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.

What's next? Telescreens? We are losing the cultural war. Look at the trash available to youth. For a look at true warped values, turn to MTV for 5 minutes, if you can stomach it. Young men run around with their butts showing over their droopy pants and having learned that drug dealers are rich and cool. Young women are abused by others and abuse themselves. Clueless parents and grandparents are trying in vain to take up the slack. Now is the time for Freemasonry. Now is the time for the brethren to push back against the morally profane and to demonstrate that people can act with honor and caring and brotherly love. Now is the time for the brethren to demonstrate by actions, not empty words, that cliches and tradition exist very often because THEY WORK. Now is the time for the brethren to work with willing hearts on the house not made with hands and also at our usual vocations. The need for or desire for this site, the existence of the underlying disputes, the rumors and threats, the heavy-handedness, the disregard of mutual respect among the brethren should deeply shame all of the brethren. We are the people who should best work and best agree.
I again call for a meeting of interested brothers, to discuss these disputes in harmony and love and look for solutions and not more problems.

Brother A Mason, you know who I am in the physical world, and I have expressed these things to you directly. Perhaps Grand Lodge will find a quick solution that we all can abandon these bloody silly pseudonyms and talk as brothers and men.

Brethern: It is time for the GM to be called to task for his deplorable actions. I do not know what procedure can be legaly called upon , however some of my distinguishable brothers must be in a position to step forward with a solution. Can it be that we must wait for his successor to take action? If this is the case, then So be it. We can only call upon our supreme architect to intervene with his supreme wisdom in the meanwhile. Brothers, lets pray for the answer to a very ,very serious problem!!!

What is absurd is that the Grand Master suspended two brothers and placed a lodge on "probation" (again, whatever that is, since it has no definition in our constitutions), by claiming they were involved in the masonic Crusade website.
Where is their proof of this?
How can it possibly BE proved, since the site can do little to trace general information about its posters (if anything). And I am more than reasonably certain there is no Grand lodge "mole" who can access that small bit of information anyway. So again I say, how does the Grand Master know what the website's own moderator does not know?

Brother Publius,
I agree with you but ask are you willing to make the first step? Use your real name on your next post and see what happens? Maybe you can become a moderator in this battle and help bring this book of masonic history to a close. I think it a noble endevor. I'm not sure of the reaction from the GL though. They have been going around the state telling lodges everything from "we should work this out" to "we will not change anthing reguardless of what those masons around the state want. It is good enough for us so it should be good enough for them"
Their comments varying depending on the croud they are in. I know some masons have been walking out when charlie arrives. You undoubtedly know the leader of our state tells no one when he is coming and shows up 5 minutes before lodge opens.
Is that leadership????
I ,as a frequent contributor here, will work with you however I can. Good luck, my prayers are with you.

Brother Publius
are you willing to elaborate on a plan of how to accomplish a meeting? I can be contacted directly at masoniccrusade@gmail.com. Perhaps it is better this conversation go offline?

Brother Publius
It is my honor to work with those that toil here. They are true Masons and someday I hope to proudly tell all who helped save Masonry in West Virginia. As for me, I see a job that needs done. Nobody special. Just A Mason first and foremost.

Brother Publius,
I am a little slow on my game. I do indeed recall our conversations. With the Inquisitors everywhere I have learned to be cautious.

Brethren,
There must be a name for the disease our sitting GM is suffering from ? Any normal human being, after reading all that is said against him, would take a long hard look at himself and correct it. Nothing bothers him, he has no conscious, no real integrity. I guess time will tell. Maybe prayers will help.
I remain,
Fraternally,
MaCh
PS Please do not send him out here !

I will attend a meeting, and I believe many brothers would as well. I will patiently await certain signs and words for that purpose. I call upon Masonic Crusade to move from words to action. There is nothing dishonorable in meeting in confidence -- the Imperator and his Senate do as much.

And how would I be certain that you are really interested and not someone from Grand Lodge who desperately wants to know who runs this site? I am not trying to be difficult. I am trying to understand what action you wish us to take?
Surely you realize the eyes of the world are upon us? Not always friendly eyes.
I am interested in your thoughts. If need be, email them to masoniccrusade@gmail.com

The threats from our leadership continue as he sneaks around the state. I personally think making our individual lodges prosper is the first and foremost concern. Educate your fellow Brethren to all that is going on throughout the great world of Freemasonry. Every lodge must educate themselves due to the fact our GL sponsers nothing on a state or district level except when they have an agenda. Visit the links, print out the papers, and teach one another that there is more to Freemasonry than old men meeting in an old building. You must build it up before they will come.Cause your lodge to shine. The only way to initiate change is to have a well rounded masonic education. It eliminates the fear. Fight the ignorence and the cabletow will be loosened because it will be no longer necessary.
Teach each other!!!!!!!
