Don't listen to all of these knuckle-heads. The Knights Templar were a group of monks formed in the 12th century. The Order was disbanded in 1307, and has not existed since then. Most of the former Knights Templar joined other Chivalric orders like the Knights of St. John.
By the way, as a 32nd degree Mason, I can assure you that the Freemasons are not descended from the Knights Templar, even though they borrow parts of the Templar story in their rituals.

I can tell you that I had the good fortune of winding up at a hotel at the same time as a very rowdy group of Knights Templar. I am not sure what they were celebrating, but they certainly were celebrating and in high spirits. I know they still exist and did see information and a web site noted, try there. I don't know if they are actually the Knights Templar you are seeking, but they certainly had a lot of history on them.

Even though the original ones were disbanded . there are still organizations that follow their ideals.
use the Search engine.and see if there is one near you and set up an interview.
My grandfather on my Fathers side was both a Odd fellow and at least a 32degree Mason.Neither says that they have any direct connection with the Knights Templar.Also just checked the copy of the
Scottish Rights version of the Masonic Bible.Definitely nothing in it about that.

The Knights Templar no longer exist. The sect dissolved in the 1300s. many of their traditions are still followed today and the Masons and Knights of Columbus follow those traditions. It is said that the last righteous act of the Knights Templar was to spirit Mary Magdalene and the daughter of Christ out of Egypt to France. All pure speculation. The disbanding too, is suspect.

Yes they do and if it was easy to contact them they wouldn't be a secret society within a secret society. I believe they are an inner ring of Free Masons. Most Free Masons are there for charity reasons and to join a self helping club but there are secret societies within that , the ordinary FM never gets to know of. Of course this will all be denied, as you would expect.

If they do still exist they are a secret organisation, very secret and would be ard to track down.
Some people beleive the masonic order is what is left of the koghts templar, however I doubt this.

The Knights Templar are a Christian terrorist organisation hell-bent on forcing the word of god on all non-Christians.
They blew up some bombs back in the 90's. I'm sure they're still around.
How to contact them?
Try searching "Christian, Knights, Templar" In google.

You cannot contact them.
No-one joins them - you have to be born into them.
Nobody knows who they are and they never reveal who they are as there is another ancient organisation out to destroy them!
you can only read up on the history as we know it. Which may or may not be true!

Look for the masonic lodge in your area. They are Scottish rites masons. You must approach them and ask to join. then you must go through and initiation ritual.
