A little further explanation: I am setting this site up for my family. I did not want to create a public forum, mainly because I don’t want our family discussions publicly viewable. So I had set my original group up as private. Since I did not have a public group, I was unable to post anything from the “Forums” tab (Group Forums Directory) since private groups are not shown in the drop-down menu there. This is where the confusion arose and why I started this topic. It was not until we set up a public group that we figured out that it was set up this way on purpose. So since our site will not have any public groups, I have disabled bbPress Forums from the BuddyPress Component Setup in the WordPress Dashboard.
