Also, please explain why your Grand Lodge finds it necessary to lie about its own history? Does it have something to hide? I certainly believe it does. |
Antoninus9,
I think it is pretty well known among most masons that there are different flavors of Masonry, some recgonize each other and some don't, if anyone reading this is new to the craft and don't understand this, you should before continuing to join.
A9 can you elaborate on who does, if anyone, have true authority to recgonize who is a mason and who is not? A little history lesson, from your perspective, might help to clear up the issue.
Anyone with half a brain understands that history is written by the victor and should always be looked upon that way.
Let's try not to make the tone of our messages personal in nature, as it causes walls to be thrown up immediately by the other person. The objective here is to knock down the walls of mistrust and descention and discuss the topics at hand.
