Like the first "expose" happening within a few years of the first GL, varying versions, additions, permutations, etc, followed quickly. A number of rites listed there are still practiced and recognized, some in the US, some in other jurisdictions. One other thing to keep in mind, UGLE alone has...

Seems I need to buy someone Brother Hammer's book this Christmas... Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Check the other GL's website first; some have genealogy assistance links. If there isn't anything on the site, I'd (personally) go up the chain through the Sec/GrandSec. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Once again, I have no idea what you're on about. "Satan" is pretty specific to certain religions, and the "fight against him" is specific to them as well. Freemasonry is not a religion, and you really need to comprehend that if you truly want to join. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

One step at a time, Tomas. PHTX doesn't allow plural at all (presently).

I feel it is personal choice, though I definitely think some Brothers go over-the-top. I don't wear "a lot" of advertising, but that's my choice. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Huzzah!!

I attended an Easter service one year in a black suit with my Malta medal. I was unsure of what anyone would say about the lack of a uniform. The Grand Commander tapped my medal and told me not to worry, as I was wearing the only required piece of regalia. I'll keep my opinion if the Civil War...

Freemasonry is not a business. If you want to join a lodge, find one nearby. If you're starting a business, good luck! Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

As is being discussed in another thread, the GLNF and UGLE are once again in amity. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Hopefully the derby girls didn't burn anything down this weekend.

NYLight is correct, the GLNF has been returned to amity with UGLE. For severs years I've had this working daydream of a little inn with a simple lodgeroom upstairs. Depending on the furnishings, it could even serve as a museum by day. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

They met in rooms above the tavern, not actually in it. It would be the same as a private dining room in a restaurant today. Many lodges in Scotland have a full-service bar in their buildings. The US still suffers from dry counties and failed Prohibition mentality. Sent from my iPhone using My...

"Sir" is always acceptable, as is Brother (when in lodge). I once has a job in the Navy where, as an E-5, I had positional authority over anyone assigned to me, regardless of rank. I still called the officers Sir... Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

If the President can be on the Level in lodge, so can all ranks of military. Outside the lodge? You had better remember your etiquette. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

Anyone who would "challenge" a Master Mason over a lapel pin, in his own lodge, needs to review their obligations. You earned the pin, wear it. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry
