All prayer requests or anything of a religious nature belong in Among Friends IMHO.

I know what you mean about the traffic flow on CC. I rarely venture into the other boards because there are very little responses sometimes. Also, when I venture on the board I may have limited time to sit around and wait for an engaged response. Honestly, if it is allowed I will start looking for it because I believe in the power of prayer! Hopefully it will be an uplifting and positive addition to the forum and those who are uninterested will not make it their mission to sabotage. Hopefully they will practice what they preach and if they see a message regarding prayer and they are anti prayer or religion they will stay away.

Smoky,  it doesn't matter where, I'm just wondering what the mods want. That's all.

It won't happen at all if they say 'no'. 

More people visit this forum than Among Friends.

@gloriajean, I understand exactly where you're coming from.

 As you well know the Mr. Lucky thread is extremely important to so, so many for our Showme.  It was within the thread that other's requested prayers- either someone complained or a moderator felt it necessary to delete the requests and the responses so that was that.  Within the thread, not bothering anyone else but between people that have the same values and beliefs.  It honestly bothered me but yet, I'll keep the rest of my thoughts to myself.

PS I visit Among Friends quite a bit.

Respectfully, the Mr Lucky thread is not private or exclusive or exempt from the rules.  It resides in CC and as such needs to stay within the parameters of  the CC forum.

Each thread is important to someone. Not one person in this forum is more important than the next.  I would think that if posting religious content is really important, you could move the thread to AF where religious postings are allowed.

I am not in favor of a prayer thread in CC.  Among Friends is the more acceptable forum.

@PamfromCT, it's not the topic per se (witness the Turkey coup thread still standing), but as has been said multiple times by moderators about various threads, it's the *content.* If a prayer thread gets posts about *other* than requesting prayers, some of those individual posts may be offensive to others, and touch on deletable standards.

A prayer thread, to me, would be people requesting prayers and others saying they will pray for them, and expressing sympathy. And that's ALL. But there will be sermonizing posts, extensive scripture quotes, proselytizing posts, End-of-the-World posts, What's Wrong With the World/Country posts, bigoted posts, etc.

It's not the fault of those who start the thread and post as requested, but it will happen, and the moderators may be asked to delete some posts. And when some posts are deleted, the posters will get up in arms about QVC being anti-(specific)religion, etc.

So, even if the concept is simple and straightforward, the execution will become messy. I think anyone who has been on the forums awhile has seen it happen with religious/prayer request threads already.

There are prayers being sent to johns wife, it hasn't been deleted.

Since that request would involve a change in the Community Standards (which says religion, politics, controversial, etc. are not allowed), the Mods may not be able to make that decision.

That may require a higher authority at QVC.

But if religion is alllowed, next up would be requests to allow politics & controversial topics, in the name of 'being fair'.

If it's being allowed in Among Friends, why rock the boat?

I think probably because it is a one time event. Not an on-going thread.

Frankly it should have been placed in AF in the first place, but it's rather too late to move it now.

John didn't ask for prayers, he asked for "Thoughts for my wife", he can't control how posters respond.

Like maybe a request for the non-believers here.  Now, that would go over well:/

I think it would be nice,there is alot worse than praying.
