I think what we are running into are issues of how things are handled diffrently at diffrent Lodges. At Bro. JBD's Lodge the SD reports to the SW and one of the duties is make sure every single member is vouched for, examined, or produces some form of ID IAW Art. 381. Once that is done he will sit in Lodge and let the SW know. Now obviously EVERY member in that Lodge has the ability to not be satisfied. And the SW would then purge the Lodge.
This is a good thing though and I REALLY can't figure out why this is such a big issue. I know this is one thing I have been trying to do at Lake Worth, is to get the officers ACTUAL responsibilities instead of it all falling on the Master and Secretary. As JBD and Tom both said, if everyone does their job then less problems occur. Sad thing here is because of EGOS (weaker side of man) we can't have a debatable discussion on the forum because we have to close out the threads.
