ErinCM TheMC I went to a mega church with a bible study like this when I first started reading it. When I told them I was leaving because the “Bible” study and church never actually acknowledge the Bible I was called judgemental and told that if God wanted us to do the things in the Bible, that He personally would have convicted us all, but because they weren’t feeling convicted about their sin, they felt the word of God didn’t apply to them somehow.

@@empnadajhhh9469 yes, you're so right about that. I know my cousin and brother both struggle with this. If I were single, I can't imagine how tough that would be because I know I want Christ as the center and foundation of my marriage... to be honest, I've been married for over a decade and my man is just now coming to church with our son and me. I thought he was a believer when we were dating and engaged, but a couple years in, he realized he only thought he believed. The loneliness I battled as a result led me to a dark place for a couple years. I chose to cling to Christ and continue in prayer for my husband. Being unequally yoked is not good for a relationship. I pray for your strength and conviction. Keep growing in the knowledge of God through His Word. That is far better than compromising for a carnal woman.

[@markamarkawaaawaa]

Unfortunately I have been to a women's Bible study group that was just like this. It was in a rich neighborhood and I immediately felt out of place. It was almost as if every one of the females got off the topic of God as much as possible to keep talking about themselves and pointless gossip. One girl kept talking about an upcoming trip to Vegas, the other was talking about a virtual trainer that costs thousands of dollars and saying how she wanted that, and one of them kept referring to some home-organizing show and was giving everyone tips on how to make their home more presentable. I did not feel the presence of God but instead just felt like I was wasting my time at a housewives convention. I pray for all of those women, I only went twice and decided to quit the group. Even ended up quitting the church that the Bible group was associated with. My family and I have since found an amazing Church that really gets to the root of God's word. God Bless all the women out there, I stand with you! Do not accept all of the sugar being sprinkled into our ears. We are in very prominent biblical times!

[@JosephLachh]

Sadly this represents general “bible study group” whether male or female, but especially youth groups.

I went to a men's bible study where they encouraged us to bring our sons for "training in leadership". About 15 minutes in, I asked a serious question about the topic & was told, "That would take too long to answer & discuss, & some were on a tight schedule that night." 45 minutes from start, closing prayer of the study / prayer for the food was said. 2 HOURS later after ping pong, backyard basketball, & TV football, I was the 1st to leave w my sons. Apparently the "tight schedule" prioritized games over study. What leadership training was taught that night?

I'm actually wanting to start a ladies Bible study group, very soon, that focuses on building godly character, including the 2 sides of gossip (the teller/the listener), fruit of the Spirit, Proverbs 6 that gives that nice little list of the things God hates to see in people's character. A personal revelation God opened my eyes to: we are on a slippery slope when, having the Spirit of God in us, we choose to echo the accuser of the brethren (satan) with our breath & words OVER choosing to echo the angels in Isaiah 6 that are crying "Holy, Holy, Holy." If you are a believer and you are aligning yourself with satan in this respect, not only are you incapable of understanding that gossip is anything but holy, but you are an open door to division within the body of Christ.

I asked the Holy Spirit to give me boldness and it worked. it was a really big lesson for me, understanding that I wasn't helpless to my weaknesses. in fact, my weaknesses are mostly just there so that God can give me the strength Himself.

[@loirocks18]

Fortunately, my Bible studies have usually been pretty good. I could really see some of these fitting psychological support groups. They usually do devolve into feelings seshes where people just process gossip (sometimes about the other members of the group) they've probably processed with 20 other people and no one (including the therapist) says anything helpful or even seem intended to help and I could go on. Not all of them are like that but most are. Actually, I was reading one of those girl wash your face books at the bookstore just a few hours ago (though I can't remember the title of it). I only read a few pages before getting bored. I couldn't imagine reading the whole thing. Yeesh! I just felt like it was one of those self-help books filled with those common sense platitudes that sound good but don't actually help because they're just too ambitious. Seems like the whole book could be reduced to, "just try harder and you'll make it" which anyone who has ever actually believed and done that knows it's not true.

This parody is spot on. It is sad to say, most Bible studies for women are emotional fluff that use Bible verses to validate the inner self or inner desires of women. Check most women Bible study books or lessons and it is geared for this type of talk. I would highly recommend that Christian women check out Susan Heck, Martha Peace, and even you, Allie, for some sound Biblical content in order to study the Word rightly (2 Timothy 2:15).

Eric Smith or, you know, read the Bible and use solid commentaries and dictionaries on the side. I do understand that there is value in hearing reliable witnesses to the faith bring themes out of the scripture into our present moment, or better, hearing them bring a theme present in scripture throughout its length or filling in the background information to better understand what was happening, but, can't we start with scripture?

[@debiethredge3020]

@@agentbflinn1222...rather, Bible plus lexicons and concordances. Commentaries can be so misleading! Forgetting about them can literally be life-changing!

"I know we are supposed to share the gospel.... but I'm an INFP. I mean I cant be expected to right" LOL...….. I've thought it, heard it and now feel like a dingbat for believing that lie!!

I stopped going to women's Bible studies. They were so incredibly shallow that you came away more discouraged than encouraged. It was pretty sad.

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

True! ...but even more discouraging is when the other women think it's great! So many gals I know that come back from women's conferences just beaming ear to ear and so elated over being "spiritually fed"!! Fed with what I say.....not much scripture, that's for sure! So sad!! There are a few good women out there teaching other women, but not as well known as those who write stuff like "Jesus Calling". Open your Bibles ladies...and dig in!

“I just feel…” 🤣

[@shelbycurry721]

That Rachel Hollis book.... BIG OOF. Also when she said "you just CAN'T love others until you love yourself... that's just Bible".... that didn't feel good. Not at all. 😅 I'm afraid you hit the nail on the head!!

[@pocobull]

The day after attending a woman's Bible study, Paul wrote 1 Timothy 2:12.

I’m dumb late but dis is COMEDY!!! 😂😂😂 mannn

[@solideomusical]

Many a great bible study is ruined because when believers come together they are usually more interested in venting and talking ('sharing' things or asking irrelevant questions) than listening and learning.

[@sabl6381]

Lol, this is why I'm not currently in a women's Bible study. There is so much fluffy selfhelp to wade through.
