I have been very disappointed with my membership in Equally Yoked. I joined in 2011. At the time, my pictures were taken. To this date, those pictures were never put on my profile. It took a month before my video was added to my profile. On the date of my first interview, I was made to feel that I was auditioning for an exclusive membership. There was a hard sell in which I felt pressured to sign up. The price of $1,995 was not disclosed until the very end. Again, even though I did not have the money to participate, I felt pressured to join. I was made to believe that there had been many matches made through Equally Yoked. There was not a trial period given and I was not able to access the site until I paid to join. Thus, I was not able to determine if this membership would truly benefit me.

As soon as I joined, I was disappointed. The pictures of the members were tiny and the only way to make them larger was to actually open up the profile. The pictures/videos were also grainy and of poor quality. I had been told that my age group had the largest amount of members. However, what I quickly found was that many of the men had already made connections with others and their accounts were on hold. Most of the others lived more than an hour away from me (and I live in the metro Atlanta area).

That left a small amount of others who did not fall into those categories but in whom I was not interested.             

I was also disappointed in the events that were planned by Equally Yoked. I went to a Valentines dinner in which most of the members were sitting at one table and a few of us women were sitting by ourselves at another table. There was no interaction with males for those of us at the second table. Another event that I went to was at the Fernbank Science Museum. Four of us were there for at least an hour but never found the Equally Yoked group. I also went to the Celebrate Freedom concert but, again, never found the Equally Yoked group. Other events have been childrens animated movies that do not interest me or events that are too far from my home.

I am not the only person who has regretted membership with Equally Yoked. I have met at least eight others who have also had negative experiences. I am a single mom who does not receive child support. I feel that I wasted $1,995 and have not reaped any benefits from the membership. I will never recommend Equally Yoked to any singles that I know.

"Get rid of all...brawling and slander along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another." -Ephesians 4:31

AUTHOR: Equally Yoked Atlanta - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, August 23, 2012

Upon reading this report it made me very upset that someone would say that this service is a rip-off.   We have been successful since 1986 and we are one of the largest 100% Christian singles organization in the nation.  We would truly not be in business if we were not successful.  If this is really one of our members I would really like to encourage you to contact us about all your concerns so we may help you.  Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation -Philippians 2:14-15.

I will address all the problems below.

1. Unfortunately, we are not a non-profit organization and there are fees involved.  The reason why we do not advertise a price is because we need to get to know you before we can offer you a membership.  Everyone that is looking to join has to sign a statement of faith and speak with one of our counselors before we can offer you a membership.  We have from single parents, to students, to retirees join so we work with everyone.  We also have plans for members that are going through financial hardship.  And nobody forces you to sing or join if you do not wish to.  We encourage everyone to pray about every decision they make, whether it is in our office or in life.

2. When someone comes in and does a video and pictures, we upload them that same day.  We have no reason to keep your video or pictures from anyone, in the contrary, we want your profile to be as filled out as it can be so you can get more activity on it.

3. We service all of Georgia and have members from all of Georgia and parts of Alabama so I do not understand where you are getting your information from.

4. By us having members on hold you are proving my point that we are successful because the other members have, and Im quoting, had already made connections with others. 

5. Our activities are very successful.  You can check out pictures of an activity that we just had this past Saturday on our Equally Yoked Atlanta Facebook page.  We had members coming from Macon, Carrollton, Gainesville, and other places because they knew they were in for a good time.  If this is really a member I encourage you to check out future events and see for yourself.  Our children events are meant for our single parents, such as yourself, that unfortunately have a hard time going anywhere without their children.  We try to have different events that accommodate everyones different situations.  Celebrate Freedom is one of our largest events that we have every year and it is always a huge success.

I really have my doubts that this really is a member because if it was, they would know this not to be true.  If it is a member please make yourself known.  Perhaps not on here, but we are all here to help so like I mentioned before please contact us at our office so we can be of some assistance.  

 
Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  For the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew
7:1-2.
