Rob, if the meeting isn't a 'group' then how does it go about having a group conscience or business meeting with no members? There are several of us who attend faithfully, and one man in particular who does the set-up, but it's not considered a 'group'.

Thanks thus far to those who shared. I can do as much research as the next man or woman, I was looking for your experience and insight more than anything.

And, to answer Rob's question, there were two newcomers. One seemed quite affected by what he witnessed, and while unfortunate, I do recall being new myself and witnessing a similar incident. I was very upset at the time, but thankfully it did not deter me from coming back. I hope I can say the same for the two members there today.
