Had a second as JW last night.
Painful learning the working tools.
And why is it you can learn it off by heart and recite it perfectly while sitting on the bog but as soon as you do it in the temple you get brain freeze?

After 33 years in the Craft, I can predict that you will get better at but it won't get any easier.
Three things you have to do: Practice, Practice and Practice.
You should take comfort from knowing that everybody there wants you to do well.

Was my last LOI before being installed as WM next Wednesday. I made a right hash of installing the officers. There goes my life for the next 5 days, but I have always found that I perform better after a kick up the ass at LOI.
The pressure is also amplified by the fact that my dad is installing me.
Last thing, any good/nice little masonic anecdotes anyone can offer for my festive board speech?
Cheers

Interesting reading but I haven't got a fking clue about the acronyms and stuff you're all talking about! For a lay-person, why is it hard work? I understand my profession (engineers) are traditionally found in masonic circles, but I've not got a clue what you do. Is it a religious organisation? Is it actually secret? If you see someone from your meetings in the street, are you allowed to acknowledge that you're both masons?
(Genuine questions btw, I've not got much of a clue about it - surprised so many people from on here are a part of it!)
