You feel more comfortable and in a free environment to think for yourself, analyze what is being preached, and filter it accordingly with your best knowledge of the Bible.
You do not get distracted by the material, or other people's looks or behavior (all these, by the way, started with the careless and reckless shift from gathering at Christian people's homes to gather in specific buildings βmunicipal buildings of the Roman Empireβ that were called βbasilicasβ in Latin and later βchurchesβ).
You do not get to see or suffer people's hypocrisy, as when you greet them with honest friendliness and care, but you get a made-up smile and ironic short words, or perplexing (and distracting) overdoing of friendliness as a response. Another example on this was for me to see a lady of a well-to-do couple, ostentatiously lifting up and putting back her tumbler of coffee at a Sunday morning preaching. Only one example of many people using tumblers. Sorry βbut not sorryβ
