I agree with what the others have said, and would strongly recommend that you don't do this!:

You could be inadvertently "pushing away" someone who really wants to join your organization. Perhaps someone has done their research, they know what they're looking for, and they know they want to join BSP. What if that were you, and someone said, "Well, maybe you should look at some of the other groups first..." A potential member could take this in the entirely wrong way and assume that you're politely telling them you don't want them as a member.
I agree that you should be straightforward and honest with your potential members; let them know what you are and what you aren't, and show them what it is you have to offer. They can make their own decision from there. Don't make it for them. You shouldn't feel guilty about actively recruiting!
