1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

Just some questions for you to ponder over.

Well, to answer your questions, AKA2D '91:

1. Yes; I decided when I was 13 years old
2. Never!
3. Not in a million years!
4. Yes I would, but I'd keep that type of attitude to myself; it's only ladylike. I'd let that person know in a nice way that I'm not interested without revealing where my interest lies.
5. I think that it says that she obviously doesn't know who she's dealing with and may think that since she's done this before and it worked, she could try to continue to do it again and again...
6. Individuals should be held fully responsible for their own actions. I don't think a group of people should have to be for the simple fact that the opinions of one person don't necessarily represent the opinions of a group.
7. I think that it says that she thinks that she may be able to do this and earn an award or some typre of recognition from her fellow members, when in reality, she may be trying to earn new friends b/c the ones she may have might not like her that much. I also think it says something about her self-esteem....
8. If I were to ever follow someone else's lead and do what they thought was best for me, I could never forgive myself b/c I didn't stand up for what I truly believe in and let someone else take over my brain and control my every move.
9. Definitely not! I'd be tooo angry at myself to do so!!!
10. That would say a lot about my integrity; namely that I don't have any, and if I do, then I'm just too weak to use it.
