Amigo; each sect of Christianity (all 3,000+ of them), each sect of EVERY religion, believes they have "the truest understanding of faith," which is why their followers join. It is also why there isn't one universal religion. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Ask for a petition as soon as you feel you are ready. And stop worrying about your FIL, it's pretty common to have friends and relatives in the lodge you decide to join

Google "celestial globe," they're out there. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Then why do you want to join? Your posts swing back and forth, but generally you seem to be anti-masonic. I can't tell if you're trolling for an argument, or honestly confused.

Chris Hodapp is speaking. NewsBot has some limitations...

No, but they are still bound by GLTX law.

First, a member of the MWPHGLTX is forbidden plural membership, so they can't join 9659. Second is the fore-mentioned jurisdictional issue. All three of my GLs recognize PHTX, but if I tried to visit one of their lodges, I would still risk backlash and possible trial.

Here's a tidbit the newsbot seems to have missed: "Continuing a tradition that originated in the 1730s, members of the Grand Lodge of Masons of California, the Prince Hall Masonic Lodge, and the Sacramento and Gold Country Masonic Lodges will enact a ceremony to lay the symbolic first stone of...

Why can't one of these bored little trolls hack something useful instead of regurgitating a bunch of CT nonsense based on a novel? I hope our Brethren in Taiwan are able to fix this quickly.

That's what I thought. You would not be able to petition "online," as you must be physically present to receive the Degrees, and will have to petition a specific lodge. You can't just petition UGLE to become a Mason.

Amigo; are you a Freemason now? I've never been completely clear on that point...

You will have to verify this in Virginia, but it is my understanding that no PHA GLs allow multiple membership.

It has been deathly quiet there lately, perhaps the admins are busy conspiring... Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

No, not exactly sure who has it now (hard to keep track from Cali). And you would need at least five other Brothers from your Oregon lodge to claim it. I'll see if I can figure out where either if them are. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Not in uniform. (Though I am a fan of those fobs.)

MBC; There are a hundred jurisdictions in the US. Generally, you need to live within a specific geographic range of the lodge you wish to receive your Degrees in. If a man lives in Dallas, TX (for example) it would be difficult, if not impossible, to receive the Three Degrees in Washington, DC.

Unless you live in NoVa or the DC metro area, joining A-W 22 will be difficult. I would advise introducing yourself to local lodges (state or PH), getting to know the Brethren, and making an informed decision. When a man shows interest in our lodge, the WM will take him to dinner at the other...

My bad, it was the Monitor I was thinking of. As for M&D, I found one the other day for $15 at a used bookstore. It's a 1921 printing. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Breathe, we've all been there.
