I'm not the type of individual to join anything. I take my time, look into the value of the organization, cost, my commitment required, people running it, members and what the reason, direction, activities and events.

Lately I’ve been ask to join the OATH KEEPERS….. the jury is still out on this group IMO. I like the base structure, idea and the group membership base. But I’m not sure if the foundation values and core is the direction of the many different district group locations. It seems that there is a different in what OATH KEEPERS function, intent and direction.

Have you ever joined a group or organization, then realized this is just not what you thought was the intention the group?

Well, the Oath Keepers seem to be borderline crazy misfits who determine when they feel it's time for them to take the law into their own hands based solely on their own personal judgment (combined with the hopes cameras will be running at their planned location), so on the surface, you seem a good fit.

Oath Keepers are made up of the same morons who think it's a good idea to take rifles into Chipotle/Starbucks. I really don't give a shit if you conceal carry or hell even open carry. But if you're carrying a rifle or shotgun to a burrito place or the mall you're simply trying to scare people and feel cool. You can lie to yourself and say you're trying to "educate" people on their rights but you'd know this isn't true. If that was the goal you'd see these type of people wearing normal clothing and carrying their weapons discretely. Instead they dress up like they think they're in the SAS or something and are as boisterous as possible.

I been ask several times to join both OATh KEEPERs and THREE PRECEnTERS, like I said I'm not a persons that takes groups at face value. Plus I'm more of a Josey Wales type individual I keep to myself and pick my friends carefully with the exception of BRF, Garden35, Redrocket and maybe Apple...
Presently I'm a member of the NRA, GOP and support a few charitable organization.... Not a join this join that guy, I have standard, values and morals. Another thing is I really dislike meeting new people .. I like people don't get me wrong, but I like to pick the people I want to associate with, and to many time people quickly want to be my friend... I don't need that many friends nor do I want that commitment of friendship.. No groups for me..:)

They were WAY on the wrong side of the woman in Kentucky situation, talking about helping her resist going back to jail. They should a get a cell next to her.

"Oath Keepers" sounds like some Game of Thrones fan club.

When you join, you have to "take the black" and you do get executed if you try to get out.

Oath Keepers aren't as bat shit crazy as Jimmy "the liar" Tressels' Promise Keepers...Christian zealots that believe Women should be in servitude to Men.

Yes, this marriage thing I joined is nothing like my husband told me it would be. It's turned out to be nothing but laundry and sandwiches. Bunch of crap.
