It would be nice to read some positive news. I just hate reading about the uneducated non-mason trashing our Fraternity. I do appreciate the brothers revealing these ignorant misguided fools. The ones who bash our great Fraternity will never be at the making of a Mason. So how about some good stories of people who have talked highly about us.
I take the discussion of the problems of Freemasonry to be a positive thing. These Brothers have enough desire to get on here and try and hash out the problems they are having. All though the majority of the growth may be rooted in somewones rant usaully cooler heads prevail here and a solution presents itself.
Granted the negativity can seem to take over when a hot button issue comes up and in our case lately that seems to be all the discussion is around "hot button" topics but this is a necessary means to an end. With all that here I would like to share something positive not sure if this is rumor or true but got the info from a good source.
A man that was already a MM presented his blood brothers petition for Lodge and on this paticular night some bad guys in Lodge were feeling praticularly frisky and decided that the 2 petitoners that night where not getting in, end result after alot of shannagins was this MM had to watch his Brother be black balled. This MM stuck it out although most men would have left with their blood brother. Time passed and the MM took his blood brother who was black balled to another lodge and was voted in. They are both members there now with many other family members who they initiated and are also officers to boot. Reflecting back on the whole sitiuation I can now see God's wisdom and plan. That vile, prejudice act that took place the night of the black balling was all part of a master plan to lead these 2 brothers and many members of their family to greener pastures. Reminds me that with time, patiences and perserverance we amy overcome all things.
