The Downside of Cross Pollination

Volunteer organizations always have difficulties in member retention and member participation. One of the strong reasons are attempts to impose a second message onto the group. Atheist hate prayers. Those who are clearly straight may be opposed to carrying a gay message, and just prefer to ignore the gays. Neutral is likely to be the predominant group. So groups should stick to their primary subject, and not muddy the waters.

The atheist group may not want to be strongly mixed with the gays, nor politics, anti GMO, anti vaccination, nor humanists, nor women rights, nor incels or volcels, nor book club, nor service to the community, nor food bank; because having two interests may will cause splintering in the root cause. Do they wish to be social group, or a topic discussions group? There is nothing that will cause resentment faster than imposing something that is not supported onto membership, nor not doing what should be part of it. It is either exposure or too much exposure.

But what do I know?
