There's a Lodge across the street from where my wife works. I was early picking her up today so I went over and read the sign. 6 lodges meet there, one a Shriner and one O.E.(and I forget the last letter, apologies).

What is the O.E............?("S"?)

And is this common for so many Lodges to meet at one lodge? Different days of course.

The OES is the Order of the Eastern Star, a masonic group for masons and their female relatives.

It is VERY normal for several lodges to meet in the same building. In my lodge, we own the building, and a bethel of Job's Daughters uses our building to meet there. We used to have a Royal Arch Masonic chapter meeting there also, as well as Shriners.

In the lodge down the street from where I work, there are Craft masons, Royal Arch masons, OES, and some other group also. It's very common for lodges who cannot afford their own building to meet somewhere else.

I don't see why you would worry more after FINDING out about a Lodge, that was there all along.

In my case, though, the nearest lodge was more than 1000 miles away, and the Masons showed up! Tell my town there's nothing to worry about!

As for, should you prepared for anything?

Yes. And yes. Did I mention be prepared for anything?

Do you understand that to include mental and spiritual preparation? Good.

And exactly WHAT do you think masons did in your town, except keep to themselves and and have their own private meetings regarding their own spiritual development?

And what do you think the author of this thread should be prepared for? What do you believe Freemasons do, other than meet in private and hold degrees for each other?

You have told me many times that you don't believe there is anything nefarious about Freemasons, so it's rather odd that you would be saying all this. Kind of contradicts everything else you've tried telling me, like you had multiple personalities...???
