Ok, after a couple of months of silence i am finally ready to update this here blog. And it has been a busy couple of months!
At the end of February a friend and I attended an open house at Cloverdale #168 of the GLBC&Y. They had a great program, with several speakers including the editor of our GL newsletter VW Bro. Trevor W. McKeown, who gave a fantastic power point presentation on Freemasonry in the movies! He had over a hundred examples showing how the perception of the Craft has changed through the years goning from positive to the negative and how it has been slowly making its way back to the positive side of the spectrum. One of the Brethren also gave the crowd gathered that night the 'Address to the Brethren' given at our installations, he did it word perfect while strolling about the Lodge, it was amazing! It was also cool to find out that the WM of the lodge, Guy Olsson, was a fellow I had met years before when we both worked for the same company! Great to see him again under such cool circumstances!
Nooksack Valley Lodge #105 conferred their first FellowCraft degree in 14 years and I was there to watch. Again it was in full costume! Wor. Bro. Mike Beaudry and his officers did an amazing job in making this degree a memorable one for all involved! I hear the Lodge's Degree Team will be putting their hard work to use at some other Lodges this summer, surely a testament to their devotion to great ritual!
And last but not least my Lodge's Installations took place this past Saturday! First, I have never seen more Masons at my lodge until then, every seat was occupied, with about 60 - 65 men in attendance. About 10 different Lodges including the GL were represented. Our outgoing WM Jonathan Miller was replaced by Bro. Ivan Hamilton who had spent a great deal of time getting the whole day organized, and every bit came off without a hitch! I was installed as Chaplain, and gave my first grace........ever, that night. I found a nice old one from a UGLE handbook I found on-line. Dinner was great and I got to meet alot of 'significant others' that night. I am looking forward to a great year in my chair, and really being an active participant in Lodge workings!
Congrats on your first grace as Chaplain. Interesting how things work in other jurisdictions.
ReplyDeleteFor example in ours, the Chaplain is usually the outgoing WM as the work is fresh in his mind he sits next to the incoming Master.
Anyway I agree it is nice to see when a Lodge room is filled and everyone has a good time.
I do wish I could travel more to see the similarities and the differences.
Frats.
I noticed the different seating position at Nooksack Valley Lodge in Lynden Wa. as well. My position in the Lodge is in the north.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your work in the Chaplain's Chair. Sounds like you're having a great year!
ReplyDeleteThe Problem in our society are the Freemasons, aka masons. If they were to disappear, the world would be a farrrr.....better place!
ReplyDeleteMasonry, the sure path to ruin. You may not see it now in the beginning, but you will as you progress in the craft and further yourself away from God and your Christian faith...
For starters, masons are interested ONLY in accepting those that hold some position of importance or authority in society. If it is a would be or actual politician than even better! Masons do NOT accept regular joes, homeless, or unimportant lazy folk. Second, the hook is the so-called Believe in a Higher Being nonsense (be it Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim etc.). Third, as the mason progresses through the stages in the craft, the end goal for him is to realize that He does not need God because the transformation has occurred whereby the member realizes he is a God unto himself. Moreover, the ceremonies he participates in are Occult period and anti-Catholic (Christian), Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist. They are demonic period.
Fourth, it is the duty of every mason not to knowingly or wittingly do harm, talk bad about or tell on his fellow mason. And, when a fellow mason is in need or danger to help him above all else. Therefore, this is the WHY it is so simple for the pedophiles within the occult mason organization to easily rape, molest, enter children with impunity. Some use mikey Finn, or simply get vulnerable children in exchange for cash to their families who need it. No fellow mason can, or is allowed by their own acceptance of the rules when entering the craft, to "tell" on one another. Hence, the perfect crime.
Fifth, just to clarify, the end game of masonry, which also is the de facto mission of the occult, is to slowly like hairloss, have it's members deconstruct all that is descent and Holy in society. Masonry and Catholicism are non-congruent. This is why every mason has a duty to oppress society (one of the masonic central tenets is: Through Chaos Comes Order, and it is the masons that will establish their occult order unto society). This is the reason why they work hard to destroy all that is sanctity in society and impose demonic teachings (For example: no Lord's prayer, gays and lesbians and 1/2 and 1/2 are a good thing,not a mental disorder which it is and if you oppose this you are racist of some sort. Have an abortion because it is not a human you have inside you but a piece of pepperoni, flood countries with muslims who NEVER integrate and are shut-in and by nature only impose on all their religious ways of thinking at all costs etc.).
And lastly, If one is a Catholic one cannot become a freemason. DO NOT be fooled by the masons and their lies. It is a mortal sin and excommunication to follow. If it were up to me i would banish masonry peiod, jail the pedophiles and bring forth to the Hague International Court all masons to pay for their Crimes Against Humanity. Hopefully, some day, this will occur.
