Pilgrim,

My original question was not to bash all small groups in a church. I too have been in groups that have been a tremendous blessing and learning experience. When run properly, groups are edifying and a great benefit to a church and its members. It's just that some of my more recent experiences have made me wary of the danger groups can pose for a church.
