Did you stick with it JD or just attend a few classes? It's a seven year deal and I'm in my 4th year; just a few
classes would not qualify anyone to make a judgment one way or the other. This also includes Lance who is
passing judgment from the Bookstore down the street. jtThese are not Free Masons with a secret agenda and code words, Judy. I go when I can and have been doing so for a number of years. I actually speak with those who are there, and interact with them. Many are friends -------------- I am very well qualified to describe the attitudes and agenda of the fellowship with which I attend. As I said before --- there are all types and sizes in the meetings. None of the speech is of a judgmental nature. There is a free spirit uin our sharing. You are going nowhere if you think to challenge this. JohnMust be a different outfit John; I'm not talking about attitudes of ppl or their shapes and sizes. The meetings I go to are very structuredwith no time for what you call "sharing" We answer questions from the study we have worked on at home the previous week and we listento a lecture afterwards so that the most there is time for in the way of sharing is just a greeting like Hi and how are you. We have a fellowship once a month at different homes and this is where the deeper sharing takes place .. There is no 'just dropping in once in a while' that I know of. It's total committment or 'hit the road Jack' in VA. Surely even this is not different in California. jt
