legal duties that conflict with the GL would never fly here. Though that does imply some type of...
