Masonic Royal Rumble Between Texas Grand Masters, Oh My!!!

21 minutes

In this episode, I read a Facebook post describing a fight between Texas Past Grand Masters and a Grand Master who was at the forefront of all the excitement generated in 2022.

Learn how this is related to Palm Springs Lodge No.693.

Here is the Facebook post from a Texas Grand Master Brad Billings,

My Brothers all,

I, like many of you, have heard rumors floating around for the past several weeks. Last night I received alleged charges against me that “Grand Master, G. Clay Smith, received and accepted.” These charges relate to

my conduct as Grand Master. To be completely honest, I have anticipated these charges from the moment I stood in defiance of a small group of Past Masters

and in defense of Rumsey and our Masonic Law.

On July 5th, the Grand Master sent all Texas Masons

a letter proclaiming that “it is time for all dissensions throughout the Masons in Texas to come to an immediate end.” That statement was signed by the Grand Master and all the Grand Trustees. It is now clear that the Grand Master’s statement was nothing more than mere words on a piece of paper.

There seems to be a small group of Past Grand Masters who are upset with the excitement the 2022 team brought to Freemasonry. They want to go back to what they know and control. That small group responded with secret charges against R.W Rumsey. And it appears these charges are stemming from the same source.

I will defend myself against the charges. But it seems pretty clear that I am being railroaded just like R.W. Rumsey. Luckily, Masonry taught me to have a deep and abiding faith in Divine Providence and I know it is all

for our good. (somehow).

My thoughts on this:

1-This has probably been happening for far longer than

what this is letting on to, it’s just that this Grand Master is choosing to stand up to them and fight back.

2-This is happening far more than you might expect.

Trust me, I’ve heard similar stories coming from other states.

3-Many Grand Lodges are talking the talk but are

quietly conducting business as usual. What does that mean? Simple! Get more membership by any means possible. If you want to get a better idea, just read

Past Grand Master Dwight L. Smith’s two articles called “Wither Are Traveling and Why This Confusion in the Temple. These articles were written in 1965 and

still hold true to this day.

4-Why do I even bring this up you might ask? Because

my brethren and I are experiencing something similar to this as we speak. Not the same circumstances but the same idea.

Which brings me to the reason for this podcast

episode. I will be publishing some episodes that I recently recorded with one of the brothers from my lodge and we will be talking about some of the history

of our lodge, both good and bad, and where we are now. Please listen and share and don’t be afraid to speak your truth.

Stay strong
