I follow this thread mostly because my granddad was a Shriner and I'm interested in Masonry, even though I'm not eligible to join. (drat the requirement that you believe in a higher power!) Anyway, this was in the state paper today, and I thought you guys might find it interesting. It's a picture of a lodge in a tiny Arkansas town from the 1930s. Please forgive the poor quality -- I don't have a scanner.

One of my good friends just became Worshipful Master of the Federal Lodge #1 in DC. Just from what you guys say here, I understand that's a big deal. But what does it really mean?

A friend of mine mentioned that his lodge is working with a deaf awareness group this year, and it put a question in my mind. Say a blind or deaf man, who meets the requirements, wants to join. The deaf guy only does ASL and doesn't lip-read. Clearly a non-Mason translator wouldn't work, so are there Mason interpreters available? For the blind guy, are there Braille or audio versions of the ritual work available? I asked my friend, but I'd like to hear a wider response from you guys.

Keetron posted:once a year "open to all who are interested to look inside the building and learn a bit more about masonry" How could I find out when local groups are doing this? I can't join because I'm a filthy atheist, but my granddad was a Shriner and I'm curious.

You guys are doing a really poo poo job of keeping the Bitcoin system down. I am severely disappointed in your vast conspiracy powers.

I don't know if any of you are in the area or would be interested, but the first cornerstone laying ceremony in over 100 years in Arkansas is coming up later this month. Continued growth brings new lodge

shame on an IGA posted:Some years old but probably not much change. Apparently owning a liquor license is or at least was disqualifying for membership in NC and Arkansas

Just FYI there are two OES pins going on the first commercial space flight (hopefully) today as one astronaut's personal items

And now, for no reason other than I just ran across it again, I present a picture of my paternal grandparents, with grandpa Chuck in his Shriner fez! I thought y'all might appreciate it. I believe it's from the late 90s and in Iowa near Sioux City

I'm kinda surprised by W Virginia since they broke off from Virginia during the Civil War, but the rest is unfortunately expected

I think the overall decrease in religious beliefs is a problem. I'd be interested because one grandfather was a Mason, but I don't believe in any kind of higher power.
