Talk:Firm Bound in Brotherhood

A note for all those OA brothers out there - As a Brotherhood member member of a ceremonies team of a Connecticut Lodge, I would like to ask that any Brother thinking about adding to this page more than should be there is only spoiling the true meaning of the Brotherhood. Only those who have been prepared for the honor of membership in our Order should have access to the customs and traditions of our Brotherhood.

As a Vigil Honor member, Associate Chapter adviser, former youth officer, Ordeal Master, and Ordeal Adviser, I respectfully disagree with your contention and your removal of song lyrics from this article, and the full WWW words from the Order of the Arrow article. The article in its entirety was researched to be within National Office guidelines for safeguard, and as Gentgeen stated in the Talk:Order of the Arrow comments to you, the National Office itself publishes this material to be freely available to anyone who wishes it. The element of "spoiling" is absent from any article discussing the Order, and I would encourage you in the future to discuss your feelings in the talk spaces for the articles prior to removing any content. This content does not, nor has not violated the National Safeguard, nor would we as members of the Order intentionally publish any material that would do so. KC9CQJ 05:23, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And anyway, anyone the least bit interested could check the history to find the lyrics in a few seconds. - Pureblade | ^Θ 02:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
