Brother thank you for your detailed and consistent explanation of the first 3 steps. I started in early 2000's and had life events wallop me before I could get my Fellow Craft degree. I moved and have a supportive relationship now. Anyway thank you for the time and hard work you and your wife to create this rounded explanation of this Craft. Sincerly Bro. Michael
I wish we had a better understanding of exactly where the lodge was before. There are general understandings of where the places use to be, but nobody can for-sure point to a spot and say "the lodge was here". Shame that that sort of thing gets lost to time.
Hey Jared what can be done about overdue lodge fees? I want my grandpa to attend my third degree later this year, but he is ~10 years behind, and he can't afford it. I heard dues don't have to be paid after a certain age?
Since time may be of the essence I will answer this here, but might make a video on it later. As always the caveat is: "In the state of Mississippi..." To become re-instated all you have to do is pay the current years' dues. However: after 3 years the lodge should form an Investigation Committee to speak with the Brother and find out why he stayed away so long. (Is there a problem with another Brother they can help work out, was he in trouble with the law, busy at work, hard on cash, just lost interest... whatever). Then he is voted back into the lodge in the usual way. Also, in MS, you can file for exemption. This has 2 requirements: +25 years in Freemasonry (*not* required to be in-a-row or "the last 25 years"), and +72 years of age. The member must request the exemption, the secretary will present it to the lodge for a vote and then send the information to the Grand Lodge. I hope that answers your question and I hope that your Grandpa is able to attend your Master Mason Degree!
Once again it is apparent that our ritual in PA is quite different than yours! No mention in the EA lecture as to what constitutes a Lodge. The VSL is only called "The Holy Bible" in our official ritual, but I am told if one is not Christian they can opt for the Holy Text of their faith and modification is made to the ritual wording.
I am surprised by what you are saying. Maybe you should read your ritual one more time. The formulation might not be the same but many keywords are there. That being said, I am not from PA but NY.
@@severinodelacruz I assure you as Worshipful Master of my Lodge. I know what our ritual does and does not contain. If you are not aware. PA ritual is the ritual used by the Antients prior to the unification in the 19th Century and is significantly different than any other Jurisdictions rituals. I encourage you to come on over to PA when things are back in session and see for yourself.
The shirt im talking about is on the site you got flute from windingstaircase.com please look at the shirt it says the future of masonry thank you keep giving knowledge sir
It would seem to me that with the way Bro. Juan drew that shirt that any Freemason could rightfully wear it. www.thewindingstairs.com/product/the-future-of-freemasonry-t-shirt/
What is a Mason ..... I am so disappointed in you slugworth :( ..... hahahaha Jared you are missing out .... so you have on demand by chance ? Showtime channel on demand ?
What is a Mason basically it's full of Masonic memes and is just a great show ........ I mean the damn psychiatrist wears red and blue glasses and his name is dr Jachoby ... J.B hahaha
What is a Mason yes they just came out with a new season but obviously start with season 1 episode 1 and you will clearly see that the show is Masonic entertainment hahah ... please let me know when you give it a watch will you Jared??? Cheers my friend
I have been introduced to our lodge as a guest , I asked them when i can be master mason they told me min after 6 months or 1 year. Is it possible to attain 3 degree in 1 year?
Well, there is nothing we can do to stop it. However, I would say that for the words you mentioned the person needs to be an Entered Apprentice before wearing the shirt and should there be a Square and Compasses logo on it then he might need to be a Master Mason first, depending on how the logo is displayed.

Thank you so much, Brother!
In London, UK, emulation ritual (the version of the ritual we follow) refers to the book as the VSL also.
Good to know!
Hey brother Jared. My lodge has moved locations several times as well through out the years, since it was chartered in 1869.
I wish we had a better understanding of exactly where the lodge was before. There are general understandings of where the places use to be, but nobody can for-sure point to a spot and say "the lodge was here". Shame that that sort of thing gets lost to time.
Thank you. Sir for your assistant in answering my question
My pleasure!
In Greece we call it "Book of Law" ("Βίβλος του Νόμου")
Excellent - thank you for sharing!
As usual, great video
Thank you very much!

My lodge used the Holy book of light and I was sworn in with a Tanakh which is a Jewish "Bible".
That's quite interesting, thank you for sharing!

Good to hear that it is at least an option in PA.

Cheers slugworth ..... glad you are making more frequent videos .... hey Jared are you a twin peaks fan???
Does it answer your question if I tell you I had to google (in full fear of being flagged by my work's network) Twin Peaks? I've never watched it.
What is a Mason ..... I am so disappointed in you slugworth :( ..... hahahaha Jared you are missing out .... so you have on demand by chance ? Showtime channel on demand ?
What is a Mason basically it's full of Masonic memes and is just a great show ........ I mean the damn psychiatrist wears red and blue glasses and his name is dr Jachoby ... J.B hahaha
Yes, I do. I'll try to catch a few episodes over the weekend. Sounds like a hoot.
What is a Mason yes they just came out with a new season but obviously start with season 1 episode 1 and you will clearly see that the show is Masonic entertainment hahah ... please let me know when you give it a watch will you Jared??? Cheers my friend
Hi dear Brother, where i can find images of the Lectures with good resolution?
ALL your videos are great.
T.'.F.'.A.'. from Brazil
We have a few versions available on our Lodge of Research website: www.mslodgeofresearch.org
does an entered entered apprentice has to pay for supper when going to his or her pass out
You said her... no true Masonic Lodge has Ladies as members. We are a Fraternity, which by definition is male only.
I have been introduced to our lodge as a guest , I asked them when i can be master mason they told me min after 6 months or 1 year. Is it possible to attain 3 degree in 1 year?
Yes, it is. In most places, most men will go from EA to MM in about 3 months time, depending on how quickly he learns and how often the lodge meets.
What is a Mason ok thanks brother✌🏻
Sir is any person allowed too wear a shirt that says the future of freemasonry
Well, there is nothing we can do to stop it. However, I would say that for the words you mentioned the person needs to be an Entered Apprentice before wearing the shirt and should there be a Square and Compasses logo on it then he might need to be a Master Mason first, depending on how the logo is displayed.
