blackcab Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 A post contravening our Community Standards has been removed. This is a very well-meaning topic. If you do not have anything positive to say then please move on. For those who might enjoy the company of like-minded men, many of who will have been in Thailand for some years then do consider attending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just another club like any other club whether it’s a church political bar-stool or a boring yammering club, just a club to fill in and pass the time with chit-chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcheech Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Freemasonry opens doors. I mean, um, I can get a bit on edge, but…but if I was a mason, I’d just sit at the back and not get in anyone’s way. I nearly got in at Nong Hoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterrabbit Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 The purpose of Freemasonry is to make good men better. It cannot change the world, only the men in it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not secret, anyone can turn up at Grand Lodge in London and take a tour. Its only that there are parts of Masonry that are confidential and for members only just like any other organization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 A friend of mine stated he was an ex Mason, to which I replied there is no such thing as an ex Mason. You're either a Mason, or a bad Mason...... He chuckled and agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prubangboy Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Love the symbology. In Wash. DC, it's everywhere. As in all things, Black free masonry has the more compelling iconography. Avant Jazz God Sun Ra's album covers showcase it well, if anyone wants a quick, eye-popping Google Image surf. Jazz has a lot of freemasonry running through its history: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jul/02/secret-jazz-freemason-history-duke-ellington-sun-ra I'm not a follower, but post your next meeting here and I'll try to come.

Alla Alisa Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hi Peter, I am a freemason from Ancient and primitive Rite of Memphis and Misraim. I stay in Chiang Mai for 1 year and would like to contact local freemasons. I know that here only men are allowed to participate in the works, so I want just to get in touch for informal meeting. Unfortunately I missed the 9th December meeting, I found you just now. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
