I'm an Orangeman living in Northern Ireland. In Ireland you have to be an Orangeman to join the Royal Arch Purple Chapter and you have to be a Royal Arch Purpleman to join the Royal Black Institution. l am a lecturer ( confer degrees)in all these Protestant Fraternal Orders. Over here we do not "BLACKBALL" potential new Brethern/Sir Knights.They are rejected openly at a lodge/chapter/Preceptory meeting if they are deemed undesirable ie no secret ballot although this is rare. Also Orangemen in Ireland don't wear Orange aprons although Sir Knights of the Royal Black Institution do wear Royal Blue Aprons with the compass and square with the letter G in the centre on it when they receive the corresponding degree I'm also a Brother in the Apprentice Boys Of Derry that comemmerates the siege of Londonderry in 1688/1689. Apprentice Boys wear crimson "collarettes" and it is a far more simpler Order with a very simple initiation ceremony. Apprentice Boys exist in the British Isles and have only one or two "Branch Clubs" in Canada and Australia. All these orders meet in Orange Hall's although the Apprentices Boys ruling body,.the General Committee and Parent Clubs,meet in the large Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall in Londonderry. I just thought that I would let the local people living near this Orange Hall in the USA know about the Orange Halls and Protestant fraternities over here in the island of Ireland where they were built and formed and please to everybody who is reading this message,whatever your faith, colour or race my intention is to be informative not offensive. After all the Orange Order supports Civil And Religious Liberty for everyone.
Still can't marry catholics tho and say in ni it's their culture! No different than the KKK the organization belongs in the history dump...a discriminative organization based on hate and triumphalism
Also I've always wondered why that lodge is called the apprentice boys of DERRY? When you guys are always so adamant it's londonderry..? What is the reason behind this? You'd lads would love a Ireland united for all
@@jackietreehorn5561 The city's name was Derry during the 1688-1689 siege. It's name was changed to Londonderry some years later The island country of Ceylon changing it's name to Sri Lanka is a similar example of this. The Apprentice Boys Of Derry use the name Derry in it's name because it commemorates events that happened before the name change. An example of the flip side of this is that the Foyle Bridge was built over the river Foyle on the outskirts of Londonderry.
My husband's Great, Great Uncle was an Orangeman in Elgin Ontario. He passed in 1936 with the title of the eldest Orangeman in the country at 96yrs. His funeral had 3 ministers, and accompaniment of music and singing at the funeral and interment. We are very proud of the family in Orangemen, as they were also at the beginning of the Orangemen in England.
It's kind of sad that there's only 13 orange men left there. I mean even going to the orange walk in Belfast or Glasgow is a strong proud tradition. My Dad, Stepdad and my Mum took me and the siblings when we were growing up. There's always going to be people standing against it, but people come in their thousands to see these walks and even more so to support their brothers and sisters in the lodges and bands.
For defeating a catholic king in the 17th century ? Seriously.......move on like the rest of the countries invaded by French, Portuguese, Danish, Spanish etc etc. This is the 21st century, you're living in some wormhole to the 17th.
@@Drifty40 Then you need to say the same to every country around the world that celebrate their victories from decades and centuries past. Oh, and let's not forget about your aoh marches. Think the wormhole you talk about is in your brain.
They won the battle of the Boyne, but LOST the war of humanity. Ireland will go on to prosper without them,Protestant, Catholic and none.Saoirse,an spioraid na H,Erin gu brath. Aon duthcha agus aon daoine.
No it won’t.Ireland will only prosper when it recognises ALL cultures within its shores which includes Protestant,catholic and none.It has went part way already by including Orange in its national flag.No-one lost the war on humanity.Both sides contributed to its demise during the troubles
@@frederickhermann4904 You clearly don’t live in Northern Ireland or Ireland so you talk rubbish. The Orange in the flag you talk about represents 4% of the population in the Republic of Ireland. That same Protestant population fell to 4% not by accident but by design and plan. Due to violence, discrimination and Government and Church LAW! The people of Northern Ireland choose by DEMOCRATIC vote to remain British. The sooner people like you get this into their thick heads, the sooner we will have peace.
