I agree with humbleheart
It's easy to say what I said from the outside looking in. I am sure if I had to make a decision I would view ALL aspects of the applicant's life. But as an outsider I also feel that why you (in general, the decision-makers) dictate how I should live my life. Am I to give up my friends just because they may not be who the organization feels I should be friends with? Am I to let others choose my friends? Just because I want to be a part of something they probably have no interest in.
I agree with Humbleheart in part because some people need each other. And if I stop being friends with someone because of what I want to be, what if it turns out to be a mistake.
