Leaving the religiosity out of the picture and up to my personal interpretation. I mean that's what it's supposed to be anyway right? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I would oppose this because by the sounds of it LDS doesn't want to be some "appendant body" of Freemasonry. It sounds like the other way around. Masonry is supposed to include all religious beliefs. It's bad enough outsiders already think Freemasonry is some obscure religion without injecting a bunch of religion into Masonry. It's exhausting enough explaining why we aren't a religion without having to also explain why I'm not a Mormon. (Not saying Mormonism is a bad thing. It's just exhausting to set people straight constantly.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196079893895091920.post-58837754377463199382016-07-29T09:11:45.318-07:002016-07-29T09:11:45.318-07:00This article would be laughable if it didn't p...This article would be laughable if it didn't point to a pathetic truth. A dear friend recently told me that he could not become a Freemason because it was too religious. I was shocked! Where did he get this idea? Now I find increasing evidence for my friend's perceptions, and this ambiguous article adds to it. Do other Masons feel as I do that we must step back from this brink?Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124430120276037778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196079893895091920.post-52437799352705302572016-07-29T05:28:08.829-07:002016-07-29T05:28:08.829-07:00Can we please demand that Cryptic/RSM be restored ...Can we please demand that Cryptic/RSM be restored as a prerequisite to the Orders first? If we're going to invigorate appendant and concordant bodies with this strategy, the General Grand Council should take priority over DeMolay. We'll still get the kids who want to become knights, and teach them a lesson in delayed gratification to boot. We could revise the Ritual to place the Golden Tablets inside the Secret Vault and substitute Moroni for Hiram to give the most beautiful lecture in all of Masonry. Could replace Jerusalem with Palmyra, as a coup de grace.
