Anyone who really believes that they are only a member for 4 years automatically reveals that they lack the character that our respective organizations each call upon us to possess in order to call ourselves brothers or sisters.

To believe you are a member for 4 years only requires that you lie to your brothers or sisters when you participate in the most solemn, sacred rite that the organization and you brotherhood/sisterhood can offer.

I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb when I mention that most GLO's even consider you to be a brother/sister after death!

If you agree to such a thing and then can only hold such a longstanding promise for 4 years I'd say you don't deserve to be in the organization at all!
