Should a Christian join the "roundtable"

[maw444]

It has been suggested to me that I join the local "round table" group.

My question is, is it one of those "odd" societies like the Masons, in which case I would not want to have anything to do with it?

Does any one know?

If this 'round table' is the usual group of 'experts' that discuss locally important issues you should not join as they are rife with political and economic influences and considerations that a Christian is not equipped to deal with. They'll chew you up and spit you out, and with help from the moderator. I have been invited to sit in on such a round table on a local radio station. I decline for this very reason. I email my opinions to the show and let it go at that.

Business Breakfast Clubs are better for networking.

Is it a one-time meeting, or ongoing? Is it connected with any decision-making groups, like parliament?

Where I'm from, roundtable is a generic term, usually as wiseguy describes. A hosting organization wants to show they have big names, but they don't necessarily want to hear/show what the experts have to say - they'd prefer boosting ratings by pitting opposing viewpoints.

There are good examples of roundtables too. A quieter host might want a balanced set of opinions shown. In a conference, it's a chance to meet a lot of big names at once and hear their outlooks, so if you're invited to a conference where this is just one meeting, then it's a flattering and reasonable thing to take advantage of.

And looks good on the CV.
