I quite agree with you on this one. The cost of maintenance and such for the dinosaur in Waco, in my estimation, has gotten out of hand. The location, as others have mentioned, is no longer central to anything in the state, and also, other states have their Grand Lodge Communications in...

I, for one, have not seen or heard this rumor. My lodges, neither of them, that I know of, have received any kind of solicitation to that effect. Being a principle officer in both lodges, I would have been made aware of such, or so I would think.

To change your status from non-mason to Master Mason, you must log into the website, go to your profile and edit. It cannot be done from the mobile application.

I am under the impression that he should be able to count that time as total time. I went throught the Law book and could not find anything specific on it. I will check with a couple of people here and find out. One of my good friends is a PDDGM, and he should know.

I have not seen any of these one day classes, but, depending on the circumstances, I can see where there might be some advantage to a man taking one to become a Master Mason. I would not, myself, I don't think, want to do it that way, because I think that something that you earn by working for...

I'm confused. I thought this was the General Masonry section. Unless I jumped in after it was moved.

In reference to how you vote, I am glad Bro. dhouseholder brought the appropriate article to light, because, in my lodge I vote my heart and concience on a candidate or a brother in a ballot, not how someone else says I should vote. And, Bro. Queen also stated that the Investigating Committee's...

I can just imagine, just getting the proper pronunciation, for me, would be a chore. I can barely speak English some days. Ironically, I do not partake of alcoholic beverage, so, I should be fluent, but not so on some days. LOL!

Here in San Angelo, I have seen my lodge dark only one time, and that was when a stated meeting fell on New Year's Day, otherwise, we are always light.

I am in a position now, Senior Warden, that has the eyes and ears of the lodge on me. I just hope I can live up to their expectations, and mine too. This is a small, rural lodge where everyone in the lodge is a PM two or three times over, except me, and they are a wealth of Masonic information...

Are you implying a bit of disinformation being released, perhaps? Possibly something going on that is not what it seems? A political game? It's been done before.:thumbup:

Had you been in Texas, and I been on the IC, that question would NEVER have been asked. It is not on our petition, either. When we investigate a petitioner, we look at other things about them, not their bedroom habits.

I hate to say it, but, the Catholic Church is really big on the comdemnation of both.

Have no fear, my Brother. If there are homosexual or bi-sexual brothers in your lodge, they are there for the Masonry, not you. If they took their obligation as seriously as you did there is nothing to worry about. They are in search of the same light that you are. The only time I would get...

Old phobias and old hatreds die hard, and the men who harbor them do also. These men tend to be bitter about many things in their lives, I've noticed from time to time. It all boils down to bigotry at it's finest, and I hate that. 'Nuff said!

Good and fair questions, Brother Dave.

So Mote It Be! Where is that emoticon anyway?

God did not destroy Sodom and Gamorah(sp?) just because of homosexuality, he destroyed them because of the overall depravity of the populace within the two cities and surrounding area. There is nothing specifically pointing out homosexuals in the scripture, that I can see. He destroyed "EVERYONE."

If we cannot keep it there, we should just keep away from the subject altogether. "Peace and Harmony....."

My opinion, which normally doesn't count for much, shut this one down. It has played about as much as it can without getting really ugly. Just my opinion, though.
