Yes. I get it. You do not see what's wrong with what you are stating. And that is the problem. You have not addressed her question but rather, you have by your reaction made effort to impose your world view upon what you believe she should accept rather than encourage her and direct her to get what she truly wants. Interesting.
Yes, I come across dense people quite often, hence my ability to recognize them when I encounter them.
Good! An educational moment: They are those Freemasonic Orders that limit there membership to Males only. I belong to one that is recognized by UGLE. You might be familiar with it. It's the GL of Florida. What you might refer to as mainstream or State Masonry.
Only to those who do not recognize them.
Good! Then you can no longer claim to not know about their existence into the future and hopefully you shall refer those who would benefit accordingly.
Only the one that you and I belong to. There are others that exist that are not defined by your narrow definition.
You're dismissing the issue. You're deviating from the path. Your tactic is not working.
Yes! And a few of them are FREEMASONIC. If you asked to join, they would direct you toward a Male Craft Order. They know how important the principle are, even to males.
You are changing her wording. She was not interesting in "something masonic". You are perhaps incapable of hearing her. Fortunately, there are others who can.
Only to you my Brother. I'm okay with it though. Your ridicule doesn't do anything but confirm specific things about your character.
Actually, they do decide that. Just not for us. Which is the way that regularity works. It is decided by the Order itself as they judge other orders.
It's clear by your insufficient example that you truly do not know how it works. You are correct on one issue to which you allude in your example: Governments govern their own boundaries, and this applies to organizations. Regularity can only be judge in relation to the organization judging. Hence an outsider cannot judge another to be regular in any way shape or form other than I relation to themselves. It's strictly an internal measure.
But only as your organization judges regularity. Others have different measurements, untethered by you preconceived notions.
It STILL would not answer the question posed.
I see now by your contribution that you have used a flawed argument technique to make a point.
Yes Brother. You fail to see and furthermore cannot see what is hidden in plain sight. You have admitted that you were ignorant as to there being female Freemasonic Organizations until this thread and that you admittedly responded to her question in ignorance. Once you were shown the Light and errors of your ways, you dogmatically insist that your original response was the most correct and dismissed the legitimacy of what is clearly a legitimate path option for her, saying that the only legitimate path is to accept that she could never be a Freemason and should accepted OES as a substitute and put away any thoughts of becoming a Freemason.
I note there are both co masonic and feminine lodges. If asked. I will provide contact information.
Do you work Emulation? If so, refer me to the page.
Yes, I am aware he is. I still don't see it in my ritual. Do you work Emulation? If so, what page are you on? Which Province are you in?
My point was that the companion was citing ritual as if it were a universal response. I was indicating I do not in my ritual as a UGLE Mason.
