OK all you Templars.  There are nearly 100 of you who have become "Registered Readers" (THANK YOU very much!).  I think that it is time to start some communication amongst ourselves.  You will find below this article, and all articles on the web site, a little "balloon" with "post a comment" beside it.  If you don't see the balloon, log in and it should become visible and you will see below that several text boxes for entering your comment. 

Here is what I propose: Leave us a short note.  Anything goes, within decorum please,  a simple hello, a brief description of yourself, why you find the Templars to be so interesting.  YOU decide.  You will find posted comments to the right of every article just above the right hand column.

Let's start to share our insights with one another.  We don't have to become "best friends", but we can SHARE with one another.

I encourage you to also comment upon any of the articles that you find interesting and thereby share your insights with others.  This way we can learn from one another--as instructors AND as students. 

Be patient.  Be kind.  Be helpful.  Be loving, and we can encourage each other along our Templar paths. 

If you have more to communicate than just brief comments, the next step is to visit our Forums and participate in the topics there.  We have a whole Templar World before us and we want to be a place where we can share with one another, learn from one another, and even disagree from time to time, but ALWAYS with Templar Decorum.

Don't know exactly what that is?  The historic Templars vowed that they would never strike any brother, nor touch him angrily or wrathfully either with  fist or the sole of the foot, nor pull him by the hair or kick him with the foot. "And if you strike him with a stone, or staff, or a sharp weapon with which you might kill or wound him with one blow, your habit will be at the mercy of the brothers, whether to take it from you or to let you keep it."

Further they were instructed "Nor should you ever call a man a miser, stinking or a traitor, nor any other vile words, for all vile words are forbidden us, and all courtesies are permitted and good."

But these are not the only rules of decorum   The historic Templars were instructed at their ordination "Now we have told you the things which you should do and what you should guard against, and those which lead to expulsion from the house, and those which lead to loss of the habit, and the other punishments; and we have not told you everything we should tell you, but you will ask it."

You find these, and other Rules of the historic Templars in our private Groups section.  We have ALL kinds of things of interest here.
