Knights of Columbus

Do your, or your Lodge get along with the local Knights of Columbus chapters/lodges? Do you have joint ventures?

From my understanding we used to have some communications with them, supporting some of their charity work. But things fell apart when they would not reciprocate. We have no problems, again from my understanding, with a person being a duel member though.

Our local Knights of Columbus closed it's doors some time back , but back when it was open , other local lodges had the same thing happen . They helped them with fund raisers but when the shoe was on the other foot , they would have nothing to do with the Freemasons .

The day after I was raised, one of my co-workers who is a K of C member already knew of my raising and tried to convince me it was the worst thing I could have done. I did not argue with him but I did let him know that this was my decision and it was none of his business what organizations I joined, he has left me alone as to Masonry ever since.

My brother's in-laws are Roman Catholic and has told me the very same thing . I asked them how they would know that I am doomed to burn in hell for my membership in Freemasonry and their answer was " because the Pope and the church says so " . But then again they say my family is doomed to hell because we are Baptists . So it is lose/lose anyway I go ,lol .

I will top you with I was told I'm doomed in to burn in Hell because the Pope said so by someone who is non-denominational, and follows no other Roman Catholic specific rules.
