 Years ago there was a prayer request thread here, started by Rapunzel, and I took it over when she left.  It was going good, but all of a sudden, it wasn't used anymore, and it disappeared.  Would that stil be allowed here? 

 

There certainly isn't anything wrong with having people praying for others.

If it were to be acceptable, I would guess it would be under Among Friends.

No, there wouldn't be anything wrong asking for prayers. The world could use all the prayers that it can get lately.

 

But, you never know, it just might be "against the rules".

 

Just sayin'.

 

Personally, I wouldn't mind a prayer request thread, but it all depends on any particular day.

 

Some stay.

 

Some go.

Hi, Gloria Jean -- I imagine a prayer request would be fine on Among Friends.

It wouldn't bother me, but I'm sure others will be upset.

 

Among Friends would probably be the better place for it.

Asking for prayers is okay but more appropriate, to some, in Among Friends.  Several of us have had posts poofed because of talking about religion/prayers and etc, and they weren't in a thread about religion.  They were poofed from the Mr. Lucky thread for some unknown reason..

@gloriajean That would be so wonderful to have that again. I believe in the power of prayer and would be there daily to pray for others!Heart

@gloriajean Hi Gloria, I think a prayer thread is great, however it should probably be in Among Friends so it doesn't get poofed. Everytime a thread is deleted in the community forum due to politics, the complaints begin about religious threads being allowed. Just a heads up as I enjoy your daily threads.

It's good to see there is some interest in a Prayer Request Thread.

 

So I ask the Moderators what they think?  It used to be here in this forum that used to be called Viewpoints because more posters are here, but it's up to those in charge.  I won't start one unless I have persmissionl

 

Moderators?

I, personally, pray for others' all the time.  I still feel a prayer request thread would be more appropriate in Among Friends, not Community Chat.

 

We have enough threads/posts and battles poofed as is.  I am not being disrespectful to your request OP, I am respectfully disagreeing.
