Avoiding The Masonic Bait and Switch
'Bait and switch' refers to what occurs when the product or experience delivered is far inferior that that which was originally promised.

Masonic Musical Chairs and The Past Master Paradox
We often see Masonic Lodges advancing officers each year like they're playing a game of musical chairs and often without much regard to the leadership capabilities of the brethren. Many lodges (and masons) seem to think that putting Past Masters in any office, especially serving as Worshipful Master again, is a sign of an unhealthy lodge. This creates somewhat of a paradox where we have two mindsets that seem to contradict each other. On one hand we want to keep advancing everyone through the chairs but on the other hand, we become distraught when we ha...

A Look At the Past: The Lost Art of Masonic Retention
If your Masonic lodge is having issues with membership retention then it may be worth considering how many lodges approached membership in the past. Freemasonry in the USA has been losing members for a few decades now and many jurisdictions have tried various approaches to help alleviate the problem. Some approaches include one-day classes, open houses, reducing the proficiencies, low dues, and even advertising yet the problem still remains. The more transparent and mundane we try to make ourselves appear the less attractive we are actually making our fraternity. This is because it is t...

Is Freemasonry too easy to join? Freemasonry isn't for everybody. Our rituals, catechisms, monitors, and even our investigation processes explain the qualities we should look for in new members.

The Deal With Dues In Masonic Lodges
Your dues are too low. Freemasonry isn't a service club and our primary focus shouldn't be fundraising, however this is the model for the majority of US lodges. As men, we should be willing to invest in ourselves and cover our own costs for the things that are important to us. Fundraisers have become a crutch that we rely on too heavily to pay the bills and maintain our low dues. The bottom line is that dues should be set high enough to cover the operating cost of your lodge. This...

Generational Differences In Freemasonry - A Compilation
Freemasonry is in decline because of generational differences. I strongly believe that generally speaking, what many Grand Lodges (and lodges) assume Millennial masons want does not reflect what we actually expect and desire from Freemasonry. We live in a world of instant gratification, participation trophies, and cheap products. I believe that it's human nature to seek out things that are meaningful and impactful with substance and history like Freemasonry does. I think Millennials actually appreciate a respite from the fast-paced world and take great pride in being a part of something that they pu...

We vilify those with whom we disagree, and make bolder claims than we could defend.
