IMO the WMs idea that Freemasonry is a "community service organization" is an example of
the problems we are facing today. We are not the same as the Lions or Rotary clubs, the Salvation Army etc.

Right on, but we are quickly turning into it.

I don't know about "quickly", but in my area it has been a gradual decline until it is now accepted by most of our own members that we are a "service organization", fostered in part by Grand Lodge. Publicity= members. It amazes me that some think because of this, men will be suddenly inspired to join.

IMO the blue Lodge should take care of worthy brothers, their widows and orphans and leave charity to those organizations which are more qualified to do them and do them well; ie Shrine, Scottish Rite, Kiwanis, Rotary, etc.

I have a difficult time subduing my passions on this particular subject. If I offended...
sorry bout that.
