Greetings Brothers. I have a problem and am seeking advice. I'm a master mason from arkansas. I don't want to day too much as electronic communications pertaining to Masonry or the GL is now grounds for punitive action but I don't know where to turn. I had/have problems with the direction and unmasonic actions of the GL. I spoke up about it and was told that the GL would put pressure in lodges with dissenters and even threatened to pull charters. So I dimitted from my lodge so they would not be punished as I asked for explanations from the GL. Another brother dimitted with me for the same reason and to show our seriousness about the issues. Well no response or reply ever came from GL and I am told things have gotten worse. I have even been told that the GL us preventing brothers from joining lodges outside if arkansas because people were leaving in droves. The problem is it has been a couple years and I see things not changing. The brothers at my lodge ask me to join them again but as GL is a money minded organization putting themselves far above all others I can't in good conscience go against my oaths and support the GLs unmasonic conduct. I feel bad being unaffiliated from the Brotherhood but see no clear path.
My brother mason and I would like to join another lodge. We were, and in our hearts are, hardcore. But I'm not sure that works to our advantage where we are located. Anyhow any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks again
