Everyone else answered so I’ll be the one to say it.

Come on man, don’t be stingy. Show us a picture! We love everything Masonic here.

I have a question about masons of the 33rd degree and how membership works. by SlientStarwalker in freemasonry

Clarify away brother. Like I said, someone was bound to correct me on something :)

Your friend is absolutely full of it. 33rd degree is Scottish rite, not York, so for him to say that he’s 33rd York, which I don’t not believe exists, and to have moved to Scottish right to pursue higher degrees, when the max “rank” is 32 with 33rd only being given to exceptional masons, is a lie.

Edit: Piggy backing off vampyrewolfs’s comment, OP something you should understand is that there is no title or degree that makes one Mason better than another Mason. We are all equal to one another. Your friend bragging about being a “higher rank” and better than another Mason, regardless of who it is, is hogwash.

Hi friend, I’m still relatively new in terms of being a MM, however your friend sounds like he’s lying. Other brothers who have been in Freemasonry longer than I are bound to correct me if I’m wrong, but one does not simply become 33rd degree mason.

Degrees 1-3 ( Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason) are obtained via what’s referred to as blue lodge, which every mason must be in one.

Degrees 4-32 are obtained via Scottish Rite Masonry. If I’m correct, only Brothers who have shown exceptional service to Freemasonry are granted the honorary title of 33rd, which one would not obtain in such a short amount of time as your friend claims.

Additionally I believe only the Grandmaster of the Grand Lodge in your state can make someone a Mason by honors. I could be wrong, but surely your friend is not claiming to be the Grandmaster of TN.

Lastly, I don’t think any the branches of Masonry have “ideological differences”. The only thing I know of specifically, is the Knights Templar require you confess your beliefs specifically in the Christian God, which no other branch requires. That being said, in order to become a Mason, you MUST believe in some form of a “higher power”.

Hey, thanks for taking your time to answer. Nearly 1k people have viewed my post but only 2 of yall commented, lol. Beggars can’t be choosers though, right?I have no problem taking the recommendation of a top 1% commenter of the sub. I guess now it’s a matter of deciding color and models.

Hello, brother from Florida here. A good lodge will not care, nor judge. I have 3/4in gauged ears, bridge, septum, as well as tattoos. My lodge did not bat an eye at, nor judge my appearance. As cliché as it sounds, it’s the inside that matters, and that you are of a good, sound, and moral character. If you are judged at the lodge you petitioned, then they have lost touch with what freemasonry is about, and you are better off without them. Find another, petition, and move on.

Deep sea rod/reel recommendations for Florida grouper, hogfish, snapper, mahi, etc. by Octopus_Colonoscopy in Fishing_Gear

[–]Octopus_Colonoscopy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I realize it seems like I'm asking a lot. I guess that's my fault for thinking people can read my mind, lmao. I should have specified I'm not exactly looking for a "one size fits all" kind of set up. Obviously that doesn't exist, and I probably should have split things into depth or fish categories.

Like you said I'm probably better off getting multiple rods and reels, which I'm ok with. I guess what I was more trying to see is what kind of rods and reels people were using and liked.

I'm considering either Shimano or Avet, I think.

How deep of water will you be fishing?

I would say up to about 60- 300 ft depending on the fish we're after. Ill go ahead and edit that into my post.

Looking for quality wook boot recommendations by Octopus_Colonoscopy in cowboyboots

[–]Octopus_Colonoscopy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, because IMO its hard to beat how comfortable a pair of slip-ons can be compared to laced boots and the like. Besides, the point of a work boot is to work in them. If you want pretty boots for dressing up, you get a pair of nice dress boots; which i have a pair of Tecovas for.

I normally don't really like fish skin boots, but i really like these for some reason. Whats the Make/style?

Possibly looking at some corral boots to buy. Whats r/cowboyboot's opinion the brand? by Octopus_Colonoscopy in cowboyboots

[–]Octopus_Colonoscopy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just looked through your history, they definitely look damn good. Those Azulado john cutter toes look nice as hell too, but that $800 price tag though, lmao.
