Joined the KofC - Good or Bad

[Offline4Better.]

Hello folks. I made a decision to join the Knights of Columbus, and looking for feedback on the program. Is this a good thing, or is is just not a good idea for a 24 year-old man who does not drive, but can take a taxi? The HQ is about 3 miles away from my place.

I know men who joined and really enjoyed it.

Hopefully it is good, and is not a frat club.

The guys I know do a lot of volunteering.

Hmm, hopefully this goes well.

Hey, can I get any opposing views here, so I can see both sides, and weigh out my options?

Well,

their costuming kinda sucks.

past that I got nothing.

lve done a ton of work with nonprofits in my life and going against the knights is sort of like going against the Boy Scouts. They have their distractors but most have a ax to grind.

Eh, will I have to wear that costume? It is not 1920s London, my brother.

That's their old costuming. Keep up.

Not an opposing view but I never felt it was for me. I'll hold out for an equestrian order.

I’ve joined several years ago, but am no longer active.

What do you want me to say ? It’s what the grand Pooba wears on the floats in the parades. It’s not like I’m a member.

Its What came up when I did the search.

Hey, thank you. I am starting to like this organization. If worse comes to worse, I'll try it out for 90 days.

Honestly I liked the feathery things better.

I'm not qualified to comment but at least you're not sinning by joining it. It's not like it's freemasonry.

Agreed 100%. And hey, I might try KofC for a few months. Yes, at least this is not freemasonry. That stuff is off the deep end.

Three things come to mind.

I didn't know they were still operating. Seems every town has a KoC lodge building that's being used as something else.

I'm surprised it was that easy to join. I would have expected it to be a deal where someone has to recommend you.

I'm surprised you joined it knowing so little about it. Personally I would have researched it to death first.

Also I've heard if you quit they follow you around everywhere in a black Winnebago, but that could just be something I made up.

Haha, I do not want the KofC to follow me in a black RV. I should have done more research, but I do know that they volunteer. I'll try it for a few months. If I don't like it, I'll be okay being followed by a black Winnebago.

I almost joined once. They made you take a pledge to keep everything they did secret - red flag. Instead of taking the pledge I declined in front of the whole group. The group wasn't really spiritual, mostly functional, anyway - Friday fish fry's, a basketball contest, etc.. Not much a secular group couldn't do.

I have no idea what the secret stuff was to this day, but it was weird.
