I am in two minds about Robert Lomas. He is hugely enthusiastic and a good speaker for Freemasonry, but he often talks cobblers. Have a look at this article It’s time to end the mistaken beliefs about Freemasonry.
There is this strange paragraph.What in tarnation is he going on about? Has anyone ever heard that before?

What were Solomon's Seals. I have read and reread the original post and can see no mention of Solomon's Seals. Have you posted in the right thread?

I thought you were a drive-by threader and abandoned it. You do not seem to want to respond to posts(the result of). As of Solomon's Seals, I did not want to re-post.
The 1st and 2nd post pg.4
linkThere seems to be a lot of card carriers here, that's unfortunate... I have move posts to another thread in religion and deleted my posts here. As soon as peter does I'll finish whats left. Hope that’s OK with you Peter?
All good?
It would be really fantastic if you could do the same in the thread called staffs.proboards.com/threads/recent/7701. Someone fucked up the entire thread. God knows who.

I agree that Robert Lomas is hugely enthusiastic and a good speaker for Freemasonry. I believe he has done a lot to help improve the general public's understanding of Freemasonry. As he is a speculative Freemason, it's only too natural that some of his ideas are speculative (pun intended), and like all speculative ideas, some might veer off course into the long grass and get lost. But his general aim feels sincere. As he's a Yorkshireman in England (therefore UGLE), a bit of tribal loyalty (and hackles) will arise if he promotes the rival claims of GLoS to be older. But many UGLE members have short memories that their Constitutions was created by a Scotsman (even if he was a Lowland Scot, and knew not the Gaelic). James Anderson’s book of Constitutions was published in 1738 at the request of the Grand Lodge of England. James Anderson was a Scottish Mason and a member of the Lodge of Aberdeen. James Anderson drew on an older Scottish manuscript by William Schaw in 1598. William Schaw was the King’s Master Mason and Warden General to the craft. He drew up a code of trade regulations, customs and a code of conduct that Scottish masons followed. These were known as the Schaw Statutes. A part of this is now in the general domain thanks to the BBC and a very recent documentary on the history of the Grand Masonic Lodge of Scotland. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b09wfrjy/secrets-of-the-masons
