Hi,

www.freemasons-freemasonry.com...

I'd just like to ask, is this website actually a well-known,
mason-friendly, mason-accurate, 100% pure and accepted
resource for masons with no controversy associated with
it by masons?

Thanks,

KPB

The site is mainly made up of articles written by Masons, and while many of the articles reflect the opinions of individual Masons (and not Masonry as a whole), I think, on the whole, the site is a fair reflection on Freemasonry in general.

I am a Mason, and I would recommend the site for general reading.

Just bear in mind, though, that the articles are opinions (albeit by Masons) and even as Masons, we do have different views on Masonry. But read enough articles there, and you'll get the overall picture.

If you are looking for answers to some of the common stuff told on this site, then www.masonicinfo.com... is a good one to visit.
They break down a lot of the common misconceptions and give a well explained answer.

This is a website that I read on a regular basis. It's not controlled by any body of Masonry, but it's ran and maintained by very knowledgeable Masons. Some very interesting articles.

I guess I was confused about the difference between speculative masonry and core masonry.

Operative masonry= brick laying
Speculative masonry= philosophy, charity, philanthropy, community service, ect.

In a nutshell.

Yah. I really meant masons who research stuff and post papers on subjects such as mysticism. That is very common - but that material itself is not masonry...and thats where tin foil hats sling accusations.

Is that the correct way to put that?

Masonry is like a prelude to the mysteries that exist in mystery schools and such. Many come to masonry looking for something but not knowing what that something might be. You won't learn the keys to finding these secrets, but you will meet men who have started that journey and with their help, you can learn an unlimited amount of things. We aren't some uber powerful cabal, and we aren't some religious cult, just men who wish to better themselves and their respective communities.

What is your precise association with masonry and other lodges/bodies?

I have been a mason for about 8 years and I am currently the master of my lodge.

Master of the Lodge? You poor thing. I might sit in the East next year myself, but elections isn't for two more weeks.

reply to post by KSigMason


I'm pretty excited about next year too. I will have the rare honour of being the founding WM of a brand new University Lodge which will be consecrated in February.

And to top it all off, I am going in as First Principal of my Holy Royal Arch Chapter.

I'm in the chair of one of my Lodges this year, but I think next year is going to be an extra-special one...

All of you are nuts.

I am going to celebrate my second year of retirement from the East and drink a beer in each of your honor's.

Don't be too hasty to relax. I'm pretty sure District's going to get hold of you soon (if they haven't done so already) and you're going to end up having to do an obscene number of installations...

I've never heard the duties of the Outer Guard or Tyler described this way

Actually it was Grand Lodge, kind of hard to say 'no' to the Grand Master, what with him controlling the NSA and all....

Hah. This is a special New Jersey officer appointment, Senior Kegmeister.
