Re: The Church and Freemasonry
Interesting! Thanks for taking the time to flesh that out a bit. I’m getting 404 errors on your non-Amazon links, but I don’t know if that’s on my end or not. - Doc No worries at all! As for the links, I input them incorrectly (still getting used to phpBB). As of right now (but not earlier when I p...

Re: The Church and Freemasonry
When and how do you believe Masonry began? This depends if you are referring to Operative stonemason guilds (literal builders of cathedrals, castles, etc. from which Speculative Masonry originated) or to Speculative Masonry (the philosophical Fraternity of which I am a part). Operative Masonry I be...

Re: The Church and Freemasonry
Was free masonry originally designed to keep trade secrets within a workers’ cooperative, hence the oaths and penalties? - Doc Hi Doc. Great question. For context and clarity, I want to make a distinction between two different groups: Operative Masons (those who actually built cathedrals, castles, ...

The Church and Freemasonry
Hello there! Doctor Scratch encouraged me to make this post here, so here I am. I am a faithful member of the Church. I am also a Freemason.

Re: Intro
Welcome, Latterdaytemplar! Thank you! I would encourage you to post in the Terrestrial Forum. Building off what Dr. Shades has been asking you--I would imagine that there are quite a few folks here who be interested to hear your views on the relationship between Masonry and Mormonism. I may well im...

Re: Does Learning A New Language As A Missionary Ever Alter One’s Accent For The Rest Of Their Life?
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing happening to a missionary?

Re: Intro
How about this: What's the point of Freemasonry? From this layman's perspective, it looks like playing dress-up with a bunch of old men.
