Wow! Upper chamber sounds like the most bang for your buck. :)

I guess the degree fees at my lodge really are too low.

If they buy into that, I have a Nigerian uncle they should meet.

Some serious idiocy spam right there though.

I don't know if I have shared this before on the site yet but the WM at the lodge I am joining was talking to a new possible member about joining. He said he was a MM and had filled all positions within the lodge. The WM asked where he sat and he was told that it's was an online lodge and that he paid $30.000 and progressed through each seat in the lodge over 12 months.

I would have loved to seen the look on his face when the WM informed him of what his $30,000 MM was worth.

WOW! Amazing that someone would pay that. If he got an email like I did and didn't know real Masonry he might have.

The Phylaxis Society's Commission on Bogus Masonry continues its work in tracking these fraudulent organizations and notifying Grand Lodges of the jurisdictions where they exist. It is up to those GL's to decide a course of action, or inaction.


Hon. Br. Joseph Walkes, founder and first president of The Phylaxis Society realized the detrimental effect these fake organizations had on the public perception of Prince Hall Freemasonry specifically and Freemasonry in general.


In my personal opinion, many of these BOGUS organizations came about due to violation of the EA obligation and personal vanity did the rest (and has) for the last 150+ years.


Many of these fraudulent organizations were started by persons who had originally been members of legitimate lodges but left over personal disagreements with whomever the disagreements were with, or because of simple greed through using their knowledge of masonic ritual to profit for personal gain as some facts will show.

The only one I found for Kentucky I am guessing is long defunct as it's last annual report was in 1974. Good site to check back on from time to time.
