1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
YES.
2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
No. I think once you have made an intelligent decision on which organization to pursue, no one can sway you. You have to be leaning or wavering before someone can sway you.
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. If I wasn't interested before, I don't see how someone's efforts or testimony could cause me to be interested. For me, it was observing members in different locations and of different ages, then doing my own research. One person couldn't have made or broken my perception.
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?
I wouldn't be offended. I'm assuming that I know the person, b/c I don't see someone I don't know coming up to me about that. I would feel flattered, but of course they didn't know of my interest in a different organization.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
It says that that person doesn't have my desires at heart. They're selfish, only thinking about their intentions.
6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
Only the person. The entire body of an organization can't be at fault for the deeds of one individual.
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?
Same as #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?
I would be a very weak person. I would be a person that lacked a backbone - if I didn't have the resolve to stand up for myself and prevent the situation from happening.
9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
No.
10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
If I followed the 'leader', it would say that I wasn't being truthfull to the person or myself.
