This is simliar to what my CI told me last week when I asked the same question. It ties in with being "cautious." Freemason Connect Mobile

Not yet MM. FC will be conferred on me next Thursday, and due to our Lodge being closed July and August, I've been told my MM raising is projected for the last Thursday of September 2013, a nice turn of events as my birthday is Sept 29. What a week it will be. I am greatly looking forward to it...

This was exactly the point I was trying to convey. I chose the wrong words. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Freemasonry mobile app

When I realized I was getting no response to my emails, I phoned the local Lodge as well as my state Grand Lodge. When my calls were not returned, I checked the Lodge's website to find what day they meet. I made a trip up there about an hour before the meeting time and talked to some of the...

I wish I had known about these forums six months ago. The advice would have been invaluable. But now, I can use these forums to help others who had the same questions I once did. These forums are great resource for Brethren and candidates alike. Freemason Connect Mobile

Congrats, glad it went well. I'll say something I didnt fully comprehend when it was first told to me...you are about to embark on the greatest journey of your life! And so long as your heart and your mind are open and sincere, journey will be a great one, and hopefully will last you a lifetime...

WM was on your IC? Mine was Sec, Sr and Jr Warden. Freemason Connect Mobile

As stated by another, consider any questions you may have. But also, consider your reason for joining. Assume that somewhere along the lines you will be asked why you want to be a Mason. Maybe by IC, maybe another time and place. The important thing is that you have an answer to that question...

Dfreybur, what you said makes perfect sense regarding why it is better to wait. I suppose that would fall under circumventing my desires, in this case, my natural urge to learn as much as I can when it comes to new things. It is true, I have plenty of time ahead. I may as well not overwhelm...

I forgot what a great episode Yesterday's Enterprise was. Gotta agree with the first three B5 seasons. Loved all of Firefly but fav was the pilot "Serenity." Freemason Connect Mobile

Dont be nervous. Just be yourself and be honest. I was very nervous but after a few moments I calmed down and realized that I was talking to normal men like me. Convince your mind...tell yourself you are just having a normal everyday conversation with a group of guys. The key is honesty. Be...

Thank you very much. I will check them out. So long as there are no spoilers, I will definately look into them. I just dont want to ruin the experiences that I have yet to go through. Freemason Connect Mobile

Spawny, thank you for clearing that up for me. You have affirmed that I am doing things correctly. I stongly desire to know more, but not at the cost of tradition. Thank you brother. Freemason Connect Mobile

Thank you Brother MarkR. In your opinion, is it safe to read any of those while still EA without ruining the surprises that await me as I continue my journey? Freemason Connect Mobile

I did the exact same thing. I think it was the anxiety of not knowing. But it is well worth the wait. My IC was two weeks ago. My EA was two nights ago. It was definately worth the patience. Freemason Connect Mobile

Greetings all. I was curious if anybody on these forums plays Halo 4 or Halo 3 for the Xbox 360.

That is true. I did leave that part out of my post, much as that though did not occur to me when I was in this candidate's shoes. Masons are men. Many of us have jobs and families, both of which are to come before Masonry. It may not be that the Lodge is busy this month so much as the brothers...

No problem at all. If for some reason you still don't hear anything after Tuesday (4th) then I would definately show up and speak to the lodge secretary. Make sure if it comes to that, that you arrive early enough to speak to them before thier Masons-only meeting starts. Freemason Connect Mobile

Very well put, littlehunter. Freemason Connect Mobile

I felt the exact same way a month ago. I was eventually contacted and met with IC the week before my petition was voted on. I was wondering the exact same thing you are. I had began to think they forgot about me. But what you have been told is right. Just be patient. I know that is not what you...
