It's kind of a BIG DEAL when meetings have to close due to lack of support. In my area, it happens only happens about once a year out of 400 meetings in our metro area.
So it is no surprise to me that they may have been desperate to drum up some new support using fear, guilt and shame. Don't think of it as normal or typical behavior for a group.
