Well...Charlie Daniels did write a song called the Devil Went Down to Georgia........ maybe that is what attracts the bogus crowd...
While I agree with your statement, you have to consider that the person seeking out clandestine Lodges may not care about regularity. I've got a sneaking suspicion this particular person doesn't care. His posts are all too baiting for the conversation at hand. I could be mistaken, but I doubt it. If he was truly concerned about regularity, he would have googled GL of GA to find out about legit Lodges.
I agree Brother.

I'm done with trying to get into masonry. I've been trying this for 3 years now and its been bull**** every single time. Maybe masonry isn't for me. And considering some of the attitudes (the superiority complexes and assuming things without facts) I've run into, including on here, that just may be the case. Fortunately I didn't lose any money during this search, just my time...that I can't get back, by the way.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. You don't know what I'm seeking or not seeking for that matter. My posts are too baiting? All I did was go off of information that I thought to be true. It's not my fault that masonry has so many liars.

You all didn't offer ***** except a bunch of judgmental bull**** and talking down because I ran into some unsavory characters.

They did offer you sound advice , it seems you do not want to accept it . There are many groups claiming to be Masonic out there that are nothing more than money making schemes . This is what the members here are trying to tell you (in a round about way ) . Honestly , if you want to join any of these groups , then by all means , join them , just do not expect us to call you "Brother" because we can not , by the rules put forth by our own jurisdictions .

Actually, he does know what he is talking about. You, not being initiated yet, must rely upon your more informed guides if you don't want to be lead astray.
Vulgarities, impulsiveness, impatience and stating the obvious. Perhaps you are indeed correct in your assumptions.
hummm... a five letter explative. That's gonna keep me busy for a bit.
BTW - Unsavory characters are what Masons are trained to deal with effectively. How are we doing?

Masonry does not have "so many liars" , because the information you are getting from the men close to you are not Masons . They are clandestine and are not considered Masons . Of course they will tell you they are legit because they need members ! We are merely pointing in the right direction and away from these unsavory characters .
As it has been pointed out in several posts there are only two legit Grand Lodges in Ga. . The GL of GA. (MS) and the MWGLPHA of GA. , all the rest are clandestine , PERIOD .
Coach , that was a four letter explative not five , began with an S and ended on a T .

One last thing , I will apologize for anything that may have been said that makes you feel that we are claiming you are a troll . You have to see this from our point of view , we know what we are talking about . We know what is Masonry and what is NOT Masonry . You are on the outside looking in and see all these different "groups" who claim to be Masons when they are not and do not know what is true . We have seen new members come on these boards all proud to have been Raised to the Sublime degree of a Master Mason only to find out that we can not converse with them Masoniclly because they were led astray and joined some clandestine group and either left the forum dejected , became angry and started arguments or took it upon themselves to find a legit Grand Lodge and become "HEALED" .

Wow........:1-rolleyes:
We have not put you down for talking to a clandestine lodge. We have offered you good advice. You did not take that advice and we told you the second GL you were talking to was also clandestine. We showed you the 2 Grand lodges that are considered regular. You ignore that advice. Like I said before, visitation is a great privledge in masonry. By joining a clandestine lodge you give up that right. We could not converse with you about masonic topics even on an online forum if you are not regular. You come in here cussing at us and showing us disrespect. I wish you well my friend. I do hope that you find whatever it is you are loking for. However, with your last few posts you have shown that masonry is not for you.

I'm glad I found this thread. Since the major subject was clandestine lodges, I'm supposed to be going through an initiation also this coming Friday. I also live in the same state as the guy who started the thread. I looked it up on the GL of GA website and didn't see this lodge's name, nor their GL. The lodge name is: Malachi No. 4
Their GL name is: Most Worshipful John Pine Grand Lodge
Anyone know anything about this? I don't want to go through the initiation only to find out that I'm not recognized anywhere else.
