I’ll be joining the Elks tomorrow night. I’ve been a past worshipful master in the Masonic temple and a ritualist in the Shriners. I can’t imagine any ritual being any better than that!! I’m only joining for the bar!! 😂
Absolutely worth reaching out to a local lodge and exploring membership. My membership has been filled with many positive memories, good friendship, personal growth, and an elevated sense of civic duty towards my fellow man.
Its a definite conflict for a person of faith, glad I understood that. If something is secret probably best you don't ignore that. It would basically denounce my faith, theres a reason for that, its not accidental.
What's with all the weird comments. It's literally a charity organization. Yea, it can be a bit dramatic and eccentric but it was started in the 1800's by NY thespians as a drinking club that evolved into a charity club. Anyone can join....there's no secrets. The only exclusive part is that meetings can only be attended by members. But there's nothing stopping anyone from applying and being accepted. Our lodge hosts Monday night football, dinners, dances, and car shows with the proceeds going to charity. The only requirement is to believe in a higher power and not be a communist trying to overthrow the US government. Whoa, so crazy....😂
What's the difference between Elks and Freemasons? Whats the benefits of being a Elk? Also I'm tatted head to toe. I have face tattoos as well. Can I still be a Elk?
The elks Club is nothing more than an alcoholics Club full of people who just bitch moan and complain about the other elks. The elks club is great if you're an alcoholic who wants to get alcohol drinks cheap
Also individual lodges have their own individual rules....... There have been lodges out there that do not except membership from people who may have disabilities.

I’m honored to be an Elk. This video is misleading though. A bit all over the place and inaccurate. However, even if it were accurate, you wouldn’t know until you join 😉

This is supposed to be a reverent and special ceremony; secret to all those who do not intend to become members. Going through the ritual is supposed to be an impressive and distinguished ceremony. It is not to be recorded in any fashion. Having this video on TH-cam is border line violation of Grand Lodge Statutes. The Order of Elks is an all American organization, dedicated to God, country, our kids and our veterans. Please respect it.
This is crazy. This is no different than freemasons. Those who say the Elks is totally different! Are absolutely just plain ignorant. You are to have only 1 master. And not make secret oaths. This WHOLE ceremony has EXTREME spiritual significance. Just like the rituals in freemasonry have spiritual significance to entities that are unseen, yet have definite influence on the physical world, most definitely spiritual world. 💯 These are plain facts.
I agree. The Elks are a charity organization. There are a lot of misleading videos about secret societies that insist every lodge is ending in satanic sacrifice or something. Lodges are having a very hard time initiating younger members and I hope that these important community centers will survive through the next generations.

