Masonic lodge tradition is failing in the United States and part of this is because the buildings are in a state of disrepair and many of the older gentleman who are running these groups are at the point where they will be dying soon and they do not have enough new blood in the group to carry them forward.

As much as they have considered the passing of the torch from the good old boy networks in many of the thousands of cities and towns in our nation it is obvious that the Masonic lodges are indeed in decay and disrepair. But why is this happening?

Well, it is happening because they misjudge the next generation and how to properly talk to them. It is happening because they wish to tell stories that are quite irrelevant to the next generation. It is happening because the Masonic lodge acts in secrecy and pretends to know some super secret. The up-and-coming generations have an inherent mistrust in large organizations and the governments.

The next generation is not interested in what the Masonic lodge has to say because they are tired of being lied to and simply Assume that when may talk to an older gentleman from the Masonic lodge that they are filling them full of BS. If the Masonic lodge tradition is not carried forward into the next generation, then it will fail.

They no longer have the political clout that they once had and the next generation perceives their tactics as underhanded, below society, secret trickery and rhetoric. The Masonic lodge tradition needs to adapt to modern times or they will pay the price of being passed by and become irrelevant to American society and civilization.

The Masonic lodge tradition needs new marketing if it is to survive. And for all you gentleman in the Masonic lodge don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, because I sure as hell do and you guys are screwing up and this might cause the end of a long tradition. You may have my advice if you wish it, but the ball is in your court now. Consider this in 2006.
