I really believe there is a misunderstanding. I was asking "Where does he get off...." because it was a funny title. I knew something gave the GM power to allow lodges not to go suspended I just wanted to know. As far as the statement of manditory 3 meetings you took that out of another thread...
I don't really have a whole lot to add to this other than, media views are way more present today than a Farmer's Almanac. It is impossible to go a day without getting a onesided view of how someone feels on this heathcare bill (or any other bill or view). It is on the radio when you get in your...
Well, Einstien was explaining how time can be altered based on gavitational pull and such when he put his reletivity theory out there. If you ever get a chance to read it you should. It is pretty intense, when he gets to discussing how Space bends time and such. His example here just shows how...
I don't think this is what anyone is saying here. I think the thing that we are questioning is, with a lodge on the brink of closing how could the brethren not come to the aid of the Lodge? There are so many ways to get the Lodges to raise money. What are some of the reasons a Lodge can not pay...
So we want smaller Lodges and more of them or less Lodges with more members in them or is it less members and less Lodges. Just confused what people would like to see?
You are absolutly correct Brother Gerald. This is somethig that only the GM should look at but what I am told and I am still awaiting correct numbers from GL is there are 34 Lodge that could not pay annual returns. That being said it is being left to the next GM to decide what to do with them...
To me this is hard to pin point a number. I feel that if Masonry, real Masonry is being taught the number can be as large as not to hinder this. I would like to brainstorm on ideas to ensure active membership. Things like you MUST attend 3 masonic functions during a year to retain your...
I knew by posting on here I would get an answer.
Section 3. – Charter Suspended for Failure to Make Returns or Pay Dues.
If any Lodge shall fail to make its annual returns or to pay its annual dues within such time as may be prescribed by law, it shall not be represented in the next...
Sirus, you being a member of GL how do you feel about a GM that doesn't follow what you voted on and implemented. My question is still, does he have the power to do this? Is there something that ables him not to? Or to pass it to the next GM? Is there somewhere we can go to see who is in arrears?
