INTERNET E-GROUPS
“While you live, tell truth and shame the Devil!”
Shakespeare's Henry IV. Part I
Over the past two decades the growth of the internet has allowed Freemasonry to open its doors and allow the public at large to view its beauty and majesty. Most legitimate Masonic bodies have created websites to serve as bastions of information for both the Mason and non-Mason.
The popularity of the internet does not stop with websites which are static and usually do not allow for real-time interaction – as a result a phenomenal information tool was created to allow members and the curious to explore Freemasonry in near real time utilizing the miracle of electronic mail more commonly referred to as e-mail. As we began to become comfortable with the internet, e-mail grew into a feature of business and communication that is 10o% necessary in today’s world.
From web pages to email list servers finally emerged a forum which would incorporate the best of both technologies “The Internet E-Groups”.
Most are free and offer anyone the ability to communicate with those who share similar interest. Regular Masonic groups have capitalized on the power of such a tool - as it allows for the quick dissemination of information, the posting of pictures, internet links and of course the luxury of communicating in near real time with the members via e-mail.
Hidden among the thousands of E-Groups run by Regular Masonic organizations – are the Bogus Masonic Groups who are equally conscious of its power and are also utilizing E-Groups to communicate, proliferate and propagate their bogus status to their members and to the public in general.
The next few issues will expose the E-Groups of these Counterfeit Masonic Organizations. Virginia Beach, Virginia beware, for lurking in your area is the first group we will shine our light upon. They are under investigation and the Commission is seeking further information pertaining to this organization which was formed on April 24, 2005, these bold and ambitious men in their desire to emulate regular Freemasonry have formulated a Bogus Supreme Council and as is popular with fake Masons a Grand Masonic Congress.
BEHOLD THEM IN ALL THEIR GLORY AND SPLENDOR!
But never forget that for all their pomp and circumstance they are SPURIOUS and an ABOMINATION. They are calculated predators who pray upon the ignorance of the unsuspecting public who desire to join and affiliate with regular Freemasons and Eastern Stars.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SINCE POSTING THIS ARTICLE IN APRIL 2006, THE MEMBERS OF THIS BOGUS ORGANIZATION HAVE TAKEN DOWN THEIR E-GROUPS. PLEASE GO TO THE ARTICLE SECTION AND READ "A MASONIC PANDEMIC" TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR CURRENT ACTIVITIES.
