That is not any recognized Grand Lodges I know of. The GL of GA's website is going to list those Lodges under it.
We can not tell you what to do but I will STRONGLY suggest that you reconsider this "initiation" if you wish to be thought of as a Mason.... look on the GL of GA website and find a recognized close to you if you wish to join a recognized Lodge/GL......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.
Good link. I bookmarked it. 37 states out of 50 with bogus lodges.Ky has one but they fly under the radar , we hear nothing from them and are primarily within the black communities in the larger cities such as Louisville .
Here is a great list of bogus Grand Lodges...... Commission on Bogus Masonry
And FF Sparky , you are correct , there are none listed in CT . Georgia on the other hand has more than you can shake a stick at .....
Massachusetts has a few, too. Where's the EIEIO when you need them?Ohio has quite a bit of them too. Had a friend petition my Lodge after talking to a clandestine about Masonry. On a positive note, the fellow told my friend he wouldn't be a recognized member in most places. Which lead him on a seach to me.
Well, these guys aren't recognized by neither the GL of GA nor the PHGL. They say that they aren't Prince Hall. I called the GLofGA to see if there was a possibility that this lodge could be legitimately, but not added to their site. They assured me that the only lodge they have under that number is in a completely different part of GA.We can not tell you what to do but I will STRONGLY suggest that you reconsider this "initiation" if you wish to be thought of as a Mason.... look on the GL of GA website and find a recognized close to you if you wish to join a recognized Lodge/GL......
