Bro:. Brown

There're many things in the Lodge that are not withing the 'likes' of many of us. I was made a Mason and just a month afterwards I was already thinking in stepping out: why? Because it literally disgusts me the nationalistic approach of Masonry in the US. Out-of-the-lodge everyone should be free to determine his fate or creed but with-in the lodge Jesus and the American Flag are just terms of bigotry and anti-Masonic; this is not 'my' oppinion this is History's; if you go to the History of Freemasonry you shall see for yourself what I mean: American Masonry had done something that most of previous Masons would see as dangerous and anti-masonic, and this is so because Masonry is UNIVERSAL and not a localism; We are all ONE family under ONE mistery and flags and pledges are not part of it.
