EP 197 Why Does Freemasonry Keep Repeating the Same Mistakes? Dwight L. Smith Chapters 4–6

from Masonic Muscle Hosted by The Origin War Has Begun

Why does Freemasonry keep repeating the same mistakes? In this episode of Masonic Muscle, we continue through Dwight L. Smith’s Why This Confusion in the Temple? and ask why his warnings still sound current. Weak education. Poor leadership. Vague purpose. Declining standards. Institutional comfort. Activity without transformation. These are not new problems. That is the troubling part. This episode solves one Masonic problem: why does the Craft keep diagnosing the same issues without fixing them? Before a lodge can improve, it has to stop lying to itself. Have an origin theory, Masonic question, old document, book recommendation, lodge problem, or research lead?
