Same here! Not knowing a thing about Freemasonry if my mentor had recommended a ODC I would have done it. Like you, knowing what I know now, I am VERY glad that I took the traditional course.

Here in Massachusetts, we do have One Day Classes and from what I have heard, those who participate in the ODC are no more likely to drop out vs. someone who went through the degrees traditionally. Rather, it is our ability as leaders of our lodges to keep our brethren engaged and interested in what Masonry has to offer.

Although my Grand Lodge no longer allows One Day Classes, I agree with you that ability of the leaders to keep the Brethren engaged makes all the difference. I had this talk at Lodge 2 meetings ago, regarding Brothers who come in the normal way (which in my Jurisdiction can be a 3 to 6 month process) and still don't show up after being Raised. A Lodge is only as good as it's leadership.
