BAR IN NASHVILLE USING NAPKINS WITH MASONIC HANDSHAKES

There is a bar in Nashville, Tn that is using these napkins just because they thought it would be cool. My lodge brother came home and just handed one to me and said look at this, when I asked where he got it from he proceeds to tell me that he was at Bastion which is a bar in Nashville. He asked his server why they were using them and his reply was" because the owner thought that it would be cool, it is some kind of secret Masonic handshake" so my lodge brother advised that it was not cool and that it would probably be a good idea to stop using them. What are your thoughts on this?

That's frustrating, but what can ya do? If you say something to the manager, he may be cool about it and remove them, but then again, he may become an a-hole about it and like the attention it gained and put even more things. Brag about how he pushed the Masons' buttons etc. It's his restaurant and technically(unfortunately) he has the right to do it. I'd just not go and urge fellow masons to avoid that place. I've seen links on here that have this stuff. Posted by 'masons'. That's more frustrating than even this.

That crossed my mind too.... :confused:

I agree, but nothing has been disclosed from my world.....

You can't control people, even when the law and/or right is on your side.... we've got bigger problems than a bar serviette and I would not waste any energy on it...

My initial thoughts on seeing the images; the food looked good :D

Previous comments are right IMHO. You can find these things in books and on the internet. What can you do?

You can stop the flow with yourself. I know much is published but I don't post it and say, "Look!"

The more you draw attention to a thing, the more attention it gets. Unless you're looking for trouble, why would you put on a masonic police uniform and try to educate the profane on things they have no clue about and should not have a clue about. Seriously! The use of any picture on a napkin is no business of ours if it is outside our fraternity.

Just asked to see what others thought about it but you all are overly sensitive about things on here lol take things overboard

My first thought is the person who said "hey i want that on my napkins" might be an ok guy. Regardless of what the thought pattern was they found something interesting and that to me is interesting.
