Other-poll poll When you say ` I`ll pray for you`, do YOU really pray for the person, or is it just something you say out of habit?

Nope, I always pray for the person. We never really know a person`s situation.....I am a true believer that prayer changes things :-)

I don`t pray and am not particularly religious, so I completely get what jenakers said. I`ve been told by people that they will pray for me a couple of times, and to be quite honest, it makes me uncomfortable. It`s one thing to ask for someone to pray for you, but to me its just not necessary. It makes you think..am I doing something wrong? Whats wrong with me that I need praying for? I can take care of myself thanks..

I dont want to say something and give false comfort to someone if i might not do it.. Im very thankful if someone chooses to pray for me and my family. I believe in God but im not very religious.. I will say *im thinking about you and your family* bc i know i will be.. but i wont say im going to pray if i may not end up doing it.

♥ ħhlЄy ▫ ßєär ®♥, what are you supposed to say in that situation? i mean, i`m not particularly religious anymore, and i don`t pray often at all. i don`t want to sound rude or anything, it`s just not who i am anymore that`s all i don't feel like people should think i was rude either, because i don't believe the same thing. and like jenakers i don`t say it either, and in bad situations where that`s something people say... i generally don`t know how to comfort someone.

Thats a really good question. I think it`s rude to say uh..thanks though when somebody says they will pray for you?? But I always do it right after that..i pray for alot of people throughout the day.

I say a short one then. If prayer is needed I add them to our prayer list. I agree with all of the ladies (except Jenakers)

california-mom (937.6 days ago)
I do it right after were done talking then later again that night or during the day...

jenakers (937.6 days ago)
I don`t say it. If someone says it to me I just say uh...thanks?

Perhaps if their saying it out of `habit`, then they don`t actually believe in the power of prayer!

MS.mom (937.6 days ago)
oh my...If I say I am going to pray, I am going to pray. I feel like I might get struck dead if I actually didn`t. That`s just wrong!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
