    Should Eastern Stars be allowed to wear Masonic items?

    Brothers, Recently there has been a lot of discussion or buzz about OES members vs Masonic items. Do you believe the members of the Eastern Star should be allowed to wear Masonic pics or t-shirts? For instance the OES Worthy Grand Patron currently sells ties with both logos on it to men...
