Any Freemasons on this forum..?

I am...for 21 years, we practice the so called scandinavian system. All the Scandinavian states + Iceland have independent Orders. The scandinavian Orders are christian Orders and differs from the anglo-american system in that way..

However, there are lots of similarities and many visit for instance the Order in London..

I was raised in 1979. Have been inactive for a long time but a past master skeet shooter has got me going again. My home lodge is in Montana.

I’m a member of Fellowship Lodge #345 in Joplin, MO and I’m the director of the 29th degree of the Scottish Rite in the Valley of Joplin. I’m also a member of the York Rite as well as the Shrine Trust in Springfield, MO. Great organizations and philanthropy!!

My father is, but I am not - much to his disappointment. He was very active up to about 2 years ago. He’s KYCH.

I was, but when I perceived strong divergence from social conduct within my Lodge, I left. Could have transferred to another, but so disappointed at the time ... Sadly, the craft has lost its call here. I try to follow its, and Christianity's teachings in my conduct since. One way, is that I never write under a nom-de-plume, if I can't acknowledge what I write, or say then it does not get published.

Geoff, I write under a pseudonym per some safety concerns. On another outdoors forum that was all but totally unmoderated, three regular posters were a bit scary. That forum eventually went belly up (surprise!) and I moved on to a Montana based elk hunting forum. Two of those clowns stalked me over there but the moderator made quick work of them. I do post pictures of myself and I usually (but not always) respond to private messages with my real name.

I understand why some folks post photos with faces blurred or blacked out. Employers or classmate animal lovers can cause problems for hunters. I kept some trophies and hunting/fishing related stuff in my office when I worked for the US National Park Service and I caught some flack for it. Few supervisors in that agency appreciate the management value of hunting. Oh well. Did it cost me my job? Probably not. My lack of incompetence usually sealed my doom with that outfit. The cream doesn't float to the top in USNPS. More like the stuff in the toilet bowl.