if you were just looking to get a deal on drinks,, the Elks is not the place for you. True there are good deals on food and drink for it's members but there is a lot more available to any one who is looking to get involved. I suggest that you ask an Elk and then decide.
God will judge all of you very soon. You’re followers of Satan whether you are aware of it or not!!! This is a luciferian religion and organization. You all need prayer and to become biblically literate.
To all other brother Elks don’t pull this record your lodge ritual work for public display! This guy has not been educated right and probably means well. But, good intentions sometimes are golden brick road to Hell! Have respect for those Elks who made our Order come about and respect the words “Tiled Lodge”…. That means Private basically!
Your analysis that people engage in slow love and wait to get married is nonsense. They frequently move in and out of relationships, lacking the deep commitment necessary for lasting bonds, which lead to higher divorce rates evident in society.
Yes! The dumb mother fuckers do not get fraternal orders and what intimations are suppose to be and what their not suppose to be! Their not supposed to be on any made video! This lodge should have its charter pulled for making this video and every Elk in this video should have charges put on them to kick them out! Especially the asshole who put this video up for public viewing! If I was the grand, the first thing I do in office is pull this guys lodge charter!
Initiation is suppose to be experiential and not shared openly! Every ones initiation is suppose to be an experience, when you give away like this you ruin the whole inception of what a initiation is to be for the initiate and for the members being reminded of their obligation and esoteric meanings of the ritual verbiage while you sit on the side lines. Really initiations are for the members not the Canidate! Who ever allowed this crap to take place on video is to me very offensive, whether the GL okayed this video or not! This is so disrespectful to those Elks who came before us and now mealiness to those who watch this video and go through the Elks initiation. So disrespectful every one involved in the making of this video should be ashamed! This is fucked up, PERIOD!
My husband is a veteran and ge never received a cent from any organization. Sometimes i see advertisement on tv about buy ??? and you are helping a veteran. Totally false. I think all donations go to scam. We requested to be elks, but it cost 100 dollars for membership and is necessary to be recommended by an elk. They dont care to help veterans. There are not free food for vets at elks. No discount on membership for veterans.
If you saw an advertisement on TV for or about the Elks It was a scam. The Elks do not advertise on TV nor do they need to. They Elks Do care about and the Veterans and do several things in their communities and nationally to supports veterans and veterans services. Veterans charity is the Elks number one charitable focus, In fact the Elks Organization built the first field hospital during world war one and the elks started what is today known an the GI dill. One of the Elks national motto's is as long as there are veterans they will never be forgotten. it is true there is a member ship fee, there is a discount offered once and some times twice a year to any american citizen. With the privilege of membership you you will be a member of the national organization and will be entitled to all of its rights and privileges at any Elks lodge in the united states and it's territories.
We as Elks DO take care about our Veterans. We also support our community. Just our lodge has donated over 4 million dollars since we opened in the 1800 hundreds. While the dues are unique to every lodge, that depends on the overhead and assorted costs to maintain and operate the lodge. I encourage you to do some research. We are a good bunch. The video you just saw is basically for competition within the order. The primary reason is to insure that the officers are delivering the ritual correctly. I have committed to memory 5 of the major chairs,, (parts). It is no small endeavor to do so. The Elks were started by a group of theater actors in the 1800s. One of their fellow actors came across hard times. The group helped him and decided the idea should be shared with others. I hope this helps.
@Brad Morrison He did miss speak. While we didn't "start the GI bill" we were the catalyst to it. We started a program prior, and a lot was borrowed from the Elks to create the GI bill. It is very well documented.
What the fuck are you ignorantly rambling about? You are disrespectfully wrong on everything your tried to write about Trummp! That’s about the most Elks do is help veterans and raise money for college kids scholarships, it’s called ENF! Elks National Fund and the Elks have given multi-millions in charity to kids who need financial help in going to colleges or major Universities around the world! Don’t write about what you think you know and then it turns out your ignorance becomes you! Elks do tons of charity period. That’s about all the Elks do now charity, charity, charity! Good lord your ignorant lady!
I’ll be joining the Elks tomorrow night. I’ve been a past worshipful master in the Masonic temple and a ritualist in the Shriners. I can’t imagine any ritual being any better than that!! I’m only joining for the bar!! 😂
So you worship the devil?
The fact that this wasn't supposed to be shown only makes it more fascinating!
Now I know I can’t trust an Elks member with a secret that’s for sure!
I was a active 32° freemason 6 yrs and became disillusioned and quit, this looks almost identical. I'm thinking about joining the elks?
Absolutely worth reaching out to a local lodge and exploring membership. My membership has been filled with many positive memories, good friendship, personal growth, and an elevated sense of civic duty towards my fellow man.

Don’t talk Elks ritual over public view! What kind of Elk are you???
The kind that doesn't keep secrets??? LOL. My neighbor left them, too.
What's the difference between Elks, Oddfellows and Freemasons?
Pretty certain none of this is supposed to be on TH-cam anyhow
That’s correct whether the Elks Grand Lodge okayed it or not! This video should be deleted!

Women were allowed to be Elks members in 1994
Listen and I mean this with love of my heart, you dodged a serious bullet. Once you start diving into this kind of a religion it is very uncool
Sounds like a cult.
