    I have heard so many fairy stories over the years I think not helped by the novel written by Dan Brown I've actually met people who didn't realise it was a novel they thought it was a factual book the trouble is they read the sort of nonsense and they believe that there are mad Monks running around the Louvre assassinating people I believe where they keep referring to the priory of Sion when you actually look at who was in charge of this over a couple of hundred years the whole thing cannot be anything else but the total fantasy and I don't see why people don't get it I think the problem is everybody wants to believe but don't quite know how to handle it , it's funny how many people believe in the asturian legends and in Robin Hood as being genuine stories

    In many ways Mankind has made huge advancements over the centuries , in education and technology. Yet for reasons I cannot understand the world still clings to ancient myths and fables.
    Perhaps because we have all been brainwashed from our childhood they are deeply ingrained. It also suits those who rule our world to have divisions.

    ###dont think the world would be half as interesting a place without myths or fables ....they are the things that we all are brought up with .....the mysteries we must make our own decisions on ......like for me the ark being found up the mountain ....was it the real ark ...or how did it get up the mountain......or like goliath was so many cubits and a span whatever that was ....no doubt the news editor will google that and tell us all .....but i think it would be a very dull world without our myths ie the krakon ...thought to be norske myth but a very true story .....cappy

    Fouro go to Allenby preceptory, just google it. It will show my mother Lodge and the preceptory named after general Allenby of Palestine. . If you look up past masters of Armadale lodge you may even see my own. No big secrets of earth shattering consequences. As for Dan Brown whenever he writes a novel , the membership of a lot of Masonic Lodges goes up, so you could say he is a friend of the Masonic orders. He is not a mason at the last time enquiring, he does however try to make his stories best sellers, so must be a lot who believe in them. As to Robin Hood there were many about his time, though most were called Robin Baskets. JS

    I don't know about Rob the rich but that's all the government seem to do to me is Rob everybody

    I hadn't realised that Dan Brown books that actually made masonry popular I lapsed 20 years ago basically because a new master Boot the lodge time forward by 2 hours to a 5 start and I was absolutely unable to make it he was self employed as was the wardens so it wasn't difficult for them I worked for a company I didn't finish work till 5 so they get home get showered get changed I would have did the time machine but I must admit I do miss the camaraderie and the spirit

    #127... Louis Alan is not the grand master , he was the master of the Lodge that year. Apart from being a big Lad he is well over 6 feet tall. Maybe he doesn’t wear underpants send him an email and ask him. JS
