""The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon commonly known as the Knights Templar`s. The Knights Templar were the elite fighting force of their day.

F.M.O.K.T- Friends and Members of The Order of The Knight Templar´s

Link below.

As an addendum to the above answer-

I hate to quibble with you, but the evidence of Templars coming to America is bordering on mythos and "what-if". It's true that a rune stone with references to Temple Knights was found in Minnesota, but the experts remain fairly divided.

The "Templars" of today that are found in the Free and Accepted Masons are only found in the York Rite of the Order. If a man wishes to advance to this degree, he must be a Christian (Freemasons in general are only required to believe in a Supreme Being) and he shall have been passed through the Royal Arch degrees. Most lodges in the US are Scottish Rite, but a number of York Rite lodges exist. My suggestion to you would be to find a Mason that you know and that knows you and ask.

It is believed by some that they still exist, and are still fully operational.

As an addendum to the addendum:

The faith has never been lost and many are still around who believe in the old ways. Please do not attempt to push all of the Orders Descendants into one small box. It is tiresome to say the least. I suppose conservitively one only needs to follow the laws and ways to be considered a laymember, but to earn your spurs as it were you must adhere to the Knights Code as well as the laws and ways. Purity or the lack thereof is not a requirement even the wicked may swear the oaths, but repentance is a must for only the Lord is pure. Dozens of Orders still stand for the Oaths globally. aswell there are many "loners" amongst us. The Pope long ago apoligized for this sin of his against us. We still stand. God does not abandon. You are welcome.

What is the island country that was the home of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table?

England, Avalon, or Cornwall....The island is Avalon, which may be mythical. Arthur was reportedly buried there -- according to the legend, however, he is only sleeping.

There is more than one candidate for the location of Avalon, one being Glastonbury, which was surrounded by marshlands before they were drained. Arthur's remains were reportedly discovered there in the 11th century but it was probably a hoax cooked up by Glastonbury Abbey in order to attract pilgrims (and their offerings).

Another possible candidate is St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall, which can be reached by a causeway at low tide.

Caveat emptor. The Arthurian legends are mostly just that -- legends. There probably was an historic Arthur, a Celtic chief who led the resistance to Anglo-Saxon invaders. But in Arthur's time, there were no knights in England. The concept of knighthood, chivalry, and all the other Arthurian trappings, did not arrive in England until the Norman Conquest in 1066 -- centuries after Arthur's time.

England- its the word that starts with an e and has 7 letters

Why do men become distant or avoid you altogether when they were pursuing you and you have now given him attention?

He is MARRIED!!!!Some men and women like to throw out bait to many peeople. Quite likely, this man has got many women hes interested in and he too busy for you. I would not bother. AnswerMost men (who really should still be called boys) enjoy the chase much more than the catch. Once they have you they have proven to themselves that "they still have it" and now it's time to move on to the next victim. The only way to keep him running after you is if you don't stop running from him. Men are creatures of competition so if there's no struggle there than it really isn't worth it to them. AnswerHow do they become distant and avoid you if they are pursueing you. That just doesnt make any sense at all. If your saying that he's avoiding you now that you have given him attention thensome dynamic in the relationship has changed. Maybe you should take the hint and move on and findsomeone who does not want to play games. AnswerThere is the theory that guys like a chase and may or may not know what to do when the chase is over....something like that :). There is the theory that the guy should always be the one pursuing and he could b turned-off if he got too much attention all of the sudden because it is like you are persuing him. There's the rubberband theory that men need to stretch-out before they can snap back to you again. There is the, "He's just not that into you" theory and if it is a new relationship or if there is not relationship yet, that could be the theory that probably applies. Don't worry about it. Don't try to get his attention. Give him tons of space and set your boundaries. Make sure he asks you out on a date if he would like your attention...let him show you he wants your attention before you give it to him. I would not call him, keep e-mails brief and be careful to accept a date with him if he asks you out without any kind of advanced notice (that's not so much of a date but an afterthought). Take care of your heart and don't get attached to a guy who is not showing he is into you.

If you own a home and then get married does your spouse then own half of it?

If your name is the only name on the deed, then no. It depends upon the state in which you reside. Generally property obtained before a marriage is considered solely owned by the deed holder if the new spouse is not added to the property title. However, in some CP states spouses have been successful in gaining property rights even when they were not a title holder or privy to the purchase of said property of the "owner spouse" before the marriage.
