I believe we are associated with the Elks in the USA.
I do not believe that Fred Flintstones Water Buffaloes are related - although the (secret) handshake does look the same - and I forget what Mr. C's (Happy Day's) Fez wearing Lodge Members were called.
The Mason's here in Oz say that they are not a "Secret Society" but a "Society with Secrets"!
I was continually pestered by a non-member who wanted to know the 'secret' handshake so to get rid of him I told him that it was just like a normal handshake except that you had to stick the forefinger of your other hand up your nose whilst doing so. He went round everybody in the pub shaking hands in this manner and everybody thought he'd lost his marbles.
Sorry, just thought I'd add my two-centsworth.

Don't you wish you had told him the other thumb went up his arse, instead of his nose?

Off topic but I'd like to point out that you obviously have a GREAT sense of humor and seem to be good natured and I sincerely appreciate that , some here can be so stuffy.

I only visit this site , I'd love to know of more.

I am not a member of any secret society nor do I wish to be.

Thanks for your contribution and DEW make it a point to spread your lovely disposition far and wide on these threads

Thank you!

I believe one's sense of humor is as important as common sense, because common sense dictates a laugh is better than a frown. Plus, a good sense of humor is good for the body, a frown is good for no-body.

WOW!
Really ATS? Really?
So the guy has spelling errors and doesn't seem to want to change the way he spells things. GET OVER IT. This isn't a "see how many spelling and grammar errors I can correct" forum.

The OP was simply asking for information on what other sites people that frequent ATS also look at. As well as information on secret societies. So he believes the free masons are secret society and you don't consider them "secret" enough. Then point him in the right direction for information. Don't sit there and belittle him.

How's that old saying go? If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all? Clearly I haven't done that and neither have most of the people that replied to this topic.


Back to the OP's I only visit ATS (much less often than I used to, mostly because this forum has slowly filled up with people who would rather insult you than have an actual discussion about ANYTHING) in regards to secret societies and anything else that doesn't fit into FOX 11's 10 o' clock news broadcast.

An error is only an error if it's an error.

Anotherwords, if the error is intentional, it isn't an error.

The Perfection in Imperfection Paradox.

To error or kNot to error, that is the question.
