I have run into Anti-Masons and have had to control my temper as they spouted their mis-information and refused to listen to the truth. Again. I just held my temper and walked away.<br /><br />John Chiocchi 32<br />Past Master, Liberty Lodge #300<br />Grand Lodge AF&AM of Nebraska Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133994936741708619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909814477098868440.post-40411825354081126042015-04-16T15:21:56.481-05:002015-04-16T15:21:56.481-05:00I really enjoyed this article, thank you for shari...I really enjoyed this article, thank you for sharing your experience and the information and I agree with Bro.

However, I believe a bit of clarification is necessary regarding this part of your post:<br /><br />"We all know what having 'Inc.' after your lodge name really means. And for those of you who don't it means, 'We take your money and fool you into thinking we're legit.'"<br /><br />Not all lodges (or grand lodges, for that matter) that have an "Inc." appended to their name are illegitimate or acting in a clandestine manner. For example, the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Hawaii stylizes its name as the "Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of Hawaii and its Jurisdiction, Inc." They are fully recognized by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Hawaii, which was a formerly under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of California F. & A.M. until 1989. <br /><br />WB Dale Palileo, PM<br />Kenton Masonic Lodge No. 145<br />http://www.kentonfreemasons.orgdpalileohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025599519274458690noreply@blogger.com
