as brutal as it seems, many here prove that the PH organization has an entirely different set of standards.... and there is an expectation a Mason will come to the table with a well researched arguement before slandering someone he wants to call Brother....
So given all that, why would ANY ONE want people who do what you have done here in thier organization??????
Looks to me like you are sore someone will not give you what you have not earned..... |
I earned all my Masonic Degrees ALL except the thirty-third degree.
I am WELL VERSED IN Masonry so calling me an idiot doesn't sound to me as if you have had a real dose of true Masonry.

This we agree upon.
My Lodge does not take a man and make him a MM is 6 to 8 weeks either you are an EA at least 6-8 months possibly a year. Our candidates go through a very lengthy period of learning from degree to degree. Most MSM Lodges make MM's far too quick.
I'll stack my Lodge against any lodge in the MSM anytime.
