I am new, so if I mis-stepped and made a mistake by revealing the way I voted I apologize and will remember that from now on. I assumed since the vote was done in the open ( in lodge) and not by secret ballot, I could talk about it.
Please don't get me wrong, I feel for the brother who had trouble with his lesson and do not mean to sound like I am putting him down. Please enlighten me to the proper rules of acceptance of a lesson and the "traditional" criteria for being accepted as a freemason and passed to Master Mason.?
