Anyone know if they are in Asia. Was reading a book about Masons amongst the North American Indians. Apparently a lot of Indian rituals had masonic format. Masons were at home with a lot of U.S. Indians in days of yore.

I was a high ranking mason until I found out about their plan for world domination. I couldn't agree and quit.

There is a lodge in Seoul. They accept Catholics. The Catholic Church does not accept people to join the masons. As far as world domination, that is more of a conspiracy theory. It assumes masons get along. This is not the case. I can give an example. Trent Lott is a mason. He is very pro-Israeli and not concerned at all with Arabs even if they are Christian. Then there is Nick Rahall of West Virginia who is a mason and cares for Lebanese Christians and Arabs. One of the most famous masons was a Jesuit who went to Central America. Thirteen of the founding fathers of the United States were masons and this included
Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. I believe Andrew Jackson was one as well. It is believed many masonic symbols are on the U.S. dollar. The ADL or B'nai Brith when it first started had many Jewish masons. They are of course having roots in Europe especially France, Scotland, and England and connect themselves to Solomon.

I am not a mason if you are wondering but have nothing against masonry or masons. I have been to a lodge before.

All English Royalty are masons from what I understand. King of England is a Grand Master or whatever the head honcho's title is.

I am envious Ryst!

Actually, Busan is an hour away by KTX, and KTX is an hour away by subway, and if I can figure out directions, perhaps I can attend Busan lodge a few times a year, now that I know its there. When I get back from the Philippines, I'll check it out.
