Rip Snorter Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Swords are involved as well! Never knew, you can be recommended by friends, but you have to make a formal request for membership. Or so the friend told me. No, but I thanked him. Frat in College told me about myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I've seen a lot of photographs in the newspaper of installations. Never seen a king or a high priest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Mason in Lodge with a sword is the Tiler (guardian at the entry door) and it's strictly ceremonial. Masons are not supposed to ask someone if they want to become a Mason. The potential candidate is supposed to ask about the craft, then they can start the process. My Dad was a Mason and Master of his Lodge and he never asked me to be a Mason, I asked one of his friends (who was a Mason) what it was all about. I opened the door and I started my journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall exactly what that was for, I think it was something for Bright Monday. But we were "wearing dresses." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't ask me if I wanted to join, I can't recall the conversation many years back in time, but it was not an obvious one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
