Hello, Mr.Glen.The same reasons as legitimate lodges, I suppose
Also -- To make good men better?
But, why, then, he have to be "healed"?

A profit.
Not in my view; to simply keep up numbers and revenue and keep buildings open.Hello, Mr.Glen.

Thanks.Not in my view; to simply keep up numbers and revenue and keep buildings open.
In any case, as he he has not been through a process under the auspices of a legitimate GL, the prior acts are of not recognized. It is as if he received a degree from a university which was not accredited. An accredited university would require him to take the classes over.
This is America. We have various freedoms, including the freedom to be in errorThanks.
But, why aren't you, "fighting" with them? I know, this may be a stupid question! Cause you don't have "copyrights" on The Freemasonry. But, anyway. Why don't you make "influence/pressure" on these clandestine guys?! So that they should stop their "business"? Or movement, whatever.
Understood.This is America. We have various freedoms, including the freedom to be in error
To the contrary. I think they cause great damage to the reputation of our PHA brethren particularly. Many do not separate out the clandestine and the legitimate, and all of us are labelled by their dishonesty, vulgarity and intemperance.Understood.
They don't "damage" True Masonry, probably.
That'll never happen. These clandestine lodges make too much revenue to shut down.Thanks.

Actually there has been legal actions filed in U.S. Courts to counter bogus Masonry's existence & growth. But unfortunately, litigation is not cheap.Thanks.

What happens after a so-called victory in the Courts is that Clandestine organizations change their names and re-surface as a new organization.

Same here in Kentucky.In both my jurisdictions (OR and NM) there is an "initiation fee" this fee covers your degrees and first full year of dues....meaning in OR I paid $150 for initiation in February of 13 I didn't have to pay dues till Jan of 15.
I did that I'm mainstream mm. That is a bylaws thing usually depends on the lodge. That's the way I was raised but we recently changed our bylaws. Its all at once nowFYI, you usually pay the dues for the lodge including Grand Lodge Tax and whatever the fee for healing..I never heard paying for each degree..sounds suspect.

Personally speaking, I like that MUCH better than "George Washington" or other such nonsense.Getting tired of using "mainstream" so I will just state my grand lodge
