I guess you need steer clear of the principles of your nation also if that is the case.
Lets seem them, if that is so.
So you also have no problem with the Free Masons?
Your own source says that the three listings are mistakes! That sometimes happens, and anyone can compile a list if they choose to. For some years Neil Armstrong was listed because somebody thought he was a Mason and of course was proud of the fact. But he was not.
That is not what I said. The founders of your nation were free mason also and the capital full of it's symbolism. so I guess your problem isn't limited to Sally Ann.
Church of Christ and Charismatics are doctrines that include works

I think you're right about this. And that would go for the Disciples as well. So I think we should correct the record for the benefit of our inquirer. The fact is that the Churches of Christ do stress the necessity of works but not as contributing in themselves to salvation. Here is a sentence I took from one local congregations website that I think illustrates the point:I don't see "Church of Christ" or the "Church of the Nazarine" type churches as believing that works are a requirement in the salvation process. They state salvation is not of works, and they hold to Wesleyan holiness theology.
'The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)'
It may depend on what one means by "works". If they mean attempts to win salvation through maintaining Jewish laws, then many may not agree with that. However, if they mean the practice of Christian behavior (like James speaks of), then I believe most churches would feel it is necessary.
BTW I believe Paul and James were in complete agreement, but used to term "works" to refer to different things.
If by "works" you mean works of obedience to God then yes on must go on to live an obedient life as stated in this position paper by the Missionary Church, USA.

Methodists are very works oriented they believe in Christian perfection.
Not seeing the problem with Free Masonry is troubling. Are you a Free Mason?
Your response has absolutely nothing to do with what i said (purposeful avoidance?) and purposely twisting what i said falls under the category of false witness does it not?
because you said words that in effect made me think that there is no problem with it because of our founding fathers were Free Masons.
