Before the replies start coming in believe me when I tell you, it took years of my own study and efforts to know event what I know now and when I was raised in 2009, I had no clue about the
various sects and letters, charters, who was considered bogus who wasn't. What I've come up with throughout the years is that if the UGLE never actually recognized most PHA lodges then it's the same game that PHA plays
with others that practice masonry under different structures. In my mind, that never changed what organically masonry was supposed to be. So I am not seeking to heal over because of any of that, and I do not care who is PHA in here and well equipped for debate and argument. I'm here to find out why we don't practice masonry the way we are supposed to but our claim to fame is Prince Hall putting it down to establish blacks in masonry and get
that recognition. It does boil down to the little things!! First of all, I didn't understand back when I was first raised how important dues were to an organization. I get it now but if my opinion is if you are going to suspend a bro based on dues, blackball them because they are getting nothing from your lodge perhaps it falls to the leadership of that lodge to square that away. I wouldn't collect a dusty dime in a beat-up building Bro!!!!! That's just me.....
If I know a Bro has called on me in distress and I ignored that.....How can I look that Bro in the eye?? Do we not have the same OB!! Some of the most toxic dudes I met have been in the craft and it started with meeting the military ones. I know what you're thinking why did you become one? Because I did some study!! If becoming a Freemason was based solely on the social apparatus I could have found that times 10 at just about any church.
What I seek from the posting is just good advice from non- PHA Bros. PHA Bros, I've heard all the schism I care to hear, I don't give a damn about whether I am considered a clandestine, technically so was everyone not recognized by the UGLE.
