Is there such a thing as too much fellowship?

It is simply a one-way monologue, of which I learn nothing, because I can neither ask, participate, or say what I think. I just simply sit and listen.

And in some churches it goes further than that. Not only can I not speak out to ask questions or disagree while the monolog is going on but I am told that I should not even question in the privacy of my own home or even in my own thoughts.
