I often do incite and offend, and do it in insidious and calculated ways, and I thrive on conflict though I may pretend not to (I was a political cartoonist in a past life, finding chinks in people's armour and wedging them open) —so it's not that big a deal if you react as if that's what I'm doing even when I'm not.

You peple behave as if I tried to stop you from praying for one another. I did no such thing. I simply gave a biblical opinion and you folks went berserk over it. But if you had simply continued praying for each other that is entirely your buisiness. Had you done so and had I interfered then you could have legitimately claimed I disrupted your activity. But that is simply not the case.

Perhaps your reaction is based on the message itself which makes you feel guilty. After all, what i quoted or mentioned as an afterthought is common knowledge and is preached regularly in church. I don't see anyone going berserk over it there. So your extremely unusual reaction to it smacks of a person with a bad conscience.

I just want to say how much I respect and admire Hazer and all the people on this thread who have been kind and caring.

Though i respect a human for being human, I do not respect itolerance and irrationality. Much less do i respect anyone who jumps in and encorages it.

Just wanted to say that.

I have asked administration to delete all my posts at your prayer thread so you can resume ypur activitiues in peace. No need to reply to this in an argumentative or self-righteous gloating or counselling way. That only feeds the controversy since requires me to admit full ulpability which I do not. So if admninistration is really concerned about your dire spiritual needs for mutual prayer they will erase all my suppposedly disruptive posts. If not they will remain on your sacred thread completely contrary to my wishes. Which means that then you can then proceed as you wish.

Kind Regards

Since this thread has been ignored in order to reinforce the JW like shunning isolatin policy, I will henceforth utilize it to jingerly post model prayers as found in the Bible and other places. Prayers that edify and teach us how to approach God properly and not in selfish unscripural ways. After all, why let the thread go to waste over trifles? No? : )

When Jesus' Apostles asked to teach them how to pray he provided them with the model prayer called the Our Father posted below. It serves as a guideline upon which all our prayers should be based and reveals the order of importance of the things we should pray for.


Our Father
The prayer which Jesus Christ taught to His disciples.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tradition al version:
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newer version:

Our Father, Who is in heaven,
Holy is Your Name;
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Our Father is based on these passages from the Bible:

Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4.

Well, I cannot fight administration. If it wants to erase what I post and propagate things I request be erased then so be it.

I never posted the first three posts on this thread. This thread had been completely blank up to now in that area. If indeed there is aversion to my presence here by administration then i suggest they ban me instead of playing senile childish games.

The above words are a quottation from chell and not mine. I was quoting duh!

Please notice that the model prayer begins with two things

1. Sanctification

2. God's name

If a person doesn't know either of these then he cannot be praying as jesus instructed us to.

Thanx for deleting the comments at the regular prayer requst thread. Although i would have preferred them to be completely gone at least here they bother no one but me. LOL.

Kind regards Radrook
Apologies for my misunderstaning and thanks again for removing them from that thread.
