Behind the shabby façade of the Widow's Son Prince Hall Masonic Lodge, a remarkable renaissance has occurred over the past few years, thanks to a group of boys in need. Three years ago, under the leadership of two high-energy new members, the once-faltering African-American lodge reached out...

I'm curious to see the series of movies. The current movie appears to be a remake of a 2005 Danish movie (on demand on netflix right now) which was somehow inspired by "My Left Foot." The director of My Left Foot made this new English version.

I meant to post this when I first saw this thread - this is an excerpt fro a book about a rather large literary and religious corpus from the ancient traditions of Nigeria. How ancient oral traditions persist. from - Ifá: An Expositionof Ifá Literary Corupus, by Wande Abimbola Perhaps...

I will likely petition the Shriners in the new year, so I don't know the inner workings. But this rings true. If they were bailed out it would come along with institutional changes to how finances are managed or accounted for or invested. But they aren't the only ones to lose their shirts...

I think I got the recommendation of JP Luther here and followed through. Even after I screwed up my order, the service was great correcting it and delivering on service.

I don't know if anyone has realized this yet, but Google Books offers an extreme amount of information for folks willing to read pdfs. Do a search, like on Robert Burns at Google Books then on the left column, click Public Domain. On that you can find his complete works as a downloadable...

I prefer dark backgrounds, but I use Arkus because there's less contrast. On Windows I usually go a Slate background with dark but soft background colors. Reduces the overall light, but doesn't put white on black.

I think "organized religion" has been primarily dangerous when state interests or politics become involved. Christianity didn't spread itself by the sword, governments used Christianity combined with swords to expand their kingdom.

I also visit The Sanctum Sanctorum and The Masonic Society forums. On this and related issues, there is often a lot of pontificating and avoiding even insinuating there is a problem anywhere. A lot of it revolves around not addressing other jurisdictions or GLs as a whole as a matter of rule...

I think it would be exerting/imposing those beliefs as opposed to "protecting" them - although I do believe "fundamentalists" try to exert and impose their beliefs and see themselves under attack when people object.

Barack Obama is not a freemason

I have a closed view of this, perhaps. Name the religions before the year 1000 on record or in myth fighting purely on religious grounds - to prove their religion was absolute or right. I can think of just a few out of a very large number. I'm not for blaming religion, because atheism in...
