Does anyone else lead small groups? I've led a few small groups over the last few years.
I was leading one small group, 3 people and myself. And the one woman involved starting accusing me of being sexist and dishonest and incompetent. But, she kept attending. It's kinda funny in that I would sometimes announce that I would not be attending, and I would ask if anyone else would step up and lead the group that week. No one ever did... until the very end, when she decided she would lead once when I couldn't make it. I'm sure she did fine.
I finally got tired of the disrespect and decided I was too busy doing other things, and let them know I would be taking a break. I thought maybe someone else would step up and volunteer to lead the group, but no one did. But, they immediately started pestering me and wondered what they could do to get me to come back. I merely reiterated that I was pretty busy, and that I couldn't predict when I'd be back.
Does their behavior strike anyone else as odd? It's like they were saying,(I can only assume the others agreed with her... they didn't argue or stand up for me)"we think you suck... but, we want you to keep leading our group."
