Brother Knights.... It Continues!

For those who might remember, I had the mason situation with my 3rd degree exemplification that a lot of you provided some really great advice on. It had seemed that with the involvement of the District Deputy, State Advocate, and the sit down with the Chaplain, that everything was fine.

During our council's BINGO events and various other things that are open to the community, the mentioned brother is still showing signs that I am catching. I see him doing masonic gestures when at rest, and when he embraces certain people that also frequent our events, THEY DO MASONIC HANDSHAKES - making sure they make all points of contact that are necessary during their embrace.

I'm clearly the only one who's catching these things and is aware of them, and I am unsure of what to do. Do I watch for a while and just log dates and times for the cameras to pull up? Do I go to the Chaplain again? I feel like an asshole at this point, but the whole thing is just so strange. If you are not active anymore, and you officially denounced your masonic affiliation with the chaplain, why are you still living out the fellowcraft and being a master mason at heart? This is clearly still affiliating yourself with the freemasons and gaining privilege and fellowship still with other masons through sharing masonic greetings.

Now that I know it isn't something my council is willingly allowing, how do I go about this in a way that handles this once and for all? Cause obviously advocates and chaplains and the organization operate on trust and going by what people say, so if he continues to say one thing, but I'm the only one seeing another, I just worry I'm being a pest at this point. Once again, any advice is appreciated as I try to navigate my route forward on this.

Thank you again.

Fraternally,

Sir Knight OG
