I am from a bogus lodge in the process of being healed which is great! Once everything is finalize, I will let you guys know and thanks for all the information I needed! Quick question: I am ok with being apart of a old lodge, I think old lodges can teach you a lot, anyway, I am 23 years old and I have volunteered with pha lodges and some seem stubborn, some seem judgemental and the other ones have some personal things going on with each other which I wont be addressing on here. I haven't volunteered with every lodged, that just a few lodges. I know for a fact I am the future of masonry because I started young and I dont think they will compromise with my ideas for community service and may not have the mindset to change things for the best. By the way not change for some outrageous, but I really care for helping people, things like the ronald mc donald house is ok but its a new era and plenty areas I know we can help without even being financially stable, so it wont require a lot of money. I have 8 men who is going through the healing process with me from my bogus lodge and I read on phoenix masonry or something like that, they said james was given a UD because it was so many of them coming from another lodge. That was a bunch of years ago but I was wondering could GA grandmaster atleast consider giving us a UD and a chance and if we screw up he can terminate it. Every one who is getting healed with me is 21-32, and I dont think yall understand the tension we get because of our age. We are well educated on masonry even though we wasnt properly educated due to clandestine circumstances, but we just want a chance to show our generation can do some bright things and feel comfortable doing so.. We dont mind joining a established lodge already we just feel like our age and appearance may cause issues in a lodge. When I say appearance, I mean like some of us have tattos (not nothing crazy), a few do wear skinny jeans (not too skinny/and they never sag their pants), but we all know how to handle business and be professional. Like I said its a new generation and I feel as long as we we're up right men we shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable. Our bogus never judged any of us from what Ive seen but bogus is bogus, and I dont pay fees and commit to something thats fake!
