The Buffs

A documentary about the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes. 1993.

[@josephlandrut4154]

my initiation into the Buffs took place during 1971 at the Alcester Warwickshire lodge but unfortunately closed down shortly after which my subscription needs to be updated now |I am age 85.

[@Twangabilly]

I believe that either my Great or Great Great Grandfather was a member. We have a huge pair of buffalo horns on a mount in the garage that belonged to him and was passed down over the generations

There's no requirement to believe in God to join, which perhaps makes them more accessible than the Freemasons

[@adrianbradley8513]

I'm not a Freemason or a Buff but I have a Christian faith. What if a man is also teetotal?

[@leannex6378]

I'm glad my grandad who recently passed was part of the raob after leaving the army ...he was not just a member for years beyond me he was a leader who part took in many charitable measures and did a lot good as well as being part of something where they looked out for each other .... so some of these videos confuse shit outta me 🤣 no secret order it's ability to do good

Harmless fun.

[@adrianbradley8513]

There is 2 RAOB lodges 1 in Belfast and 1 in Carrickfergus over here in Northern Ireland. I am in The Orange Lodge and Black Preceptory which are Protestant fraternal orders.The Black Institution members(Sir Knights) wear a blue apron after they have attained a certain degree (there are 11 of them).I've never join the RAOB I guess because I don't really drink alcohol and don't frequent Pubs although I don't hold anything against anyone who does. Its just not my thing. I also have a keen interest in Fraternal Orders and have collected a number of antique RAOB ,Oddfellows and Masonic medals and regalia although I am not a member of any of these orders.

There's buffs in Portadown and Derry

@@davidboden5791 nothing in the Buffs is political, racist, or religioius. We are all equal. I think you are commenting on the wrong order! Collecting your Jewels is an hobby to you, EARNING THEM IN THE LODGE IS AN HONOUR.

The Buff may not think one race is superior to another but why bring that up? Who mentioned racism or anything that is racist?

[@Voxac100b]

Some would have referred to it as the poor mans Masonic.

[@chriswindmill4250]

They would be very right.

[@hardingq100]

I'm a Mason & Buff. There are plenty of poor Masons. That said, you can spend as much as you want in either order, the more you do, the more it costs.

[@stephenwilson6817]

Are they

[@Ben-db5re]

Is this real or a mockup ceremony?

[@grahampayne6221]

It's for real it might differ from one order to order

[@hardingq100]

It's modified.

[@pauloakley9004]

what's not said here is that have their own discipline code where majority rules and truth goes out the window

[@Voxac100b]

Democracy a majority vote

[@dontalkt2meboutheros]

Do they have an initiation ceremony like the freemasons?

[@rossfranklin2782]

The RAOB has an initiation ceremony but unsure if it’s like the Freemasons.

[@N1611n]
