I live with my family, I have also lived in houses with groups of friends. What I and most people understand by this is very different from what happens in community houses. i.e segregtion of men and women, the focus of life around meetings, the way the common purse is administered, how life is dictated by things over which people have no control.
By saying you are simply living with a load of mates implies something that is not true, because the impression it gives people is so far removed from the reality.
Have you ever lived co operatively with others outside of the jesus army and what do you think the differences were ?
