   And the public forum is just one place for these two sides to examine the various questions. Your Grand Lodge session is another forum where amnesty and restoration for anyone disciplined for anything other than a felony conviction during the term of the present Grand Master can be presented as a resolution. Also, as long as everyone is careful not to violate the rules against electioneering, an alternative slate can be suggested that does not include any potential Executive who is of the mind that a Grand Master can “unMake” a Mason at sight. While it is unlikely that a Grand Master’s home lodge would prefer charges, Wellsburg can try a PGM who vacates office and hence becomes a sojourner. Personally, I am glad that I never violated my obligation to supplant another Master Mason engaged in laudable undertakings.

   I will reiterate this is a forum for the discussion of West Virginia Freemasonry. If Bro Tom is the same from Halcyon Lodge, we welcome your insights regarding West Virginia's situation, but ask that you post news of your own law suit to your own forum

   I congratulate my W.V. Brothers. This is good news indeed. The dictator is almost finished. It is long over due, but Dec is right around the corner. My hope and prayers for a fair and honest election for new G.L. Officers will become a reality, keeping just one of his cronies in place will undermine what you have to done so far. God be with you

   Awfully quiet in West Virginia especially considering that your GL session is only a few days away. Anybody home?

   I ahree with Bro. Torence. It is getting to be time to change or accept the hand we are dealt. It is not time to sit and let this GL session just pass us by. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered.

   I hear that Charlie is tape recording his conversations. Is this not illegal? Do you not have to have the other parties OK to record? Do you not have to have a court order to record conversations? But then I would expect nothing else from this anti-American

    To all Masonic brethren in the United States of America,

    I am writing a statement that is my own personal opinion. It does not officially represent the position of any Grand Lodge, Subordinate Lodge, or any other Masonic related body. It is my OWN opinion. That being said, I will move on to the purpose of this statement!

    Recent events in the Grand Lodge of West Virginia have not only been troubling, but have become of great concern to me on a personal level due to the flagrant violation of the Masonic Code of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia as well as the ancient customary rules of our laudable order. If an elected Grand Master cannot obey his EA obligation by subduing his passions, then expecting him to act in the best interest of the Grand Lodge he has promised to serve to the utmost of his ability will not happen either. I have found no precedent in Masonic law for the expulsion of any Freemason without trial. Yet, this is exactly what has happened. It is not only wrong, it is an outright travesty of the principles and ideals we as Freemasons hold dear!

    I find it odd that when the Nazi party was able to take over in Germany so many years ago, it started with a gradual erosion of rights and privileges of the citizens. In Freemasonry, we have all promised to a degree to that which is right, and to overthrow tyrants if needed. It is disgraceful that the tyrant in question would be a Grand Master who wears a hood and sheet along with his Masonic apron. To have outright racist opinions rule and govern a Grand Lodge is scary since that is not a qualification nor precursor to Masonic membership as we all know. Truthfully, I felt progress had been made to get beyond these petty, racist opinions.

    I will ask that ALL of you remember what is truly important. Please keep MW Bro. Frank Haas in your prayers. Yes, I addressed him as Most Worshipful! Despite his current status, he had been elected and served his term as Grand Master. So despite the fact his name has been removed from GL-WV website, it doesn’t change the fact of his service, nor the fact that he has continued to stand for that which is right. It would certainly be nice to see others in West Virginia do the same!
