The wording in the obligation is different in every jurisdiction. So far I've learned two and am in the process of learning a third. Sure enough that part of the obligation is slightly different in each version. The ones I have learned all say to obey the rules of the jurisdiction I am a member of so they handle the case of transferring my membership. As I am now a member in 3 jurisdictions I see a few extra restrictions compared to a member of only 1 jurisdiction.
The wording includes the word "or" in a way that might be ambiguous. Ask yourself if it means to obey the rules of your mother jurisdiction "and" your current jurisdiction. Ask yourself if it means to obey the rules of your mother jurisdiction "or" your current jurisdiction.
Then also look up if your current jurisdiction has an "act like the locals" or an "act like you are at home" rule for visits.
Thanks, Bro Doug. It is not hard to act like a local when I am one. My Lodge in Missouri is only 25 miles from my old one in Arkansas. I don't work at it, I just try to be a Brother.
