    A Real Freemason

    Freemasons are not zealots. If we have not noticed from our teachings – we are actually peace makers. We learn, based on constant work, to see ourselves in others. We learn about the Human Condition. We learn that every man is always progressing - if allowed the opportunity. Real Freemasons...

    Scottish Rite Tough Mudder Team

    Update: Everyone on the team completed the course with no major injuries. The weather started out at 33* and got worse. We went from 6,300' up to 8,600*. Between the temps, water, and wind it was brutal. However, it was a great experience for all the team members. If interested, you can see...

    Scottish Rite Tough Mudder Team

    I am more than pleased to announce that we have an “Official†Scottish Rite Team that will be participating in the Tough Mudder event in South Lake Tahoe this fall (September, 28, 2013). There were a few other Brothers that were asked to participate in the event, but due to other life...

    Happy Holidays Masons of Texas!

    Happy Holidays to everyone! We all come from different backgrounds, varying worldviews, and current stations in life; however, no matter whether we are a part of a formal religion/tradition or were just born into celebrating this time of year, it is a great time of year to realize how much we...

    The Unknown Mason (Facts Count)

    I saw a comment in another thread that caused me to think about this article. This is an article that was first published in the Montana Freemason magazine, March 2012 (copyrighted by the Grand Lodge MT and author). Does this raise any thoughts relative to why facts count? From Whence Came...

    History of Freemasonry

    That is a great question, Brother. I just called the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Montana and received permission to post this article which first appeared in the Montana Freemason Magazine, March 2012, copyright GL Montana and author. This might provide some additional food for...

    Freemasonry & Quality: A nation without walls

    Quality is a term that should be indistinguishable from every Mason. Just as two twins can be indistinguishable one from the other so should Masonry and Quality. When we think of a Mason we should simultaneously be thinking ‘Quality.’ Quality is “a distinguishing characteristic...

    Hysteria In Freemasonry

    The Builder Magazine May 1930 - Volume XVI - Number 5 THE OBJECTS OF MASONRY HAS Freemasonry any specific objects? According to some people it has - very definite ones. Among them we may note the destruction of all religion and overturning of every government, the establishment of a state of...

    Hysteria In Freemasonry

    I assume that on this forum one can have an opinion that may not mirror the Administrators, I hope that is the case. Unfortunately there appears to be a few self-proclaimed Transitional Leaders for Freemasonry going around the internet and announcing to everyone their anointing and what they...

    Is Masonry a religion?

    Brother Peter, As usual in life <s> there is much more behind the quotes I earlier provided, however I will offer this as a bit more clarification according to Albert Pike "Masonry is not a religion. He who makes of it a religious belief, falsifies and denaturalizes it. The Brahmin, the Jew...

    WV GL withdraws recognition of OH GL

    One might first wish to consider taking the log out of thier own eye, so that they might see clearly when attempting to take out the speck that is in their brother’s eye. Hate and anger are color blind and they certainly don't do anything for someone's reasoning abilities. I forgive you for...

    Freemasonry Is Not A Private Society

    First of all these are not public corporations in the sense many might think, in some cases they are incorporated but they do not have to follow the rules of publically traded companies. In addition, in those states where their tax status requires a Board of Directors the GM can still make the...

    WV GL withdraws recognition of OH GL

    I would think it is like any other system that has rules and laws.

    Compact Signing

    Nor does it require you to attend lodge. I am aware of a couple of PHA Brothers that are looking at switching to a Mainstream GL, in part due to this exact restriction.

    WV GL withdraws recognition of OH GL

    Bro Squire, I would suggest that if one thinks about it the recognition card is the only way GLs have to maintain some sort of order. In this case there might be many that side with OH but in another case the same people might not agree with that decision. There arguably have to be some sort...

    "Unjustly Accused," The Derek Gordon Story

    Well...as I said, my point wasn't directed at anyone or this situation in particular:-) I haven't followed this situation and have not read what has been posted here relative to opinions. For the most part, I didn't need to read the situation because I have heard the same rhetoric for a number...

    "Unjustly Accused," The Derek Gordon Story

    Well...I was not addressing anyone here in particular, and in turn I am not sure if you are addressing my comments:-) However, I will say that in many Regular Jurisdictions one does not necessarily have to be charged, nor have a hearing, to be expelled (e.g. moral turpitude, breaking any one of...

    "Unjustly Accused," The Derek Gordon Story

    With all due respect, the right of freedom of speech and freedom of expression are rights that can be limited, they are not absolutes. They can be limited by government in cases such as hate speech. In addition, they can be limited by our own choice through such other rights we might exercise...
