1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
I decided on my organization of choice PRIOR to JOHN visiting GC, LOL!
2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
That would be a resounding 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.
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?
Of course not, actually I would consider it a compliment that they thought so highly of me to want me to pursue their organization, I would not be offended.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
As above, I would say that they thought highly of me, and consider it a complement. I would also think that that person must have good taste and be a good judge of character!
6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
I don't think that I would find fault with that person or the entire org. If for some reason that person didn't respect my choice, then I may be offended...but it would still be on the individual level
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?
I would say that if I have expressed my intentions/desires and this person is still trying to influence me otherwise, that it would say that they aren't respecting me. If they took it too far to the extreme, I would question their love for their own organization. Why would you want someone in your org that didn't show the same passion/zest for it as you?
8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
One word. Weak
9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
I would never be in this situation to ever have to wonder whether I could or not
10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
If I have made up my mind on something, that means it's in my heart, and I would not be swayed by anything or anyone!
