I volunteered once to do Bible study with kids held in juvenile detention. I thought it was going pretty well - I was using a book written by a layman on studying The Lord’s Prayer - I can’t remember the exact name of it right now. It generated some really good discussion very much non-denominational. Well, I was contacted by the so-called group leader a few months in - met out in the lobby and this guy got in my face and shoved his thumb into my face and said what do you see and I hesitated and I said I see your thumb. He says no it’s the candle It’s the light of Jesus leading these kids. Etc. etc. etc. anyway I inadvertently signed up for Bible study being led by southern Baptist. Well, I’m not a southern Baptist. Well I was kicked out of that group. I wasn’t supposed to go against the grain. I was supposed to go in and Tell these kids to profess and be saved and that was the only “capitalize only” way to be saved. Well, like I said earlier, my dad was Jewish so I can’t say that.

I atttended Quaker friends mtgs for awhile - basically I like the beliefs , acceptance of all; the group was small & lost its mtg place
