Congratulations on your continued journey my fellow Companion. A great deal of Light is dispensed in these degrees and it takes a while to absorb. BTW, in the Commandery it is Orders, not Degrees. Takes a little getting used to.

At our YR meeting we have the Coin Check. The penny you got in the 4th you have to have with you at the respective meeting or it is a $1 fine (money collected for improvements). Had mine since 1980 and it's been around the world.

I agree with your sentiment which why my proposal would not have a mandatory wear date. While it would affect the cap & mantle, the traditional uniform would go as the Knight is called to Final Assembly.

I joined in 1980 and coat was going thru a change then. I want to change to a very inexpensive uniform instep with our ancient knights.

What makes Masonry special are is what it is and those members who dedicate so much to it and its propagation. While I too love our uniform, I believe a less costly uniform is needed, and needed now for the salvation of the Order. In my page here on uniforms I talk about the matter

Congratulations Companion, I'm sure that you will find it both impressive and rewarding.

That worked, thank you.

YR for several reasons: 1. Franklin Chap. # 8 RAM, sponsored the Alton DeMolay Chap and as a kid I was headed down the wrong path and it got me straightened out. 2. The ceremonies are to my liking, both what they inculcate and I enjoy doing them. 3. The RA really completes the journey began in...

The York Rite gets overlooked by a good many Brethren for any number of reasons. The Royal Arch is extremely important to the fulfillment of the Craft, and the Royal & Select Masters gives understanding to it's accomplishment. The Commandery gives a military aire, thought Christian in nature...

I'm only on a computer, I don't own a cell phone. what I'd like is for the list of stuff to show up like I see others, like yourself.

right back at ya. I'd have my info listed like you do if I could figure out how.

To my knowledge Devil Dog it's just a preference.

The select of the Shakers and the proliferation of the Mormons w/o the perverse of either.

The "No left-hand Masons" refers to work, and work. It is a training aid intended to help the student learn his work, not as an insult to south paws or rules for the wearing of jewelry. In the York Rite, we do a number of things performed with the LH.

There are so many, but among the ones I've heard the most over the past 34 1/2 years: "I see you're a traveling man?" "Been to the East?" "What Lodge you belong to (or hail from)?" and the most colorful- "So, where were you hit in the head?"

I have a number of tattoos from around the world and want to get Lodge, Chapter, Council & Commandery up my inner left arm.

I began a little bit of Masonic education at our Lodge meetings some years back, got the idea from a fellow Knight that had gone into some detail on a matter at a Commandery meeting. Another Brother with a bit more time and greater access to things gives an excellent class every month.

I think you and I understand the reason for this thread, my hatred just gets the upper hand.

My Brother, your beliefs are your business and I will defend them; however, the token apology by a former pope is not good enough. I carry emotional, mental and sexual scars, and the only thing that stops me from killing the priests and nuns that I encounter is that, like Hanoi jane, taking out...

It that like the priest admitting molesting but not having to pay for his crimes?
