I WAS LISTENING TO THE RADIO BACK IN MARCH OF 2000 AND I HEARD AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR A CHRISTIAN DATING SERVICE CALLED EQUALLY YOKED AND SO I CALLED AND INQUIRED ABOUT IT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND THE MAN I TALKED TO WAS THE MANAGER AND HE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE SALES PITCH-EQUALLY YOKED IS A CHRISTIAN BASED ORGAIZATION, THERE IS A LARGE DATA BASE OF WOMEN TO CHOOSE FROM AND HE SAID THEY HAVE A HIGH SUCCESS RATE WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE GETTINIG MARRIED-I FELL FOR THE WHOLE THING! I SIGNED A TWO YEAR CONTRACT AND I THINK THE PRICE WAS BETWEEN $1,500.00 AND $2,000.00 AND DURING THAT TIME I THINK I HAD TWO DATES WITH THEIR ORGANIZATION. I WOULD LOOK IN THE BINDER WHERE THEY KEPT NEW MEMBERS PROFILES AND ALL THEY HAD WERE WOMEN THAT I WASN'T ATTRACTED TO AND WOMEN WHO (AT LEAST I THOUGHT) CLAIMED TO BE CHRISTIAN BUT WERE NOT! ONE TIME I WAS TRYING TO FIND MY PROFILE AND ONE OF THE STAFF SAID SHE HAD TAKEN MY PROFILE AND PUT IT IN A DRAWER- I WAS TOLD THAT SHE HAD DONE THIS BECAUSE I WAS BEING DIFFICULT (I WAS ALWAYS ASKING IF THERE WERE ANY NEW MEMBERS) AND THERE IT REMAINED FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT I COULD NOT PUT UP ANY NEW PICTURES (THE STAFF WERE THE ONLY ONES ALLOWED TO DO SO) AND I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ADJUST ANY OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION-ONLY STAFF COULD THIS!
AFTER MY CONTRACT EXPIRED I WAS STILL SINGLE AND SO I SIGNED UP WITH THEM AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT WAS A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP AND FROM WHAT I REMEMBER THE COST WAS BETWEEN $2,000.00 AND 2,500.00. ALL THIS TIME THEY HAD AN EY BRANCH HERE IN TUCSON BUT IN 2007 THAT CHANGED THE BRANCH HERE IN TUCSON WAS EVICTED FROM THE BUILDING THEY WERE RENTING FOR NONE PAYMENT OF RENT AND THEN ALL OPERATIONS TOOK PLACE IN PHOENIX! MY TAKE ON THE WHOLE THING WAS THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE MEMBERS FROM TUCSON THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TUCSON BRANCH. WHEN THEY MOVED TO PHOENIX THEN I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN-THEY USE THE LORD'S NAME TO DECEIVE PEOPLE AND I HOPE THAT WHOEVER READS THIS ARTICLE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE!
