Wanna join?
We'll need to have a constitution which I intend to thrash-out here and now.
Post any rules you'd like to see included in the rule book..

I'll start it off:

THE CONSTITUTION
================

Rule 1: The purpose of the society is set out in the constitution
Rule 2: The purpose of the constitution is to present in full the rules of the society.
Rule 3: All members must abide by the rules at all times or face expulsion.
Rule 4: Any rule in this constitution may be superceeded by another more recent rule but it may never be purposefully contradicted by another later rule
Rule 5: No golf shoes to be warn in the clubhouse

Let's see...

So far Zimphire and CD Hanks advocate violence. I guess just for the sake of Jesus.

So no religious affiliation is a must.

Advocate? When did I do that. I was just seeing if it was a "fight club" type thing.

I guess just for the sake of Jesus.

Ummm....yeah...

Well, he tried keeping it a secret and nobody knew to join, so this was plan B. You're obviously a sharp fellar -- give it a go and tell us what it's like.
Do you want forgiveness or respect?
