I just dont want to see anyone get cheated out of the "Masonic" experience.
I worked way too hard , studying, memorizing, giving back, waiting periods, ect to give someone who just walked in paid and got raised respect. Respect for what? Not having enough time?
Thats laziness. Excuse to be made a MM and not do the work. We yell guys who come to our lodge "if you cant put in the time then masonry is not for you"
And i will bet my bottom dollar guys who did a one day class can not proficiently even read the coded books to even follow along none the less sit in a chair.
Its not Un Masonic to keep our roots of dedication and edict in our heart and in violet.
Im an upright man and mason. I put in my time and sweat (literally) to keep the traditions the best i could as i went through.
Im only talking about MASONRY (blue lodge) .
We had a HIGH RANKING person join, get initiated and he was under the suspicion that since he had no time and was a high ranking person that we would need him and pass him through i guess a one day or under the radar. Great guy great person, ton of connections but masonry was not for him nor was he for our lodge.
