1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
Yes. Long before.
2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
No.
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?
No. The wonderful thing about life is that it is diverse. People have different ways of seeing and thinking about themselves and the world around them. Organizations are microcosmic representations of the world around us. Those in them represent have different ways of thinking about and seeing the world.
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?
No. I wouldn't be offended, but honored. But their offering doesn't mean that I would want to accept. I would be gracious in my decline.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
It may not suggest anything negative at all. It can simply be that this person really wants you to be in their organization. But after continued pressing, and my constant declines, it would suggest to me that she does not respect my ability to make up my own mind, nor does she respect and support my decision.
6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
Members are appendages to, but are not the organization itself. They may represent the ideals, be greatly active, but are not the organization in its entirety. I wouldn't find fault with the organization, nor would I try to find fault with the person. I would still love her and not try to frown at her. We just had a misunderstanding.
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?
Refer to my answer to #5.
8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
Weak...lacking any real fortitude as an individual.
9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
I can't imagine myself being that gullible. If I did something like that, it would be so far apart from my character. I would need to eventually move on and get to the business of my daily grooming.
10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
As I said, I would have a hard time going against my intented goals. I truly do place a high premium on integrity in my own life and those surrounding me. But on a purely hypothetical note...it would speak poorly of one's integrity...or a lack thereof. Integrity is really about one's ability to remain true to themselves in spite of challenges.
