Great! ... And very True! Again Brothers with the Title but lacking the understanding & Masonic knowledge to teach/Coach/lead new Members. ... The Blind leading The Blind. Masonic Education is needed in the Lodge, but few Master Masons have done the work & research to develop their Masonic Knowledge the basics of the ritual. it is in the 2nd part of the MM Degree, where the Candidate is warned that he may Never become a Master Mason and then asked to submit to being hoodwinked again ........... Thus the failure to expand one's Masonic knowledge & complete The Temple. |

They wanted the secrets of the Master Mason, more specifically, “The Master’s Word”. Brother: He said that they would have to wait until the Temple was completed before they would to receive it. Brother: Of course not. That’s the whole reason for them attacking him. Brother: They didn’t want to wait to complete the Temple. They wanted to have what they wanted immediately; before the Temple was completed. Brother: Yes. It was to test whether someone was able to delay getting something so that they would get it and an additional reward for waiting. Brother: Those who delayed gratification were found to be rewarded better in life than those who would not. Coach: What would you say where the results of the Masonic Marshmallow Test?
