I'm not sure who these guys are...……...they state they are not associated with The Mason's.To my knowledge the only way into the Knights Templar is by initially being a 3rd degree Mason.Then thru further degrees,either Scottish Rite or York Rite(both advanced Masonic degrees), and actual recruitment by the various Knights Templar organizations.Without close affiliation recruitment would be all but impossible,we remain members of our original Masonic Blue Lodge regardless of how far we advance.

Speaking of schit, I was a friend of the pastor and a parishioner at this church many years ago. The pastor and I were supposed to clean the guano from the tower, but fortunately we never got around to it.

The Masonic Temple here in Philly is AMAZING. The Knights Templar Hall is something out of Camelot. All the different orders have their own halls and all are stunning. If you are ever in Philly it's worth the visit. It's right across from City Hall and looks like a Castle.

I almost joined but, my kids were young at the time and I didn't have the time to spare. There are portraits hanging in there of Washington and Franklin etc that they actually sat for. There is an AMAZING set of marble stairs that have no visible support at all. It's mind blowing. I went to a few events there. Black tie dinner's with a classical quartet playing in the back round, murder mystery dinners. Everyone was amazing. They have museums in there that have stuff that will blow your mind!

Strangely enough there seems to be no sense of occupancy at the church in Canaan. Rumor has it that they are gone and that the flag is not flying on the tower. Facebook page is gone - deleted by Facebook.
