“The main trouble in the church today is not the wolfishness of the wolves; it’s the sheepishness of the sheep.”
How profound.
Sounds like pastors and elders need to sit in on these ladies Bible studies.
If some think “well are the women elders reporting back” then they already have a problem.
Some of these churches are so large they have dozens of break out groups. One guy I work with told me he left a church because it was too large. He said that some of the break out groups were teaching error and the pastor did not know what was going on. So now que in your anigif of the bottomless pit.
