Answer 1

Well a freethinking group is free to tlk about anything, and more importantly is free to change or divert the topic infinite number of times in 1 meeting, so any suggestions you get from this question may not neccessarily result in discussion. In addition, the topics you choose to bring up with the group are your discretion, so rejecting the idea of bringing up something you personally don't want to talk about may be contrary to the feeling of the group whole. Therefore, I suggest you take all suggestions witha grain of salt, but not discading any reasonable suggestions till they're brought up with the group.
The name 'freethinking group' implies your open to the idea of talking about near anything and everything, yet you've placed it in the 'religion and spirituality' catagory, which indicates your group is focused on being freethinking about spiritual things primarily, meaning no fixed text or belief system. This is a good, positive, highly adaptive understanding to share with a group, which extends from quantum physics to the experience felt while walking through the door a moment ago. for some ideas, look at some of the material my group in Perth WA studies:
