“A Valuable Aid to the Memory.”
Is it still inaccurate? I thought a PGM corrected it.It's just the beginning. Before long, mouth to ear won't mean anything. It'll be who can best memorize an inaccurate cipher book.
I thought the committee on work was going to correct it and Maccoy was to be the sole publisher. I would think it would be accurate. That was what I remembered from Grand Lodge, but I have remembered many things wrong in the past.
I believe that to be the case. Not sure where Blake has his info, but do not believe his statement is accurate. However feel free to enlighten us.
And this is part of the problem. At least if it's written, even in code, there won't be any dispute on the tense of the word.....but I have remembered many things wrong in the past
New Green book. All is correctAnd this is part of the problem. At least if it's written, even in code, there won't be any dispute on the tense of the word.....
Both of.my jurisdictions have a cipher and the GL have a nonciphered version so in the rare case there is a dispute u call the GRSec and say I need page 22 line 4 word 6 and they say it's WORD (just an example not actual ritual)
Also it allows the candidate to study on their own

No doubt....its hard enough to find the time just to learn the cat lectures much less rituals and whatnot. We were eligible to buy the RED book in OK upon receiving the 3rd degree. Very valuable.And this is part of the problem. At least if it's written, even in code, there won't be any dispute on the tense of the word.....

I hold membership in a cipher jurisdiction and a written-out-except-specific-words jurisdiction. All the work is done by memorization in all tiled meetings.
What happens is during practice there is a definite right answer not two ritual experts going "What I have is ..."
. I️ agree and feel that that helps you memorize it.sometimes it feels like I'm learning double.... first learning the information, second learning how to decode lol.
