A Freemason can be friends with anyone he wants to be friends with but he can not Masonically communicate with someone from a clandestine lodge nor attend the lodge.Dear Gentlemen.
Question:
Can a "Freemason" from Clandestine(Wild, masonicly illegal) Lodge be -- friends(have good relations) with a Freemason form Regular Lodge?
Thanks!

but he can not Masonically communicate
He can not talk about what goes on in rituals, means of recognition, and certain other things with a clandestine mason.If possible -- could You, please, explain that?

Great!I hope to call you guys brothers some day. I'm planning on petitioning very soon, wish me luck!
Are you new to internet discussion threads? That will NEVER happen!For any future posts can you guys stick to my original questions?
Lol, from what I have seen this is VERY true.Are you new to internet discussion threads? That will NEVER happen!
EDIT: P.S. Let me state for the record my intentions with the fraternity are far different then "Ressam." I have a genuine interest in Freemasonry, which started when I first learned about it and was told it was a "fraternity based around morality," which is perfect. I am always interested in finding ways of bettering myself and my community and I am also interested for social aspects. I have been trying to do as much research as I can without learning things I'm not supposed to. I recently ordered The Complete Idiot's Guide to Freemasonry by S. Brent Morris and it was a great read, very educational. I hope to call you guys brothers some day. I'm planning on petitioning very soon, wish me luck!
Agreed!Good and wholesome advice !!!
Great post!Besides accepting Christ and having a family, becoming a Mason has been one of the best decisions I've ever made!!! I would wish you luck in becoming a Mason; however, it is not by luck that one becomes a mason! I will wish you a good journey though my friend…
I was wondering beyond the more well known side degree and such like the Scottish and York Rites, Shriners, Grotto, Tall Cedars, Rosicrucians, what are some more that aren't commonly listed?
Also what was the first side degree/appendant body you joined and why?
Also would appreciate hearing stories about your journey as a Mason, about your petitioning process, ect.
All these things would greatly help me on my own journey. Thanks in advance.
We both petitioned later in life. I was 58.I petitioned to be a Mason almost 2 yrs ago, at the age of 52
Congratulations!this Friday will begin the York Rite degrees.
I like this also.My goal is to be a Templar Knight in the York Rite because it is the only Masonic associated degree that requires a belief in Jesus Christ.
, EA took 2 months, FC 3 weeks, MM 3 weeks later, raised FEB 27, 2016.
It is 28 days here in Kentucky. Is this a Full Masonic Month? Had not heard this term before but I have only been an MM for 3 years.here in PA a "Full Masonic Month" must pass between degrees.
