Of the five statements/paragraphs in your comment, 4 of them were, quite simply, untrue. Remember your Oath and Obligation as a Brother! Quit mindlessly repeating what you stumble across on the internet. Read your local paper, not to confirm what you already think you know, but to get facts and information that perhaps, don't confirm your beliefs. Read a Masonic book, or a Bible. Quiet yourself. Talk to a friend that you might not agree with 100%. Grow as a Freemason. That's the only advice I can give you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946030282830075670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-56046802864757217452021-01-13T15:50:51.425-05:002021-01-13T15:50:51.425-05:00If you are a brother, I strongly encourage you to ...If you are a brother, I strongly encourage you to be truthful and not spread lies. The attack on the US Capitol was well documented by many sources. I watched the events unfold on live video feeds, Twitter and YouTube live streams, and non-stop updates with photographs and videos on the scene. In the following days, I watched four different video angles from four different smart phones of that terrorist who was shot trying to walk through that window, with the videos synchronized. This is the internet and the smart phone era. We no longer have to rely on word-of-mouth reporting after the events, we can literally see news as it happens on our phones and computers.Michael R.http://nmmasons.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-18643779170874123882021-01-13T07:17:09.436-05:002021-01-13T07:17:09.436-05:00There is not a civil war coming, its already here ...There is not a civil war coming, its already here and some people have and will continue to draw their lines in the sand.<br /><br />I'll make one comment that those who continue to make these overtly political statements fail to recognize, it is this:<br /><br />For 5 months Domestic Terrorists BLM/Antifa attempted to take-over the capital building and lay it under siege for 70 days, no charges were pressed in their attempts, conspirators which included sitting Senators and Representatives raised funds for their bail, to include Kamala Harris, left-wing media, Journalists, Politicians, and Masons encouraged it, Biden on the debate stage refused to even say it. And they still failed.<br /><br />About 30 unorganized people from the other-side accomplished it in 20 minutes.<br /><br />Before another official statement is put out, maybe they should stop and think about that and meditate on it and whether or not their statements are helping or hurting.abonifi1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10934930297449748299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-30322658067400812032021-01-12T16:48:57.819-05:002021-01-12T16:48:57.819-05:00

I don't recall any charges or lectures telling us to endorse genocide. The nazis even murdered Freemasons. But this is the hill that some want to die on? Some brothers are willing to throw away brotherly love and years of fraternal improvement just because someone said "nazis are bad"? I just don't get it.Michael R.http://nmmasons.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-74204328959865443182021-01-12T08:50:50.251-05:002021-01-12T08:50:50.251-05:00This is again a political statement,which proves t...This is again a political statement,which proves that the difference between "regular" and "liberal" freemasonry is<br />beginning to fade. de Fluphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826389407369296477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-81555831529782993392021-01-12T06:41:33.497-05:002021-01-12T06:41:33.497-05:00"You are entitled to your own opinions, but n..."You are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts."<br /><br />We may be seeing the genius of Freemasonry at work. <br /><br />Grand Masters in Freemasonry (unlike some similar organizations outside of Freemasonry) are not figureheads or symbolic. <br /><br />GRAND MASTERS IN FREEMASONRY ARE ACTUAL RULERS. They are tasked with the burden to protect, defend, aid, and rule, the entire Craft.<br /><br />Of course, being rulers, a sitting Grand Master has every right to determine if certain organizations (and the men belonging to them) outside of the Craft would be harmful to it. <br /><br />Not all men are fit to be Freemasons, and not all Masons are fit to be Grand Masters. <br /><br />Men require direction and the Craft requires its Grand Masters.
