with no time for what you call "sharing" We answer questions from the study we have worked on at home the previous week and we listen
to 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
I did not say that I drop in once in a while ................. but that is not important to you. You will continue to misapply whatever is said, by me or anyone. A very bad habit, Judy. JdWait just a minute, you wrote: These 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. JohnWhat I am saying is that this would not be acceptable in Virginia. Here it is wholehearted committment or youdon't have a slot (and there is presently a waiting list). Also if you don't do your lesson during the week you lose the right to speak on the day of the study so it's nothing one can breeze in and out of. Sure doesn't sound like the same thing to me and I am not misapplying anything so cut the accusation. jt
