To the Brethren of West Virginia
To the Brethren of West Virginia,
One has to have fear before he can show bravery. Brethren of West Virginia you are both Brave and vigilant. In battles all over this country and the world young men(21 to 50) and those few older freethinking masons are breaking out of their shells and becoming the leaders of our craft. Taking the run down buildings left to them and returning them to their prestigious place in the community. This is the Freemasonry of today. (More)
Items 3 and 4 Territorial Jurisdiction and Advancement after 1 year.
Now it requires a secret ballot with unanimous vote. Franks agenda changed this to a majority vote. His explanation discussed how people commute on a regular basis and may want to join a Lodge closer to where they work or one their co-workers or family belong. The vote for a waiver of Territorial jurisdiction is not a vote on moral character, but rather to give permission for a man to petition another Lodge. (More)

Brethren,
We have heard that members of Grand Lodge are claiming the ability to detect visitors to this site.
Brethren this is simply not true.
As the owners of the site, we have access to certain information regarding who reads our site. This information is very limited in nature. I assure you with my word as a Master Mason; this information will NEVER be shared or given to anyone and most certainly not to Grand Lodge.
This is a tactic used to scare those away, who might otherwise be educated to the real truth. Don’t fall for this lie.
This is America brethren; we have the right to read whatever web site we choose. The Flag (that they refuse to pledge allegiance to) and our Veterans (many of whom are not good enough to be members) give us that right.
Please help spread the word about us. Help our less informed brethren see through the deceptions and lies.

II. Plural membership.
At present, our laws prohibit plural membership in lodges.
Freemasons develop a deep affection for their lodges and are hesitant
to demit from their “mother lodge” even when they relocate. Our
society is now much more mobile than before, with job changes and
residence changes at increasing frequency. The financial condition of
many lodges is not favorable, and the ranks of officers willing to serve
are thin in some lodges. Allowing our members to join more than one
lodge, in any grand jurisdiction with which we are in fraternal
communication, and allowing our lodges to accept as members
brothers, who will retain their membership in another regular lodge, in
any grand jurisdiction with which we are in fraternal communication,
will add strength to the lodges by brothers who thereby voluntarily
increase their Masonic dues and commitment. (More)
