I should find out soon enough, the Secretary is putting the paperwork into the snail-mail today.There will be something about it when the paperwork settles.
And reading over the Emulation Ritual, they use chastity. NM is a bit more blunt. hmy:

My obligation enjoins me from making a woman a Mason and from being present at such an event. Period. It makes no mention of Eastern Star. The fact remains that there are female Masons and that I have not broken any obligation in recognizing that.
Female perspective: As a researcher I want that knowledge. I spend a lot of time assisting the Lodge with fundraising and even sharing knowledge about the history of freemasonry. I dedicated my academic PhD career studying freemasonry and the affiliated bodies. The research will always be incomplete without having the basic understanding and full knowledge of the ritual of the Lodge. However, it is the one place I am not allowed to enter and partake in. I would be ok with that, if I could actually be part of the Lodge of Research. I fail to see why women can not belong to the Lodge of Research. The Lodge of Research is not able to publish anything that anyone is not allowed to see. Therefore, my opinion is why should the Lodge of Research be dedicated to men only? Shouldn't the Lodge of Research to exploring the other facets of masonry? All affiliated bodies of Masonry were written by Master Masons or female relatives of Master Masons. I accept the fact as a women I will not be allowed to share in the mysteries of freemasonry beyond what is already published and general knowledge. But to promote understanding and advancement in our knowledge to seek the truth, would it not be more beneficial to research more than just masonry but what the other bodies teach as well? Just a thought.
After all these years I just. Realized that in Oder for there to be an injunction against it it must have already been done
My Freemasonry
Just wondering!!!
Questions : if Adam was one did it occur before or after Eve was taking out ? Second any ideas on how long exclusion of females madmen and such has been part of the oath!!
My Freemasonry
Yes Adam was one and Eve was formed after. As Americans and society as whole we have changed every walk of our life to keep from excluding or offending any gender,race or religion. But there are certain things I do not believe in and breaking an oath or promise is defiantly not what I will do. Do you think it would be fine for straight college male to join and live in a sorority house. Yes I hate to even compare our fraternity to a college social club but think about it.
My Freemasonry
Bro book surely you do not recognize any woman that claims to be Freemason. I do not and never will. I also believe any lodge that does is clandestine.

The paths and lights of insight are different for every organization and the original insight was shared and was once possessed by the one organization I can't belong to. I took obligations to not to disrupt the principle fraternity that gave me our order.
