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 --------------

  -------------- 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!

-------------- 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 -------------- 

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!

LIGHT!
