Benjamin Franklin's brotherhood was given a name that stood for structure and community building; not destruction.

LBJ once said that BF(Benjamin Franklin) was blessed with tremendous ingenuity but his writings were not books of prophecy while he certainly believed in God. Also, it seems that someone may have ripped out a page or two since any man who discovered the uses of electricity hoping to make his family's life easier would not allow anyone to mistreat his wife or family in the name of brotherhood, associations and connections or in the hopes of getting brotherly assistance. No book designed with the purpose of brotherhood should injure a brother or his family with the fear that if one is helped without offering something or losing something, he may have a sense of respect or authority that could threaten another friend or brother's ego necessitating that he should be humbled after his receipt of help or before the help if he did well in something by the simple rules of hard work and faith. Benjamin's book was not a sword to unravel the word of God or to work against God honoring community or family but to give a man a sense of extended family, brotherly assistance, a leg up or association in the new and emerging modern world that took men to cities and away from family farms, natural kinship networks, salmon-filled habitats and lands full of wild deer with fresh water from the river to satiate the big fat belly or the small, little belly. A hard working 1960's or 1990's graduate in the same city dedicated to Benjamin Franklin's memory or the other city down the road should not be a victim with a missing knee cap, toe or molars simply because he did not join the membership and because he might have worked hard following principles in the other book Benjamin Read every day(the bible) that extols the virtue of hard work and prayer. Benjamin Franklin was not double minded and he should not be dishonored with any organisation that has wickered his writings or reprinted incomplete versions of his books thereby unraveling the country he loved and founded so dearly. People are spending a lot of time with Benjamin's electricity, advocating for a wickered version of the life Benjamin envisioned for families, wives, husbands and children. There are some pages missing from Benjamin's book that made it contrary to brotherhood to break the ten commandments or to ask any member to do so in anyway by hurting his family. Benjamin Franklin's brotherhood was given a name that stood for structure and community building; not destruction and the unraveling of community or the covering of the family unit itself. Unlike those Horror movies, lock the family cabin door and do not walk out into the woods by yourself at night.
