Why choose a conservative grouping to try and make friends with?

Is this a pattern? Do you often try to assimilate into groups with oppositional views to your own?

Do you find yourself at loggerheads and then decide there's something wrong with either you or them because you can't meet in the middle? Or compromise?

Or is this bible study thing a one off?
Good question!

I met them through another friend who recruited me to meet them for a free trip to Israel. I did not have much particular interest in bible study or travel to Israel. Yet, I went for the trip with an open mind. I was not especially moved or inspired from the journey, TBH. What I came away with was that the leaders are wonderful, genuine people and I enjoy helping them in their mission.

But, here I am at a crossroad. While I support their ideals, I don’t see things the same way. I’m like the hooker with the heart of gold, lol!

I was saying to the leader at the last class, “Don’t think you are going to get ME back on the farm!”

I meet so many phonies, users, and cons, it is so nice to know someone so honest who really walks the walk.
