Here is some information in a soon to be published study regarding the Lock Society concerning its origins, development, and group rituals that it's members are required to participate in. To be published in the Heinderbiender Journal of Billiard Studies at Buttenfarht University in Germany in the upcoming Spring Issue:

Emotional Connection----

The follower has found the leader inspiring for some reason. Perhaps the follower loves the leader at some level. This love blinds the follower to the leader’s flaws once they manifest.

Dependency------

The follower, because of her or his adoration for the leader, builds her/his life around the leader. Given the follower’s emotional, and at times financial, investment, it is actually psychologically easier for the follower to deny the accuracy of clear evidence that reveals the leader’s flaws than it is to accept reality.

Suspension of Critical Thinking----

This dependency ultimately leads to a near total suspension of the follower’s ability to analyze objectively and critically the leader’s pronouncements. Anything the leader says—even if it is contradicted by verifiable data—must be true. And instructions must be obeyed. To do otherwise would betray the leader—with whom the follower has now completely identified.

Dismissal of Dissenters-----

Just as everything said by the cult leader is accepted as “gospel,” those who do raise questions or objections are dismissed peremptorily. Because these concerns often have merit, the typical approach is to avoid dealing with such concerns on their merits, and instead to attack the character or motives of the person presenting concerns. The dissenter is labeled disrespectful, a “troublemaker,” a liar, someone out for her/his own power, or someone in the pay of some outside interest.

Recently, a member was kidnapped by his concerned family members and a deprogramming was performed in hopes of reviving the member's former personality and love of his family to him again. Currently in an undisclosed location, this individual's transformation is being studied by Heinderbiender's Buettenfarte Professors in the hopes of developing a program for current members who may need help in breaking from the group in the future.

It's not "Lock society" it's "World Famous Lock Society" Don't forget the "World Famous" part. We all know how much overtime "Lock Leader" put in making it World Famous.

I thought about applying with the name "Don't give a Lock's ass". Then once "accepted" into this bastardized version of Dungeons and Dragon's club....The first order of business would be to make a motion to abolish the "World Famous Lock Society". And watch the Nerds implode.

Then I thought nope...can't do it. The loss of life would weigh too heavy on my soul.
 
Here's how I see it.
A few members who have joined a group and are enjoying their companionship. They don't seem to be hurting anyone and I see it as a smaller version of what we have all done by being members of AZ billiards.
 
I usually would not join a club that had such low standards as to let me in but I made an exception this time.
The last time I joined something they sent me to Viet Nam. :eek:
So I have been very careful since then.

Hello Mad Miller,
If the person had really been interested in the World Famous Lock Society. They would have done a search of that name on AZB and found out for themselves what they wanted to know. Or they could have PM me. All of the people want to joke about a society of people that play good pool and are teachers of pool to people that want to improve their pool game! Simple as that!!!. 3 People joined last week. No problem.

And the guy that is always downing the World Famous Lock Society is always post in threads that concern or are about the World Famous Lock Society. If I do not like something I do not fool around with it at all!

As a matter of fact Scot Frost joined 3 weeks ago.
Many Regards,
Lock N Load.
