And the WM saw the solution as simply bringing that member (ember) back to the fire. What the WM was missing is this: If the Lodge (the fire) was giving the member (ember) what he needed, the member would not have left. Of course, it is possible that the Lodge is giving the members what it should, and this David Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673241422745751614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890539051044430814.post-50152470204316695202017-06-04T13:48:27.430-04:002017-06-04T13:48:27.430-04:00David Bowman...

If a lodge is doing what it should, and offering to its members what it should, there will be no need for the WM to go visit members who have dropped out. The reason these members dropped out is simply because it was the lodge that stopped giving its members those things for which they joined. Give them Freemasonry, and they will come.David Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673241422745751614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890539051044430814.post-29193410113741050402017-06-03T19:39:38.203-04:002017-06-03T19:39:38.203-04:00Brother, I am a little slow sometimes, but I under...Brother, I am a little slow sometimes, but I understand the part about the one ember being separated from the fire...(not going to lodge could cause your fire to go out?) But putting the others in a separate container made their fire go out?) perhaps you could shed some "more light" on this for me...ThanksBradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16412195285434978365noreply@blogger.com
