Promoting the Knights

[gamewell45]

I am seriously considering becoming a Knight of Columbus. I am a truly devoted Catholic and am looking for more in my life towards GOD. The problem is I am confused about the knights and freemasonry. I see that Jeb Bush is a 3rd degree knight but both his brother and father are both Skull & Bones. So are the KOC then truly part of freemasonry even though they condemn it? Also why is the pledge I found about the KOC so horrific? If this truly is not the pledge where is the real pledge found? Also why is the ceremonies such a secret like the Freemasons? Jesus wants us to spread the word of his dying on the cross to everyone. So why would the KOC want to keep ceremonies private and not share with the families of the man being initiated. These are just some questions I have. I truly want to be a KOC but I don’t want to be mislead and join something that might not be right in the eyes of GOD. Please help me out

I can assure you that the Knights of Columbus, Freemasons and skull and bones have no ties between them. Each is a separate organization; while the KOC and Freemasons at times may meet for various social functions, I’ve never heard of Skull and Bones interfacing with either group either socially or other means.

Well, my thread was certainly hi-jacked. No wonder some people leave and don’t support the forums.

Thank you to the one person that actually stayed on topic. Thankfully for me, their suggestion is fantastic!

I’m sorry, juggling referee.
1ke has done a great job with the editing process. The only additional suggestion that comes to mind is that you place a colon after the words “signature event” to really make “The New Toys for Needy Kids Toy Drive” stand out.
