    Every time i go to a catholic wedding I'm expected to pretend I'm a cannibal and eat the dead body of somebody who died 2010 years ago.

    It's one thing going to a Catholic wedding. That religion is being thrust upon you. When the people doing the thrusting, are off in a forest worshipping owls, the mind boggles....

    Don't you get that ?

    Uhh no, you are the one that things it's like going for a round of golf :D

    Why are you being so defensive ?

    You are not being accused.

    If they're acting like kids for the week, doing childish rituals then they could start the whole thing off with one that symbolises letting go of their worries.

    Possible. It's not letting go of their worries though. It's letting go of their concience.

    It's also possible that it's just a stupid name given to a stupid ritual by stupid people and it may not mean anything. It's all guess work, really.

    They seem to take it seriously enough like. It's been going on for a long time and has many attendees. A well organised event AFAIK. Not some flippantly stupid ritual by the sounds of things.

    Are you capable of interacting with people on a adult level?

    Because at the moment your just coming across as a poor mans Mysterious.

    They have the most stressful jobs in the world, if dressing up and acting the bollox for 2 weeks helps them unwind, then leave them to it.

    It's an owl called Moloch.
    Also it's not worshipped.

    Ok, It doesn't sound very plausible. I find it hard to contemplate why you "seem like a level headed individual" can pass this off as letting off some steem. You are coming across as if you have something to loose if this is seen for what it is..

    Awwww. Rather "poor mans Mysterious" than a tellytubby.

    I totally agree Humanji brother.

    The statue is of a giant owl, who's name is Moloch.
    The owl is the symbol of the Bohemian Grove.

    They don't actually worship the Owl or a god named Moloch.

    I'm afraid you're just clutching at straws. The fraternity culture is very strong in US college culture. This is just an extension brought into their adult lives. They get the f*ck about the woods, acting like loons without a care in the world. It's perfect R&R for the man who has everything.

    They can go to the sun at any time. They don't get to act how they want there, though. Add to this that it's an exclusive club, then the members will feel like they're part of something special. Of course, not everyone who goes sees it this way, as Nixon's remarks prove.

    But that's not the statue at the grove though is it?

    And any chance you're going to elaborate on the claim that you where actually at the grove?

    Seriously like, what significance would an owl have at a cremation of care ceremony. Could you please make some sense of this for me. I'm really not following you.

    No it's not.

    One is of a bull man, the other is an owl.
    You see the difference?

    Moloch appears in the Hebrew of 1 Kings 11:7 (on Solomon's religious failings):
    Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and lmlk, the abomination of the Sons of Ammon.

    Jewish diety AFAIK

    Moloch is commonly portrayed as an owl

    What's the point of Spire? Or of that big sphere thingie at the central bank?
    It's a sculpture of a owl, propably made to add some drama to their shenanigans.

    Any chance you're going to provide something to show anything being killed in front of it?
