At least the new incumbents will do a lot more for their local community than the JW's ever did (or do).
The Masons do a tremendous quantity of charitable work,it is also not so hard to leave, so not so much of a cult !
By the way great BIG cyber hug Mouthy,
much love,

LOL that is weird mouthy! the masons homecoming eh?!
is also not so hard to leave
I wouldn't agree entirely with that comment wobble. You can leave - and they can make life very, very difficult for you...
Don't be fooled by the nice charitable front - that's just for show.

quote from article:
James Cunningham, Past Illustrious Master of the Niles McKinley Lodge, said the fraternal organization purchased the building last year. For many years it was used as a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.
To convert the former Kingdom Hall into a Masonic Lodge,
I suppose turn-about is fair play.

oh contrare mes amis. (On the contrary my friends.)
Due to various circumstances I recently took a demit (aka quit) from my Lodge. It took a letter and it was done. No pressure, no grief, no repercussons. They did want to know why but accepted my decision.
I will likely be joining another Lodge in the very near future (my old lodge didn't/doesn't know that) but this crap about not being able to leave is just that ...crap.
The Masons are pseudo religious but can't really be called a cult. No high control, no demand for common belief except in a creator/designer.
Back to the point of the article however, the Mason's will do more for the community than the JW's ever have and certainly won't be harassing the neighbours at 9:30 Saturday/Sunday morning.

UZZah a Mason??? I had a dear friend who was a Mason.He tried to get my hubby
into it.... But it was a no show! I was told it was because he was Catholic...RIGHT??
Also to join one must roll up the leg of his pants etc: to take the oath?
I remember years ago. A Minister in England exposed all the Masonic "rituals"
Lots of trouble about it at that time.YEARS ago....
I personally think when anyone has to do ANYTHING to become a member ( except
pay your dues with money)it is cultish, & to exclude some one because of religion
is predujuce ....Just my two cents
Lovely to see your still with us Uzzah....Miss ya, even if I dont always agree
with you my sweetie(((((HUG)))) -
