Heh. I just spent Saturday afternoon at FMW - for Interim Meeting sessions, and one of the topics on the agenda (as it has been for several years now) was the current state of BYM's relationship to FUM. It was terribly, um, interesting. Particularly at the end, when use of logic went right out the window.
As for YAF groups, I rather wish I belonged to one of the meetings with its own, though I've a good many friends scattered througout the YM as a whole (and I'm looking forward to the December conference at Homewood on 'Sharing Out Spiritual Journeys'). Still, I understand that vicious cycle of increasing disinclination - 's like exercise: if you get out there and do it and you remember that it makes you feel good, then you maybe do it more often and it feels even better and so on. But if you don't get out there and do it, then all you remember is how much work it is and how tired you feel after and so you don't do it and don't do it and only keep remembering the annoying bits.

So, er, yeah. Enough of the tortured metaphor.
