*Facepalm*
I am an Odd Fellow, I know the ritual they mention (that just sounds bad) quite well.
Why is this still a problem people? I know the Grand Lodge sent out a memo to ALL lodges that had to be read during a meeting. Heck, I remember us joking in the meeting about the stupidity of still having a real skeleton.
For the record, we use a paper-mache skeleton in a coffin for our rituals (I SWEAR it is not what it sounds like, stupid secrecy oaths).
