I know these are fake and you will be banned if you are affiliated with them but how can you tell the difference?
a safe way, Justin, is to stick with communication on this Forum and in the outside world with either Mainstream Brethren, or Prince Hall Affiliated (PHA) Brethren. Any Brother hailing from either Grand Body has proper affiiation and recognition needed to be recognized Worldwide. in Florida, the PHA Grand Lodge is named Union Grand Lodge, F&AM, PHA...................BRO JONES
There are a multitude of ways to tell. First and foremost will be are they recognized by any other GL or the UGLE. Go to the GL website for Florida and see if the Lodge is listed on their locator. If it isn't there then more than likely they are clandestine.
OK so basically if it is cleared and advertised by the GL I have nothing to worry about? Are there a lot of fake masons in Florida and what is the purpose of there existence? To take down masonry or misguide us?
OK my lodge is a free and accepted mason lodge (F&AM) so this lodge is prince hall affiliated? What dose that mean and how dose it effect me?
