Women Freemasons

[Blake Bowden]

How is it possible that other Masonic bodies support women in Freemasonry or choose to co-exist? Are they not bound to the same obligation we took?

 

[Bro. Stewart P.M.]

No.

Co-Masonry is most certainly a clandestined group, I would say even more so than those Brothers who are of PHA affiliation. Our PHA Brethren also view Co-Masonry as clandestined. It is a completely "modified" version of freemasonry than the Regular version (A.F. & A.M. or F. & A.M.). We do have a version of co-masonry within the body of O.E.S.

Also note that Co-Masonry discussion can become quite "heated" on message board sites. Though I do not expect it to ever become that way here, its good to be prepared.

I dont see how they can call themselves Masons if they don't take the same Obligation we do. Thats like a cricket player calling himself a baseball player.

I agree with you and believe that is the whole point of the "discussions" held at other Masonicly based sites. "They" believe that Co-Masonry is just as legit as the Ancient form... without dispute.

No they do not have the same obligation's.

call yourself what you will, just do right by the Lord and I could care less. This world has enough to worry about.

I see Co-Masonry as clandestine as well -- but they are "masonic" in most ways, and though I can't and won't think of a co-mason as a brother -- I do believe the members are better people in themselves for practicing any of our precepts.

I agree with you to a point. I have several friends that are Prince Hall Masons. Even though we can't discuss Lodge business or the esoteric work with each other.... They are STILL and always be Masons.

hehehe.. ! you have never been to an Eastern Star meeting..? Co-exist..?

 

[Wingnut]

Prince Hall is Recognized there for they are not clandestine. Any group can call itself whatever it wants. Co-Masonry might as well call itself the Royal Order of the Water Buffalo.
