    It would be difficult to stay within due regard of the law on that... just sayin'.

    Konichiwa

    I'll make a point of it next time I'm back in NM. My mother is moving to Burque in a couple months, so I will have a better opportunity to visit the lodges there.

    Konichiwa

    I never made it over there, unfortunately. Attended numerous events at Temple and Sandia's lodges, and in the GL building.

    The Chamber Of Reflection

    The time I've been referring to would be prior to the reading, prior even to the WM being informed that there's a candidate in waiting.

    Grand Virtual lodges one day

    Candidates may also be Initiated, as per the by-laws, and in accordance with the provisions of Rules 157 to 166, Book of Constitutions.

    The Chamber Of Reflection

    None taken. I've just never seen it, that's all. In NM, the Tiler is the only one still outside, and is available if the candidate has questions. But I think that by the time the night is set everything should have been answered already. Each lodge to their own. I, personally, value having had...

    The Chamber Of Reflection

    You answered your own question... reflect on the lesson he is about to receive. You say "bond with the candidate." Who's doing that? In my lodge, everyone is in opening the lodge, and there's no one hanging out with the candidate.

    Grand Virtual lodges one day

    The same way any lodge does. As I have mentioned previously, it is a brick-and-mortar lodge that meets quarterly. The name is "Internet," but the meetings aren't held there.

    The Chamber Of Reflection

    All of my US lodges use one. Whether appointed with the "questionable" accoutrements or not, I believe candidates need a quiet space to reflect, alone, before their Initiation.

    Freemasonry in Sweden

    The GL of Sweden is recognized by the majority of US Grand Lodges, as well. There has been a lot of discussion about their requirement, and opinions swing to both extremes. Master Masons from other jurisdictions may visit these lodges (in the first three degrees) without any issue, regardless of...

    No mixed vouchers?

    DPK42, you forgot NM's other team, the Broncos. A lot of orange in the northern part of the state. Best of luck on your Journey. AW22 would be an amazing lodge to be a part of.

    "Most Worshipful"

    Quoted directly from the Monitor; Installation of the Grand Master: "...that I will strictly conform to the Constitution, Laws, Rules and Regulations, of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of New Mexico..."

    Freemasonry Stereotypes from non brothers

    A "Catholic name?" I'm not sure what that means. Smith, Jones, Bergoglio, Ratzinger?

    Freemasonry: Official Statement of the Church of Greece (1933)

    Rebis, the Church of Greece is not the same thing as the Orthodox Church. Also, the Brother whom you've openly attacked is a member of the Orthodox Church, and is probably qualified to make the statement he did. Let's cool our jets now and move on.
