what is the difference between following and being a member of the group? I've been doing Precept studies at church for 13 years and want to do this online one as well.

  1. Frank I would think following would mean you see what is being said here but are not part of the discussion. Being a member of this group allows you to post and share comments. It is like the difference between auditing a course and joining the class. In one case you are more of an observer while in the  other case you are an active participant. So if you want to be part of the discussion...membership would be the way to go here.  Anyone here have something to add?
