Purpose
Greetings to all of my Brothers,
After many years of struggle and finally crossing into the light and now being on the other side and seeing the inner workings of the brotherhood as well as hearing and seeing the diverse attitudes of brothers as it pertains to various situations and things within...it now brings to question if we have lost a sense of our purpose....
It is of great question mainly because in light of our historical background ,which thankfully myself and my brothers were well educated in, it seems that we ourselves have lost our way by getting caught up in our own egoes. So maybe it is just me but does anyone else feel that we need to revisit the foundations on which we our brotherhood was laid...and what we are truely about.
It seems that we fight amongst ourselves about things that none of us really control as well as ...focus on the things that amount to nothing as opposed to those things on which our very brotherhood is built.
I mean HAVE WE TAKEN STEPS BACKWARDS???????

Are you a new brother? Seems so. If that is the case, let me share 3 words with you....discretion, discretion, discretion. This is not an Alpha only board.

Is that really considered putting out too much information and not being discreet? Everyone knows that things have changed across the board with D9 orgs and their founding principles amongst certain members. It's even been discussed in GC threads. It's not like he pointed out chapters, lines, and/or members. Just wondering.

Yes, it's called "Organizational Business". Nothing to do with secrets or whatever else people who do not belong to organizations imagine we have going on,  it's just a matter of keeping Alpha business "Alpha Business". That's all I have to say about that.

It's called HUMANITY. You knew about it before you crossed so don't act brand new.
I am skeptical of Neos or newer members with opinions. LOL. You haven't been in the fold long enough to get a full perspective. This should be an exciting time in which your eyes are wide open to all the possibilities--even if they aren't presented to you in a rosey package. Spend less time being a critic and armchair theorist and spend more time in the trenches, living out this lifetime commitment. That will give you less time to sit around pondering about why the dandelions don't always grow in the fields. When you're working hard others will follow suit--or they won't but that won't stop you from doing what you need to do even if you have to make some changes in the chapter or go outside of your chapter.
