But you have trashed the masculine Masons so much that I now see you as a deluded menace.<br /><br />You also ripped off Ormus Lodge's talisman and put it on one of your bogus sites. I knew something was fishy when you kept asking about Ormus Lodge on my Facebook page so I did some checking and found where you ripped off their Logo. So you are not only a liar, but a thief as well. It's a good thing you are not a real Mason as you would be a disgrace to the Craft.<br />http://lodgeptah.yolasite.com/rite-of-memphis.php<br />Here is the original on the Ormus Lodge site:<br />http://www.lightofthegnosis.org/ormus.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-54277192615375112232010-12-25T18:18:40.586-05:002010-12-25T18:18:40.586-05:00I have never stated that the Nation has had 1000 m...I have never stated that the Nation has had 1000 members, but the paranoid delusions of some are far more entertaining than the truth.<br /><br />BTW: I haven't sent a friend request on FB in over a year.

When I looked at the number of friends he had on Facebook at was the same number he quoted. So it seems he sees his FB friends as members of his bogus Masonic order. He also included a link to has recent blog, in which he trashed the masculine Masons. I am a Co-Mason in LDH and my husband and several of our friends are masculine Masons. I was truly offended by the things he said about mainstream, masculine Masons and decided to write a blog about him but you beat me to it and did a much better job. <br /><br />I linked it to my FB page.

The Homepage doe not exist, but it is reserved.<br /><br />There is defintly no Lodge with that name working in Dortmund or in Germany, under which jurisdiction ever.<br /><br /><br /><br />The simple reason is "Morganroete" is not even a german word. The correct Word would be "Morgenröte" it describes the morning light just before the sunrise.<br /><br />And of Course a Lodge in Germany would call itself Loge insted of Lodge(exept ACGL Lodges) <br /><br />There used to be a Lodge called "Morgenröte" in Frankfurt about 1830. It was one of the first -if not the first lodge in Germany which accepted Jews. Therefore "Morgenröte" is a name that is dear for us.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this to light.<br /><br />PS:What happend to Brads Websites, a few of them seem to have problems.....<br />RolfRolf Keilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869063470744525894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-22151648465652517532010-07-26T11:13:09.768-04:002010-07-26T11:13:09.768-04:00Bro. Chris,

I can definitely say that websites like the 1613 and other non-recognized organizations made the research process difficult. Luckily, I found resources like Masonic forums and Masonicinfo that showed me the real/not-so-real sides of Masonry. Only being a Mason for a year, I'm doing my best to "walk and act as such", and am acknowledging the challenge of it. Seeing other Masons interact in this manner, it's good to know that it isn't easy to come by for everyone.<br /><br />Anyway, I really appreciate your passion and your sense of humor. Thanks for all the great info.<br /><br />Bro.

When I found out that he created a bogus resurrection of <i>Loge Liberté chérie</i>, I was pretty deeply offended. I've been to his 1613 Nation website, and looked at the sock-puppet lodge websites linked to it, and it disgusts me. Thanks for warning the Masonic community about this.47th Problem of Euclidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764497527575454299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-4503080674107095692010-07-24T13:49:01.596-04:002010-07-24T13:49:01.596-04:00Did some more digging and added this to the articl...Did some more digging and added this to the article: Cofield's international buddy, Frank G.
