    Freemason Member Photos

    My impression is that the moment Lodge and member photos became widely distributed on social media, there was a giant fall off of interest.

    Brothers, I've had a thought running around my head as of late and, being this community is full of wise and learned views, I thought I'd ask for your perspective. Do you think the fraternity would be better served if Lodge photos, Officer photos, and the like were discouraged? My thinking...

    Is the end really near for freemasonry ?

    I've spent the 13 years since being raised contemplating the 3 Degrees and trying to develop a deeper understanding of them. Also, I've tried to commit as much to memory as possible so that when I'm out of lodge, in the normal course of my life, I can better reflect the moments back at the lodge...

    Yes, I'm buying the versions which include the new books - what I'm speaking to are the books which are not included in the package but are referenced. Specifically, Arturo de Hoyos’s Scottish Rite Ritual Monitor & Guide (3d ed.) & A Bridge To Light, 4th edition by Rex Hutchens

    I've scouted them on ebay and amazon and will picking them up with my next paycheck for sure. If they allow a MM to start the program before officially being a member of SR, then I will start soon with the first series.

    Greetings from Ft Huachuca, AZ

    I checked out the Master Craftsman program and am very interested! After November, I plan to start on the first course. Thank you for the recommend - I'm pretty excited for it.

    Installed as Junior Warden

    My first chair after being raised was Junior Deacon and I was filling that at the time that our JW had to step down for some personal reasons. At the time, I was studying for the GLofKY Ritualist device (a contest of memorization of various parts of ritual that was just established) - I ended up...

    Congrats! I was lucky enough to fill the JW seat for a bit and loved it.

    Is the end really near for freemasonry ?

    I read through this somewhat meandering thread and will add my two cents on the original topic. I was raised 13 years ago in a small lodge in Kentucky. After my 3rd degree I was encouraged (good advice) to travel for a while and visit many lodges around Western KY (many have since closed or...

    Greetings from Ft Huachuca, AZ

    Hello to the new greeters! I've read a little of M&D. I'm a history grad student so I can handle its obstrusity so far, but I'm in no rush to finish it any time soon. Like I said, I'm taking my time. I will check out that craftsman program. I got word today that my SR work will be in November...

    Greetings from Ft Huachuca, AZ

    I wanted to give myself time to study Blue Lodge. Everyone back in 2008 wanted me for SR and York and Shrine right away, but I wanted to actually study EA, FC, and MM for a while to "get them." It's been 13 years and I've just been re-reading my monitor over and over, trying to really appreciate...

    I was 35 series while I was in. I am now a contractor on post. I love my job, getting to train soldiers - plus the climate here is wonderful.

    Greetings from Ft Huachuca, AZ

    Hello Brothers. 13 years ago I went through my Blue Lodge degrees and became a MM but life, college, work, and army got in the way. I managed to finally find myself on the other side of it all though (expect life) so now I'm settling down with a family and going back to regular meetings and...
