[quote:jagerman:MV8yMzg5MjNfNDgwOTg1MF8xOUY4OEU3NQ==] allright you guys, you have been at this for a while. i got bored and thought about joining the knights templar, but i wanted to find the oldest one. i type in the search and find this thread on google. i read all of the stuff, from page one to now. all i can assume is that you are all really bored. all except Highlander, who shows a real interest in the knights templar, and that zadok dude, i think you are just an insane old guy who knows alot of random bits that can be assembled in an incoherent rant. but on the whole you guys have been a great help and i figure the only way to go is to go to Switzerland or Scottland and find the oldest priories in the area and try to get invited in or however the hell that works. but to do that ( me being an 18 yearold in the heartlands of the USA) you would have to up root your life to join an old decrepit brotherhood or frat or whatever you feel like calling it. if you feel like trading your entire life for an adventure in the alps or the highlands, well go you. i would probably be right there with you. but it becomes more apparent that it does not matter how old each seperate prior or sect is. all that matters is that the ideals and goals and actions remain true to the original crew's. which seems to be a blind true passion at the lowest level of enlistment, but nothing more than a real money scam. only something like 3% of the KT were field troops in the middle east. the rest were bankers and so on. and dont think, that as soon as the crusades were over the last grandmaster was not pleading to kings for another crusade. because without it there was no reason to maintain their operations other than greedy financial gain. the whole set up of the banks and the land and all of that was to support the troops in the field. so when there is no field to support, you struggle to maintain a reason. if the original group only lasted 200 years, and the "new order" has lasted almost 300 years, what is the rush to try and join an inferior instalation? obviously the "new order" of templars plays a more effective role than the now defunct "first order" could have ever played. and as far as i am concerned with the swiss and the templars, it is more than obvious that the Templars played an omniportant role in the creation in the nation. what business do a bunch of swiss pesants have overthrowing their kings? it is obvious that the templars need a place to crash that was safe. they had one last harrah on the field of battle and trained a bunch of peasants to be warriors just good enough to support the knights templar in their cause. afterwars they pursued only the maintanance of their borders and banking. just look at the damned swiss flag. Switzerland should just be renamed "The last true stronghold of the Poor Temple Knights". But other than all of that. Hell yeah i would join up. what are the benefits? [/quote]
