Any Odd Fellows Here?

I never gave fraternal organizations much thought until lately when I came across some titles in the bookstore about freemasonry. There seems to be something cultish about freemasonry. Why are they so secretive? They’re known as the word’s oldest secret society. There are so many of these organizations and I wondered if membership has dwindled since there are so many other things these days to keep people occupied.

Does anyone belong to any of these fraternal or military organizations?

Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
Fraternal Order of Eagles
Freemasonry or The Order of Free and Accepted Masons
Order of the Eastern Star (Branch of the Masons for Men & Women)
The Shrine of North America (Shriners)
Independent Order of Odd Fellows (Rebekahs for Women)
Kiwanis International
Knights of Columbus
Lions Club International
Jaycees
Rotary International
The Grange
Veterans of Foreign Wars
The American Legion
These are just a few. Anyone here belong to any of these organizations? I’d join but I’m afraid that someone would always be asking me to bake a pie or something. Just kidding.

Grandpa: Ok, I’m an Elk, a Mason, a Communist, the president of The Gay and Lesbian Alliance for some reason. Oh, here it is… The Stone Cutters.

Freemasons have womens orders now.

For your involvement in such a thread, you have all been reported to the Conspiracies in Homeland Investigation Bureau, (CHIB’s).

You are all now on double secret probation and special kosher watch.

obw’s avatar is a scottish rite freemason now that the templars are outlawed. hows solomon’s gold doing, obw? fueling the economy of switzerland?

(the 9 original knights templar started the order ostensibly to protect pilgrims. they made solomons temple their homebase and there is clear evidence that someone at that time excavated the basement, which was certainly packed with treasure at some point. in the 14th century, knights templar, which, over the next few hundred years had become an extremely powerful multi-national money lending corporation, almost definetely the most powerful non-military entity that ever existed on earth until that point, were banned and arrested by the king of france who was greatly in debt to them along with most if not all other european monarchs. within a few years, the scottish freemasons switched from talking about stonemasonry, with which the cathedral building templars are very familiar, to talking about ‘philosophy’, very secretly. also within a few years, the country of switzerland was formed out of all the separate tribes that were in the area. the legend they use to describe this event includes mysterious knights dressed in white who showed up out of nowhere and helped unify the tribes. sorry i just find this amazingly interesting and i couldnt just leave that extremely esoteric sentence i first wrote by itself.)

also, im sure we all know that dubya and kerry were both in skull and bones at yale. i think a rarely mentioned but important addendum to this obvious conspiracy is that there is absolutely nobody who can be described as a worse opponent against bush. pompous speeches with big words, the same lack of information in those speeches, $1000 haircuts, hating the vietnam war and therefore the troops and therefore america. kerry was not the best choice, he was the worst choice = conspiracy.

:laughing: =D> :laughing:

At the boarding school I went to, membership was positively encouraged…although I of course did not partake. Much.

These conspiracy groups are fun and dandy, but there are watchers who watch these watchers, and if they fuck up the opportunity to achieve human solidarity…well, they eat the bullet. The free masons and the illuminati, despite their bullshit mystical beliefs, are granted the right to seize power and take control of this earth. But the very second the institution shows any signs of corruption, its dead meat. No questions asked.

This message goes out to those who are involved in said groups. The others will call me mad, and that’s fine…your opinions are irrelevent. Remember watchers…you are being watched. I was ordered to tell you this by certain “custodians” of this solar system. Call it detrops wager. If I’m lying, then it doesn’t matter, but if I’m telling the truth, you had better play your cards right.

Carry on.

“…I have to draw you…”

obw, anything suggesting a clear connection to templars? gothic architecture? baphomet? gay spooning?

detrop, didnt you get the memo? we are supposed to be destroying them now! im just getting some pro-custodian rants out on this message board while i amass my legions. meet me at north dakota NORAD facility#23 on july 4th. this message will self destruct, sorry ben.
