The Odd Fellows is truly a great organization. I’ve been a member of several fraternal organizations and hands down my favorite is the Odd Fellows. FLT

Can I become a Oddfellow if I'm heavily tatted from head to toe, including face tattoos? What's the difference between Oddfellows and Masons?

⁠You're really commenting on every video

Lol between jesters and lodge on top of work,wife and kids,competitive surfing I don’t know if I could find the time but I’m sure I could hahaha. Good luck on your travels brother

[@darknoble1151]

oh and thanks to them for letting us have a look.

My great grandmother was a Rebekah and part of a lodge in Saratoga CA I never really knew much about the organization I ask my mother who went to a few meetings the only thing she told me was there was alot of secrets.

[@CoolestLife]

The "secrets" are passwords and handshakes. Most everything else you can find online. It is a fraternity.

[@adrianbradley8513]

I'm a brother in the Orange Order,Royal Arch Purple Chapter and a Sir Knight in the Royal Black Institution but not a Freemason etc. The orders that I am a member of are all Protestant in nature and candidates have to be Protestants. I also confer all the degrees in these orders ie Orange Order 2 degrees, Royal Arch Purple Chapter 1 degree and Royal Black Institution 11 degrees. I know that all theses orders including the ones mentioned in the video are very similar in emblems and "secrets" eg a 3 stepped ladder representing faith,hope and charity feature in the Royal Arch Purple degree and Black Sir Knights wear blue aprons with a compass and square with the letter G in the centre. I'd love to join the Oddfellows but their are no lodges over here in Northern Ireland where I live and even in Scotland and England alot of Oddfellows lodges/branches have changed into Friendly Societies without degrees and regalia.

Very interesting!!! Thank you so much...i found a grouping of the graves in a local Graveyard...im interested in information in the Organization as well as the WOW...woodsman of the world...im looking at all graveyards in my state to find more...there also was a Mason area and Veterans of Spanish American War

[@junicohen7918]

Woodsmen still exist.

[@CoolestLife]

There is not much differences, but their qualifications to join can vary by jurisdiction.

[@WizardsPath-if5oq]

@@CoolestLife Do you know how I can find black Oddfellow lodges? It's not listed on the GUOOF website

[@kelliintexas3575]

Greg Reese has a MINDBLOWING Documentary all sourced and sighted on them. Their breeding programs, train & fair distribution routes. Their sister order Rebekah too.

[@CoolestLife]

Sounds like a hocus pocus conspiracy theory to me. I saw a guy try to do one about Masons. He was so way off it was laughable.

[@canyonshep]

Yo bro you gonna debate a cheratable good thing or join and benefit yourself and the community or what.

[@williamreeder3660]

Great video

[@darknoble1151]

awesome. I've always been interested in oddfellows. I may know a lodge member or two that are members. They rivaled us in numbers at one point in the US. much respect...would love to know more

[@Son.of.Saturn]

And the others are lodge members but not members?

[@junicohen7918]

My lodge has the level changes

[@blaydetroiani8563]

Your missing alot look up the ioof orphanage this huge beautiful place that's falling apart but it has so much history used to have trains that brought orphans there had there own school dentists and all

[@kelliintexas3575]

THIS!!! And selling the orphans at fairs!

[@thecowfy]

Well my Dad was a Mason,& an Oddfellow. I have vague understanding of it's functions, & intents. My own travel thru life has been a bit wild so I wasn't a person for organizations like your good one. I respect ,& honor the Oddfellows, & Masons.

[@Zeromuls]

Can you ask your dad, whcih one is better? Lol

[@patriciashupe8802]

Is this in Virginia?

[@CoolestLife]

Yes they have Virginia chapters, but this one was in Columbus GA.

[@Yeolde777]

are you also a freemason? thank you for the video. I find both interesting, but mever knew anything about odd fellows.

[@wilbertlemuel1124]

Check us out! You’ll find that we are very welcoming in the Odd Fellows, and unique.

[@CoolestLife]

Yes I am a Freemasonry and a past master of two lodges.

@@CoolestLife What's the difference between oddfellows and freemasons?

[@CoolestLife]

@@Heartless-oi3sp big difference. Odd fellows are like the masons but different. Comparison, masons would be Coke and Odd fellows would be RC.

[@Heartless-oi3sp]

@@CoolestLife What's the difference between the 2?

[@elevatedgrubgardens118]

do you accept anyone and how long to achieve 33

[@CoolestLife]

33rd is a Scottish Rite degree. The fastest that can happen in GA is about 9 years. Other statess may differ.

[@StephanieRolfer]

Is it like freemasonry ? or more like Elks ? I want to know more about it.

[@CoolestLife]

More like freemasonry due to it being a fraternity not just a social club.

[@rk-ec7kx]

Nope not for me, we're not supposed to be a member of secret societies or take oaths

[@CoolestLife]

Oaths? you mean like a politician, or someone in the military, or a doctor, or a lawyer. Can they take an oath? They can? And what is so secret when they have a sign on the door. Not a very good secret. LOL

Mike west what happens to those who try press people against thier freewill to join your fraternity. Mike west Gainesville FL

[@kayjay9383]

No one is pressured to do ANYTHING against their will. In fact, one of the charges that we all accept AND ARE GIVEN CHANCE TO DECLINE AND LEAVE . The charge reads as follows we trust that we are imposing on you no obligation that in later life you may regret. Will you endeavor to emulate the example of the good Samaritan and attempt to do good to those in need ? The candidate answers. Will you assist in performing the duties enjoined upon theOdd Fellows‘s to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan ? You may not realize how difficult other duties you’re about to assume. Our work as a constant war with selfishness. Think of the sacrifices implied in that great commandment “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself .”Pause and reflect! You may be summoned from the pleasures of life to stand at the bedside of anguish. Having given you this admonition, IT BECOMES MY DUTY TO ADVISE YOU THAT IF YOU FEEL YOU CANNOY PERFORM THESE DUTIES YOU ARE PRIVILEGED TO LEAVE WITHOUT ANY SHAME. Remember, the candidates petition US to join. We do not recruit. People come from all walks of life, all countries, all ethnic backgrounds to join us. All we ask is that they believe in a Supreme being maker and preserver of the universe, and they want to help make the world a friendlier place.
