As registration is required to logon and as one has to logon there to view the forum content, I haven't been able to see what's there, and I'm not about to put my name to a site I cann't even preview. I am very disappointed with Leo. In some ways he was a better Mason BEFORE he joined. Yes, so am I. He learned the hard way that Cofield is not to be trusted, and did seen to change after he was Raised, became less tolerant towards mainstream Masonry. If one wishes one's particular version of Freemasonry to be granted respect, one must, in turn, show respect towards long established traditions. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. I joined, under another username, and have yet to post. Cofield has already quit because someone asked for proof. We are supposed to just believe whatever we are told.

This is what Cofield claims as his titles after just a year of starting this nonsense: Sir Knight BC 3°-33° -90° -97° International Deputy GM MEAPRMM/GOE 1613 Nation Administrator Secretary-Lodge Napoleon Bonaparte Knight Commander C.B.C.S. Commandery of Saint-Germain www.1613nation.orgwww.egyptianfreemasonry.orgwww.lodgenapoleon.comwww.masonica.infomagusmasonica.blogspot.comAmazing progress for a Fellowcraft that only attended two actual Masonic meetings in his life (his EA and FC degrees). The word from two individuals who quit the 1613 Nation said that Frank G. Ripel actually Raised Cofield over the phone!

Haha. That's rich. He banned me beofre I could even post. He took issue with my username. Told me I was free to re-register with a different name. He told me that magusmasonica was reserved for someone else and therefore I couldn't use it. Leo said "I know for a fact you are not Brad" I asked Leo "um, I didn't realize there was a copyright on the name" Jeesh. Some people have such a thin skin. By reserving the name, does that mean Leo acknowledges Brad to be a Masonic Magus!?

So he complained to Leo. Poor Brad had to resort to a username of BC1613, instead of his usual.

Likewise, Steve Foley pre-banned me from the Chequered Emptiness, as soon as he started it. It has become a 1613 mouthpiece, especially now that Foley has resigned (Yes, he's quit again!) from LDH (They were too "Theosophical." Strandely, UGLE was not "esoteric" enough) Yet on MFoL, when I was being urged to join Co-masonry because of my belief that the "No Women!" rule is unmasonic, I was blasted for saying that, from reports and apart from other considerations, it would not be to my taste because of its Theosophical content. BTW, as a former National Secretary of The Theosophical Society in Australia and as a current member, I have nothing against Theosophy per se.

Strandely, UGLE was not "esoteric" enough) I think it has more to do with not getting rank, even though he won't say it, on TMF he was quite fond of saying and using his RW Bro status, it would seem like if he can't get his own way, he takes his bat and ball and goes home, and if you disagree with him you are banned ( as I was), shows his masonic qualities of tolerance , respect and empthay, heck, he should join 1613 and double their membership and he could be GM for UK

he was quite fond of saying and using his RW Bro status If so, it's pathetic, being based on differing usages. My understanding is that in LDH any IM or PM is a RW Bro., based on the Scottish usage. However, in Scotland the title is attached to the office, NOT the person. Accordingly, as a PM, in a Scottish Craft lodge I would be referred to simply as Bro. Carter, Past Right Worshipful Master: NOT R.W. Bro. Carter, not even W.Bro. Carter. The same is true even of a serving G.M., who is simply "Bro. McMason," Most Worshipful Grand Master, not "M.W. Bro. McMason," Grand Master, (I believe this usage fits nicely with our egalitarian philosophy).
