Masonic Mafia
Just heard that so far there have been another 264 members of the Shrine suspended for NPD . I have no idea how they are keeping their doors open ....
In the last 4 years they have lost (number a member gave me) over 1,200 members or more as he said . more and more are leaving the Shrine (our local temple mind you) . Yet , the potentate balls are growing more and more expensive and extravagant with each new potentate trying to one up the last by spending more money . Each potentate ball costs the members thousands of dollars and the price tag gets higher every year . I will not reveal the price because I do not want to cause someone to choke on what one of these parties to ME (meaning the new potentate) costs .
are the brethren putting their priorities in order finally and doing away with the superfluities ? I do feel bad for those who are members of the board of directors at the hospitals and on the A-team , this is why they are Shriners in the first place . But those I know who are Shriners for the sole purpose of partying , I feel no pity . Sorry if you do not like that , but that's how I feel because I know far to many who can care less about the children/hospitals .
What's it look like in other Shrine temples ? I know I am not a Nobel , but this does interest me along with other bodies member ship losses . My old SR Valley is hemorrhaging also due to suspensions/demits . Their membership loss is more than double of what they are bringing in .
