Why a Founder's Website???
The founders website has one purpose. That
purpose is to let ALL members of the Widows Sons know
that why the Widows Sons were founded and on what the
Widows Sons were founded upon.
But...before I get started, as the founder of this great
organization, and contrary to what is being said
on forums, behind my back, in private messages and in
emails and phone calls by a handful who claim to be
giving you good information about the Widows Sons,
Due to receiving a few negative articles about my goals
for the Widows Sons , I would like to plant a thought in
your mind. Its just a thought;: When, you, a brother
receives a negative "secret" message from one brother
telling anything negative, about another brother or a
masonic organization, Are you, as a Mason,
obligated to forward a copy of that negative
correspondence you recieve to the accused brother for
verification? If this is so, and you have received
anything negative about me or my relationship with the
Widows Sons, or my personal life or anything, I
believe and would appreciate you being be fair enough to
allow me to at least verify it for you. Only then will
you have two sides of the story. Please
send any
negative info you receive(d) about me or my
relationship with the Widows Sons or even my personal
life for MY verification before sending it to anyone
else. I promise and swear to verify it within 3 business
days. If you don't send it to me for verification,
please do not send it anywhere else because you will be
spreading unverified information.
I have no desire to have any
control over the Widows Sons empire. This organization
was designed to run itself by individual jurisdictions.
The Widows Sons are owned, lock, stock and barrel by
its Grand Chapters. Each Grand Chapter is the
owner of its jurisdiction. My desire is, as it was from
the beginning day of the Widows Sons, for your
Grand Chapter to remain have full authority of its
jurisdiction without anyone from outside your
jurisdiction having any say, any consultation authority,
or influence in your business matters. My desire is for
you to run your jurisdiction as defined in your bylaws.
The Widows Sons were founded to aid and assist widows
and orphans of master masons. That was the sole purpose
and goal, but there was also a method to accomplish the
goals.
The method to accomplish the purpose of the Widows Sons
was to gather master masons in each state who ride
motorcycles and introduce them to the Widows Sons'
purpose. The rule was you have to be a master mason
first, then you could join the Widows Sons. There was no
intention to recruit into Freemasonry to stock the
Widows Sons. Mason first then a Widows Son.
The next method to reach the goal was to provide each
state with a level playing field in the power structure
of the Widows Sons. That can only be accomplished by
having each Grand Chapter in control of operating their
jurisdictions. Their jurisdiction is their property and
their charter is the deed to their property. The
Grand Chapter is the law of the land. It is the way the
Grand Lodges were set up and it has proven itself for
them for years. Autonomy was added to prevent any
person(s), group of chapters, committees, advisors or
consultants with ideas of power from gathering together
into a power block to control more than one
jurisdiction.
Therefore, the Widows Sons purpose is; to aid and assist
widows and orphans of master masons, by an organization
made up of master masons having jurisdiction only in the
state of the Grand Lodge whose jurisdiction they are
under.
This is how the Widows Sons have grown. They have grown
on the sound principles of being a master mason, and
autonomy with the goal of aiding and assisting widows of
master masons..
I have been told by a group who seek national officers
that the Widows Sons are weakly structured and lack
organization. The Widows Sons are NOT weakly structured
and are not a weak organization. They are
organized just as they were planned to be, state by
state There was no plan to have any Widows Son or any
group of Widows Sons having any authority in any
jurisdiction in a state in which they are not a
member of the Grand Lodge thereof.
