Our church warns against Masonry. We have flyers right as people come in advising them to devote their time to church activities rather than Masonry.

But you pride bias ... and isn't this a pride along with avarice ... something with certain bias leaves you with myopic sense of observational science ... not able to see fa-th-ere ... but say you do ... twinge of the BS (Black Swan)? Tosses out a Shadow ...

On Masons...are they connected to the Shriners? (The Grand Poohbahs, as my mom used to say. Flintstones reference, I think.)

Ba is an ancient word for soul ... and po' well that's self-evident if an individual can observe themselves and draw out the inner parts ... connection of introversion and extroversion?

Many entitled wouldn't go that fa' eh? No stretch and creep to them like those glacier items ... Ice M'N? That'd be kohl ...

It would. Your sort of denomination tends to be frightened of an inordinate number of things, including your own natures.

It doesn't sound like you'd be too enthusiastic to go back, @Giancarlo.

I'm mainly worried about finding a congregation that suits my wife's expectations so she'd go back to church. As I wrote in some other thread before, I really like my current congregation but she hates it because she thinks all the old women there are more interested in gossip and showing off (not entirely false) while I focus on the Service itself.

Also, I've been thinking of how my faith has been transformed during the last year. First, I went back to the church to regularize membership so we could get married. After, I started believing again, pursuing personal salvation and aesthetic satisfaction. Now, I'm more worried about seeking true mission and service and I feel my current congregation is not being able to provide it, in spite of the beautiful Service and deep sermons.

I might go back a few more times and check if the Anglican congregation is the right place for us at this point..

Not frightened Bette, concerned. What we offer is what we consider to be wisdom on how to live life well. The kingdom is at hand Bette. Masonry can wait.

It is, yes. Fred and Barney were part of a Shriners-type organization and it was basically making fun of the whole thing.

I don't think the Masons and Shriners are related. The Masons (Freemasons) are actually quite old. Mozart was one and incorporated Masonic imagery into The Magic Flute. There was a religious, or at least ritual, element to the Masons at one time but I'm not sure how much of that remains in the modern Masons as I am not one myself.
 
Today the sermon was about devotion - not as in saying devotionals - but the commitment to the steady practice of following Jesus to become more like him. He talked about our "lizard brains" and our spiritual consciousness - or the battle between what we want to do impulsively, and what our hearts and conscience are telling us. Like "don't fight, don't flee", overcome the tendency to evil by doing good, and by steady practice, getting good at at.

Some lizard brains are more like worms ... all packed into a bony (bonnie?) wardrobe ... thus the bone dance ... in a hank of Eire ...

Funnily enough, the dichotomy of becoming worms (or worm food), and the carrying on of consciousness - of which science does not fully understand - were part of the discussion too. Christ consciousness, one could say.

@Luce NDs You have often remarked that Love is nothing. Today my pastor said Evil is "nothing".

Love is an icon of total lack of something ... such an excess can produce a great schism ... always carry a little light wisdom ... something to take along with you.

Going on with a beam for a torch or candle in the wind (fragile) may provide a path in a dangerous veil ... some Musical genius wrote a song that refers to Normal Genes ... nothing of that exists given the mutants ...

Tis like a beam or rafter given by the carpenter ... to span the gap ... close the hole in the roof ... protect you from the san man ... the fiddler ... unlikely given the tremendous uncertainty ... imposed by those hard cases shot through dark space ... fundamentally blown!

I go for the interim ... the medium ... but either extreme says: you're with us or against ... thus the choice for coming forth in the midst ... filling the a' gap eh ... drives the extremists into furies ... flurries and flaky states ... ever encountered one? Tis the way to avoid extreme corruptions ... drift off ... this is abstract ...

When sucked in go with some clues ... kind of like succubus and the other sect has incubus ... a nighttime thing ... psychic orientation?

I'm told orienting is evil ... thus much chaos ...

It was an Augustinian concept he was talking about.

I don't think complete love means anything good is missing.

Its just in the midst of complete loss ... a dark peculiar state ... but if a small light was included ... wouldn't that be something?

Sort of like a spark at the end of a hostile tunnel ...

I get a Star Trex image ... Racks all T'd off ... harmonic frames generating measures ... MU sic ... in the midst of it you know nothing ... the bite of passion can leave you bruised ...

Many have been there ... tis a' Job ... Haji ... second order ... more demanded if Dunn good ... however flippant and ephemeral ... fey? Ide'll pas ...

Like Masons and Shriners ... differing only in degrees ... some are bit bad ... yet some really appreciate the bite ... almost literary as compared to the literals ... not the same kind of bite ... compare it to Touthe de Danann ... Danus for short or rendered ... a Celtic Prayer about being gone before you know it ...

Reminds me of the harmonis hidden in the Cellist of Sarajevo ... myth within the Stoe Raes ... thus the cross connection of all mythologies --- the webmaster Charlotte? Burn't oute ... by a sudden sense of butterflies?

Reason is thus smeared on the flat-out ... the female side hates talk about it as they don't understand undertakings of the sort ... Mali fi sense ...
