Random Building Thoughts - 2023-05-06

 

 -------------- WISDOM --------------  
 

 When don't want Irritated Swine on you Ashlar, 
Work Discretely and Share Wisely.

A posted response after this meme was shared...

Brother
: What does that mean?
Coach: Hint... Matthew 7:6
.
 -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------  
 
 

For Further Light:
 
  -------------- HUMOR -------------- 
 

...FILLED WITH CLANDESTINE ALIENS!?!?
 
<snicker> You can tell by their flaps.
 
-------------- DON'T CONFUSE THEM! --------------  
 
 
You Damage 
both the Fraternity and its Members 
by Masquerading Freemasonic Education 
as Masonic Education. 
Don't Confuse the two 
if you want Either to Be Better.

-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 

The punishment men receive 
for doing wrong 
is often times remaining steadfastly 
who they are.
  
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
  
-------------- CO-OPTED --------------  
 

Oh the irony! 
 
A person pointed out how cross he becomes when 
someone dares to use a word outside of accepted and established use. 
At the same time, 
he refuses to acknowledge that 
the definition he indignantly defends 
is actually a deviation from the accepted and established use 
prior to this deviation being accepted and established. 
 
He ignorantly attacked the original meaning and use 
as if they were the deviation 
and summarily worships the actual deviation. 
 
When this occurs, 
Ignorance indignantly attacks anyone who dares use Craft words 
outside of established norms, 
even when used legitimately 
within the context those words were originally applied 
before being organizationally co-opted. 
 
Oh my! 
What darkness through yonder window breaks!
 
For Further Light:
Light!
 
-------------- BUSTER --------------  
 
FREEMASONIC BRAIN BUSTERS 101
 
I: What one question 
can you ask about a Brother's ritual 
to help you understand immediately 
whether he works a Preston-Webb style ritual 
or an Emulation style ritual 
(already understanding 
they do not know the difference)?
 
R: H** M*** W****** T**** **** 
**** S******* *L**** R***** ****?
 
-------------- THE LODGE --------------  
 
 

 The Lodge is not any Building 
or any Group 
who perform Ritual therein. 
Far too many Brothers see it this way though 
and for them, 
that is all that a Lodge can be. 
 
-------------- LISTEN! -------------- 
  
 
-------------- IGNORANCE --------------
