at library, saw a book about freemason that has many pictures/photos in it, including a embroidered figures of a beehive with bees on an apron etc.....its a japanese translation though.

the original title of the book: "Freemasonry: Symbols, Secrets, Significance "

heres jpn version: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%95%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B9%E3%83%B3%E3%81%AE%E3%81%99%E3%81%B9%E3%81%A6%E2%80%95%E3%81%9D%E3%81%AE%E6%AD%B4%E5%8F%B2%E3%83%BB%E8%B1%A1%E5%BE%B4%E3%83%BB%E7%A7%98%E5%AF%86-W-%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF-%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3/dp/4422202685


in its chapter 3, one photo shows a plate(pottery) which has about 20 various painted figures of the symbols....one of which depicts a drowning person catches a rope......this one deinitely is 'rescue' related, isnt it??

"....it is his aid and rescue his fellow....."

so, the 64m dollar question is: what if president monson, described as a rescusser in his biography, is, in fact, a mason???

does it matter or doesnt???

brigham, heber c, et al were masons, so, its not far-fetched to assume some current church leaders are also masons??

(says somewhere, a list of a branch of skull and bones society, u of u is open to the public and so far three church leaders are found....)

(....at the funeral of pres hinckley, masons sent, for the first time, a message of condolence....a prophet 'beloved' by masonry too??)
