He may feel he has no recourse other than filing charges of unmasonic conduct against MWGM Smith and trying him for his many crimes. It will be for the good of the fraternity, of course.<br /><br />Remember brothers, Billy Joe loves you! If my word is not good enough, check with the members of Green Grove #107 in Conway Arkansas.

From everything we've seen coming out of their Grand Lodge though, I can't say I'm surprised. It probably won't be long before the brothers themselves in Arkansas force a change - either by calling for a special meeting of the grand lodge or through the courts.Glenn Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861647415768608948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-86894833168838466912016-11-03T00:16:00.557-04:002016-11-03T00:16:00.557-04:00A good example of maintaining integrity and standa...A good example of maintaining integrity and standards that other grand masters and grand lodges should heed.

I have a huge amount of respect for our grand master (he goes by "Ridge"), and as well as the last 2 recent GMs (ive only been a mason since 2014, so i dont want it to be taken the others werent as great). In fact last years GM is a member of my lodge (as well as several others). They all represent with great integrity masonry in oklahoma (and i say that as someone speaking anonomously with no ambition but to be a good member of my lodge... Im not trying to kiss anyone's butt to get a spot in the good ol boy system). But unfortunately i feel for the brothers of arkansas who have been cut off from masonic fellowship through no fault of their own. In the end, may brotherly love prevail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
