I was more speaking of medaphoric representation of east and west. But it may have came from elsewhere.

After reading this thread I was motivated to make an account and post. It seems EXTREMELY obvious to me that the entire point of this thread is to attempt to mock masonry through the guise of a "monkey lodge." Masons are only human, but while lodges have done some things that are fairly comical and/or stupid in the past, I call shenanigans on this.

After all, a true mason that has concern for his lodge would NOT be posting in a forum that obvious is populated by some people who are looking for any and every excuse to defame the fraternity.

Full Disclosure: And yes, I obviously am a mason.

EDIT: LOL, I cant change the contents of the post now that I noticed a grammar error. Oh well

Exactly. The only information he has given are things about lodge setup and function that are now widely available on the internet.

Some people wonder why Masons tend to keep some things secret - this thread is a shining example of how a little bit of knowledge does nothing but cause problems. The person who is making up this entire monkey lodge mockery scenario would be unable to do so without some of the widely available information about lodge setups which are now on the internet. Otherwise someone would have to go to a officer installation or some other public ceremony to get enough knowledge to make up this sort of scenario. Given that people who attend those ceremonies tend to be friends of the fraternity...it would be unlikely that the original poster would be in the crowd.

And yet practically (in the US) there is no real relationship between the blue lodge and either the York or Scottish Rite, except that you must be a Master Mason before going into those orders. I find it very odd that the Grand Lodge would put the needs of other "orders" above it's own needs. So odd that I doubt it would ever happen.

More evidence that this ENTIRE thing is simply an attempt to make a false scenario to mock masonry.

So, HDFACTORYCERTIF,

I'll second AugustusMasonicus' request that you give name to this "higher Masonic order" you're now in a leadership position in. I've been inclined towards "shenanigans" from the beginning of the thread but deferred to other more experienced (and more importantly, U.S.-based) Masons. However if this is an actual situation, why post on a board such as ATS? Kind of counterintuitive, especially if one's looking for Masonic input.

Maybe to allay the suspicions, you might U2U one of the more experienced Masons on the board like Masonic Light or Trinityman with info that would help establish some bona fides for you.

Elsewise........

I am with you Fitz, I think OP should reveal which lodge and jurisdiction this happens to be in. Whether or not it is a U2U to one of the more 'esteemed' Masons on ATS or he reveals it here does not matter to me.

I am almost certainly convinced by his descriptions, his relation of events and his proported 'solution' to this alleged problem that he is not even a Mason.
