I'm confessing this with the expectation that I will be scolded by you. I know. It's immature and irrational. I tried Community Bible Study tonight. We started late which involved a whole lot of awkward sitting around alone. Then the speaker got up and asked us to each pay $60 more to attend. The "young adults" 30 and under got excused to get to know each other and go have fun. The rest of us were herded into discussion groups. My group had 19. Is that really small? When asked our favorite thing to do, most women began with lament about having no free time. Yuck! I was told our community building would consist of potlucks with the other 150+ people there. Then we spent about 20 minutes discussing inclement weather and what to do in case of snow.
We were supposed to go back to a lecture, but I darted out. My introversion attacked in a huge way. I'm sure this is what I would have done on the first day of school in elementary every year if that had been an option.

I think I would have done the same thing. Small group of 19? I don't think I could have shared with a small group of 3 people I didn't know. And why do you have to pay for a Bible study? Good for you and for being brave enough to try something new!
It also seems like your "common sense after 3 red flag" instinct kicked in. Good for You!!
I would write more... but I am sooo busy with all my important life stuff.
