All the groups are run like that, there's a very real reason for doing those things, even tho it may be difficult for newbies who just want to cut the crap and get to the talking about problems.
Do you have an idea about why the meetings are run in that way?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
