The Blue Lodge - View Single Post - How many members show up at most meetings?

Here in Georgia, maybe 10-15% of membership comes to lodge meetings regularly at the lodges I've attended.

Informal chats I've had with many members outside of the lodge all indicate the same reasons they don't attend:

1. They get nothing out of it. The meetings are unilluminating and boring.
2. They have or had a personal quarrel with another member of their lodge.

Interestingly, almost all the Masons I've met who don't attend lodge continue to pay their dues so they can "belong."
