People have been mentioning their housegroups around here recently and I thought I'd follow suit. I belong to a house group but I rarely attend, I feel very guilty for not attending because one of the leaders is a really sweet man with a good heart. However I have reasons for not going which probably aren't very worthy. The other house group leader can't cope with anyone disagreeing with what she believes, which doesn't lead to good discussions (understatement). In the past when someone has offered a suggestion for what a Bible passage means that doesn't fit with the evangelical view we have had tears and Bible stroking.
When I do attend I do one of three things
1) Say the answer that we are meant to say (it's usually pretty obvious)
2) Keep quiet - at this stage so do most people, this is when the leader then says the answer you're supposed to say
3) Say what I really want to say which may cause tears and Bible stroking (though that wasn't me above)
Ultimately there are better ways of spending my Tuesday evenings, many, many better ways.
