Ok, but what about the privileges, other then a sound concience?

I'm curious about this too. What benefit does it have to the members other than one vote?

I outlived my lifetime membership:)
As just one Bitcoin Foundation member, I certainly can not speak for the whole organization, but, a big part of this organization to to pool funds to actually pay people to get stuff done. Bitcoin has become something more than a hobby experiment...and we can't keep relying on the good will of smart people to keep the gravy train rolling, so to speak. People tend to think of Bitcoin as this huge thing, almost as if there were no people behind it...in fact, it's a very small group that actually develop code for the protocol. A measly few BTC membership fee, which one could easily spend on dinner and a movie, is a small price to pay to buy programmers to help make your remaining btc worth more.

When the government wants to get a list of bitcoiners in future its best not to be on one.

I think it's a good idea in theory: BitCoin could use some people to help promote it better. But I'm not a member, so I don't know how well it works out in practice.

Your paying for some big bitcoin businesses to have more power then they need too with no checks or balances to there power. Also it isn't that big only ~250 ppl considering this forum is over 70k. Also you have to sign up with your real name which means they are destroying a main value of bitcoin being the anonymous

Study the past, if you would divine the future.

So I was looking over this site, they seem pretty big, I was wondering what are the main benefits of being part of this foundation?

Even as an individual, is it worth it? Seems pretty pricey as well.

If anyone is part of it, would be great if you can give some insight about it.
