there are other christian motorcycle clubs that takes in exbikers, felons, lawyers, and other scourges of society...they just share the common belief of living for riding and god and enjoy both at the same time...not like they're gonna clean up, get a hair cut and ride a honda anytime soon, but they're trying to fit in with society...

just like many other religious denominations, some break off and start their own chapters ....this could be one of them...:dunno

never noticed that patch...
 
Never heard of them before, so no experience.

Question for the God-loving bunch. If you have a puncture, do you kneel and pray for God to fix your tyre, or do you call for help?

Was that really necessary?
 
Not familiar with that particular patch. Though I've driven/ridden past some other rather obviously Christian affiliated patched clubs. I treat 'em pretty much the same as any other. Except I probably wouldn't worry too much about passing a formation of 'em if I came across 'em on the highway.
 
Since you are a ministry. Where do you minister? When do you minster? who do you minister (poor broken down sap on the side of the road?)?

Don't crowd mah gig, yo. :x



OP, never heard of your MC, never seen the patch.
The only MC members I've come across that I really enjoyed hanging out with are the Vampires. Throw MC and religion together, Ima run screaming.

Also, you're not representing so well here... humorless and snarky isn't exactly the way to warm fuzzies. Jes' sayin'.
 
The "Kosher Hogs MC" are ready to rumble when yous guys are. Just not after sundown Fridays or Saturday. But any other day!!
 
Never seen or heard of them. But then again, I see tons of patches on the roads. MC's seems to be a dime a dozen nowadays so nothing really sticks out to me unless it's an HA. The only other one I seem to notice are the California Kings for some reason.

That said, any help is good help. I'd accept help from a Christian MC as well as a satanic MC if offered. Being an agnostic myself, the only offense I would take is if either one started preaching and proselytizing, to which I would just say "thank you for the help but I'm not interested" and continue on my way.
 
I don't understand why it's okay for anti-religious peoples to bash religious peoples but the instant a person who happens to be religious questions your lack of faith, it's the end of the fucking world.

Double-Standard like whoa.

On topic. No, I've never seen your patch but in my opinion I think that emulating Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs while promoting a good club, is counterproductive.
 
I just can't take the moto patch thing seriously. It gives me a giggle, so that's some good in the world. :)

I could give you a rational explanation but it would just lead to more hurt butts.
(If you were just reminded of the catholics you're a bigger meanie than I am.)

I'm not a religious person, so it's not that issue.

The issue is, it comes across as a "I know better than you so listen to what I say" arrogant statement when people start talking down to, or flaming, people who are religious.

Frankly, and yes my flame suit is on, it reminds me of how every Liberal on the planet argues any of their political points. :)

I find that hard line people on both ends of the spectrum are equally annoying. Much like politics in the Kitchen Sink.

I vote for moving this thread to the KS. There'll be way more "candid opinions" there, per OP's candid request.
 
These are a lot of strange choices for a poll on a Christian M/C that nobody's ever heard of.
Why would anyone have unpleasant experiences with members of a Christian M/C? They're not likely behave the same as the typical three-patch club members are reputed to behave.
And why isn't "never heard of them" one of the choices?

Somehow, I can't get away from the idea that there's more of an agenda to this than "just wondering what you guys think of the club".
I'm only up to the second page, I expect something will pop up before I've caught up.

Bad experiences can be had anywhere. maybe some guy you met was too preachy. maybe you didn't appreciate something someone said. I just wanted to have the option there.

Carlo, yes there is an agenda behind my posting. one of my brothers made a claim that the entire area knows our club and that everyone likes us. I called shenanigans to that. this is proof.

the never heard of them IMHO was a neutral point, so its listed as neutral. I apologize if that's confusing.

No we do not behave like some other 3 patch clubs, and yes, we ARE approved to wear 3 patches.

my sense of humor is rather dry to begin with so i'm not sure it made its way across any of these posts. I was being completely genuine when I said thank you to people, but after re-reading, it does come off sounding snarky. not my intent, but that's hard to put into text.

an excellent question. We minister anywhere and everywhere we go. Usually as a silent witness, but sometimes we've been asked to speak or share.

We minister to everyone. A silent witness is just me being me, talking about motorcycles, rides, tires whatever. again, if asked, we will provide answers to just about any question from faith to tire choices.

I have no interest in bible thumping a poor soul on the side of the road. simply being a source of comfort or aide is ministry enough.

I am going to take the more silent witness approach. There is absolutely no sense in beating people over the head. good deeds are good deeds and are almost always accepted.

Anyone that knows me, ask them.

I hope to start seeing you all on the highways and by ways. If you see us on your regular rides, say hello, pop a wheelie, or gimme the Barf salute :shocker. everything works.

Just curious as to who you had to get approval from to wear three patches and how the process goes.

to be perfectly honest, I do not know the procedure. I CAN tell you, its one of those "need to know" things that I won't be posting on an open forum.

I realize it sounds silly to those of us who aren't in the 1%'r lifestyle, but trust me its real.

anyone who doesn't understand the 1% thing, read this.

THAT is the main focus of the ministries efforts. Just to be a source of light to these men and women.
