BroBill, you stole my thunder! Eric, go ahead and petition if that is what you really want, confident that nothing in Masonry will conflict with your firmly held beliefs. As an aside, your beliefs are mine. I think nothing has hurt the Fraternity as much as the internet. I was raised...

This is interesting. A lot of the guys when I became a Mason, my father-in-law included, were HAM radio operators. These guys were WWII vets and got into the hobby after serving in the military. I imagined part of what I would have to learn was Morse code!

I like going to church but I gotta say, given the choice, I prefer sitting under an old oak tree with my Bible!

For an old thread the beehive is generating lots of buzz.

Yeah, I know about the "official" Moslem view of the Bible. I'm pretty sure the original story is apocryphal. It's popular to present white Christian men as intolerant, ignorant and closed minded. No one has a corner on that market, but we are, and have been the target du jour for quite a few...

I heard the same story except it was a Christian white guy trying to get a lodge of Moslem guys to open the Bible on the altar.

Ya know, Texas courthouses have to be the best anywhere. Thanks for the link!

Israel? Shooooot....Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 or TL2K of The Grand Lodge of Texas "Tranquility Lodge 2000 is based in Texas under auspices of The Grand Lodge of Texas until such time as the Lodge may hold its meetings on the Moon. Our meetings are held quarterly at various cities in Texas...

Lots of people agree with Dr. Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint on the destructive nature of the rap culture. The Policy Bridge has this study online. http://www.policy-bridge.org./PolicyBridge_final_report%20on%20Culture%205-11-07.pdf

Aww, skip it.

I spend more than $200/month on cokes! That's gotta go. Boom, lodge dues taken care of!

Welcome B-Mac!

Bro. Vick, I think we are agreeing. I had read the article and agree with the point of the author. As I stated in my original post, "there is such a thing as taking something too far." As far as being defensive, I apologize for sounding so. I was having a little fun while responding and my...

*The following is a statement of personal opinion and in no way is intended to disparage differing thoughts* This is Texas. In view of that enlightening statement, let me put this forward. Jeans, a nice shirt and proper footwear (boots!) are fine and dandy for lodge. I believe that shows proper...

Guided Tour I have been to the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia and it is a wonder as well. Way to go Motor City! KD

This is just my opinion. I doubt there are many, if any Masonic related Bible studies, commentaries or guides. Masonry is a personal journey and one that, through a Brother's personal study of his own religion, traditions and culture leads his to becoming that perfect ashlar. Any guided study...

Sometimes peoples's medications or "advancing mental states of mind" can cause them to act out. I'd wanna find out if there was some organic reason for their 'tudes.

Great photos Blake! I enjoyed the pics and the commentary. KD

I'm for being able to visit MWPHGLOT lodges and vicey-versy for them and for being able to hold Masonic communications with a Brother from a MWPHGLOT lodge. I'm not sure, though, how it will work out in the "real world". Just being allowed to do those things will be enough for now. Time...
