The thought of being involved in Samson Society:

In the end, I encouraged them to spend a day with their boy at the School of Architecture, taking a private tour. This will allow them to see firsthand what their expectations are. Plus, he'll see students and their work on display throughout the building. I distinctly remember making this journey for myself as a high school student back in the '80s. And for me, it sealed the deal within my mind of what I felt compelled to move towards academically.
Similarly, if you're thinking about becoming involved in Samson Society, you should take the time to pay a visit to a local meeting. And arguably do so multiple times (at multiple venues) in order to find the specific meeting which fits your own personal bill.
Standing back and looking into Samson Society from a distance is no good. Take the dive today under the guise of "personal / spiritual reconnaissance work".
