I guarantee movies like National Treasure, that generate a veil of secrecy, generate far more interest than pulling back the veil.

I would be screaming and hollering about this to Grand Lodge if they tried something like this. I'm only just about to enter my FC, but I'm one who has totally bought into the nobility of the Craft, the value of my work, and trying to live up to a Mason's ideals. <br /><br />How insulting is this move to all the MM's who spent years treating Masonry with respect and reverence, who've held it as something special to them in their lives? And now it's entrusted to a PR firm? One that, apparently, is pretty clueless? I don't know about the English lodges, but some of the old MM's in my lodge (Canyon 730) would be livid if Texas Grand Lodge tried to pull something like this. And I hope our English brethren will stand up for themselves respectively.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-21042583607326303212010-06-25T20:44:30.002-04:002010-06-25T20:44:30.002-04:00I think they need to redo the bidding process.
