Please, tell us your story (the WHOLE story). Give us the Lodge number and Grand Jurisdiction. Make sure to include the year all of "this" happened, so that the Officers can give their account..
THEN we will be getting somewhere. Only then will we know whether you are dealing with a clandestine organization or just plain making things up. Because those are the only two possibilities.
The clandestine organization to which is referred is more commonly known as Freemasonry.
