How have you been asked if you are a Mason. Thread starter Michigan Mason Start date Nov 9, Michigan Mason New Member. I have had Brother Masons aproach and say " I see you are also a travling man" I see you have been to the East.

From whence did you get it" I did not know how to answer this one but it is replyed with " I recieved it while lying amongst the rubble of King Solomans Temple" Just wondering what others have been asked because some are interesting.
I had a Brother begin to tell me a story about his grandmother and her little dog. Ashlar Masonic Mafia. I have heard or been asked some of the above questions posted.
Traveling man is the one I have heard the most. I have heard others but never gave them much thought as I tend to let them go in one ear and out the other. I have heard some that was a little to on the nose and does not need to be said in public and I have kept on walking as if I never heard the person who said them to me. May sound rude of me , but some Brothers need to keep in mind that we are in a public setting amongst non-Masons.
I have long since And when I say "yell" , I mean he yelled it! I cringed and the wife asked if he was talking to me? I said no , must be someone else , just keep on walking. Custer Masonic Traveler. I have heard a lot of the same ones you have mentioned, like you Ashlar the traveling man is the most common. I did have a brother ask me if I had been beaten by three bad men, that lead into an interesting talk with him.
Traveling man has got to be the I believe it has several of those type questions I have a few Brothers that call me Hiram everytime they see me I get "seasoned" Brothers that will walk by me and give me a nod I guess they see the ring on my hand and figure not many wear a ring on the right hand??? LOL , "I had been beaten by three bad men" now I have never heard that one before!
I like Unless I am already talking to someone, I wouldnt notice if someone asked me a question on the sly HarrisonK New Member. Custer said:.

Brother Liberty Service Officer. May i assume as someone who is not a mason that the term "mother" and "grandmother" is not really referring to ones mom or grandma but rather a hidden way of asking what lodge they Each lodge having their own identification number?
I personally would love to join the Free masons but first would like to learn more about it, i know a mason in my area only one though but never get around to seeing or hearing from him often enough to ask. My other reason for not showing an enhanced interest is because i plan on serving a 2 year LDS mission in the next couple months.
It being 2 years long probably wouldn't settle to well in ways. I do however plan on investigating much further and arduously okay, maybe not that hard but you get my point the masons. Masonic Light.

Every Lodge has a name and number. The Lodge chooses its own name; its number is assigned by the Grand Lodge. For example, Lodge No. Is there any masonic Vicars in London?
Been interested in seeing what the masons are about. If any Mason is in the Denver area and would like to sponser me Unfortunately masonic numbers are dwindling. From a high of nearly 4 million in the US in the s, the number is down to around 1. The problem is that the baby boomers were busy with families and work, and didn't really have time or interest in masonry.
Then came the 'ME' generations of the 60s, 70s, and 80s that were concerned with wealth and self-gratification. That time period was hard for a lot of charities and community service groups. With the government going farther and farther in debt, and the likelihood that my generation will never collect social security or medicare, a lot of people have turned back toward service groups to help provide the 'safety net' for the underprivileged.
Unfortunately, masonry does not and will not recruit because our fundamental belief is that a man needs to come of his own choice.
It hurts us in a way because we are not as visible in the communities any more and it's hard when you need volunteers but have to wait on them to show up. I think it's getting better though. Society is becoming more in tune with helping others and hopefully more service organizations will gain members. I think all of us masons would be happy if folks joined 'any' service organization to help others. It doesn't have to be masonry, but we would love to have anyone that is interested.
The important thing is that our world is hurting and we can't count on 'somebody else' to take care of us anymore. We need to love each other, comfort those who need it and make sure that the underprivileged know somebody cares about them and wants to help.
