I strongly agree that local groups should encourage people to give for a couple years before taking the GWWC Pledge, and that the Pledge isn’t right for everyone (I’ve been donating 10% since childhood and have never taken the pledge).
When it comes to the ‘Further Giving’ Pledge, I think it wouldn’t be unreasonable to encourage people to get some kind of pre-Pledge counselling or take a pre-Pledge class, to be absolutely certain people have thought through the implications of the commitment they are making .
