Well spoken Brother!

Yeah, that's why i smile every time my European friends from Finland (where i grew up) are telling me about how Masons in Helsinki are actively "recruiting" people supposedly for dark conspiracies.

"It's really not safe in our schools lately, Masons have been actively recruiting younger minds these last two years....." - after those words i can barely restrain myself from breaking out and laughing out loud.

ADD: Though... Helsinki Grand Lodge separated from NY Lodge which sponsored it, so who knows what they doing. Went to their site and saw that requirements we have here in US, and in Great Britain, are not upheld. Requirements for membership that is.... So who knows...

:-) I do not know what our finnish Brethren do, but alas, I know there is a strong antimasonic current there, influenced by conspiracy theories. I does now and then spill over on Sweden as well...unfortunatelly.
