Secret societies...what do you know about them???

[svandamme]

[DARISC]

I am a member of a secret society.
I participate only in total sobriety.
I don't think that mine requires any piety.
You can't join.
Fk off.

Here's some info on Skull and Bones. Forgive the Bush politics. It's part of the landscape of this group's history.

I belong to a super secret society whose name I don't even know.

I am a member of Priory of Sion. We believe Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered a child, whose blood line we keep secrete and defend.

[svandamme]

Thx for guarding my bloodline Livi

[livi]

Stijn, from now on you shall go by the name Jesus XII.

Nah, the DEA doesn't care about militia. BATF, yes.

"The Masons arent so mysterious. My father and grandfather are both master masons. Like someone said they mostly do charity work and stuff. However masons with give "brothers" as they refer to each other business breaks and do things for them that they wouldnt for regular joes. You do have to ask to join and be approved. Cant tell you much else as some things they do are still secret."

I've been a Mason for twenty years. The Shriners (you have to be a Mason to join that group but they aren't really connected) do most of the charity work. Our local lodge has about all it can do to keep its building repaired and the utilities on (I'm the treasurer).
A Mason owned business in town did some work for us, I didn't feel we received any break.
I think if I had joined in my 20's I would have been in a position to take advantage of having lodge brothers. By the time I joined I had things pretty well under control.
At present it's mostly a bunch of old guys meeting twice/month, I rarely attend. I'm sure the membership has been declining lately, supposedly when times are tough the membership increases. We shall see.

oi, not enough bowing to me.
And while at it... send cash too, i don't need it being who i am, but it shows your loyalty, and that's what it's all about .
