    One Day Masonic Class/Journey

    Nice analogy. If we extrapolate it a bit, the Virtual Past Master rank doesn't extend beyond the Chapter. My Blue Lodge won't let me occupy the WM's station after virtually passing the chair.

    A Query: Are there any other Episcopalian/Anglican Masons here?

    Episcopalian. Our first Priest was, and every one since has been a Freemason.

    Cigar smoking Pennsylvania brothers

    Wooden Match in Bethlehem used to be affiliated, but I think it has changed ownership. The Leaf Cigar Bar & Famous Smoke Shoppe in Easton are my favorites in the area. I saw the add for the Cigar Social in Rajah Shrine's news publication. Should have been a great time; the Hamburg shop is very...

    Did you wear any EA or FC "bling"?

    Is it your position that Freemasonry, it's symbols, and other elements have no meaning or value beyond what is set forth by what you refer to as "Masonic Law?"

    Guidance Please on Master Craftsman Program

    I've seen free .pdf versions of Bridge to Light on the web. It should be easy to locate with a search. Ritual Monitor may be more challenging. If you haven't contacted the Supreme Council, you may want to do so and explain your circumstances. They may be able to provide you with the .pdf...

    Did you wear any EA or FC "bling"?

    In my travels, I've heard that there are only 2 true rings in Freemasonry--14th & 33rd degree. This belief would certainly support the position that a blue lodge ring is little more than fraternal jewelry. While the ring, itself, may not withstand scrutiny under Masonic Law, the S&C as a...

    Freemasonry the new fad?

    I saw another shirt with S&C on VH1's Black Ink reality show. The shop owner, Ceasar, has been wearing a red and yellow one. It says "25th Degree: Prince of the Street"

    Wearing the Bling

    This may be redundant...EA, FC, and MM have each become subject to the square and compasses, albeit in different arrangements. An EA or FC should, therefore, have the right and privilege to represent both in the appropriate way as taught during their degrees. My Freemasonry

    PHO vs PHA

    If you have issues with the irregularity of NGL, you should take them up with the proper Masonic authorities. I certainly don't claim to hold the right to sit in judgement on matters such as these; but, simply state the facts as they exist. Perhaps you should express your concerns to the...

    PHA Tattoos??

    Select Master is YR; major inconsistency with your reply. Confirmed my suspicions...hope no one else engages you in this discussion. It's been unnecessarily disrespectful to every worthy Master Mason. Now we all can see why. As so many good men have stated, reading a monitor doesn't make you...

    PHO vs PHA

    NGL still exists. Got it. PHO shares a legitimate Masonic history with PHA. Got it. At some point, there was a schism that placed the authority claimed by NGL beyond the bounds of regular Freemasonry. Got it. Therefore, despite its historical origins, the contemporary NGL is irregular...

    When can I wear my ring?

    buckeyebro...sounds like we'll be at the same place this weekend. Our custom has been to not wear rings,etc. until after one has completed the MM proficiency. PM me...I'll meet you and we can check out the vendors.
