I went thru the 3 degrees in 3 months. IMHO the brothers that go thru the ONE DAY
tend to lose some of the meaning and its their loss but as one member said "we all are
brothers what ever path we took to get here"

i wished to go through the full thing but work stopped that and i couldnt just quit, id feel weak to quit trying to be in such a great cause...

i do see the meaning tho ;D

I do feel that a person learns and understands more when they have to individually study and learn the three degrees.

i wish i could have done it but i am now a brother and I feel i can make that up with my dedication to masonry

Absolutly Shawn, With Masonry you only get out of it what you put into it. There are a lot of morales in Masonry to learn if you look at the deeper meanings of the rituals. Ask and ye shall find out!

An old chinese proverb says "A man who asks a question is a fool for 3 minutes but a man who does not ask a question is a fool for the rest of his life!"

[color=Green][b]The only fear I have about one day classes is the fact that you dont have a lot of time to let everything sink in and to reflect on what has just occured.

One question....


Why does the one day class, man to mason, exist?

Yes, I would like to know the full meaning why and not just the speculative reasons.

I can understand multiple candidates going through each degree separatly because of lack of lodge meetings or time but one degree at a time with mentoring after.
To go through all 3 degrees in one day loses the personal touch, in my opinion anyway.

Another quote from a well known Bro!
"We need more Masonry in men, not more men in Masonry"

Was that one of Bro Dafoes?
