Here are some additional thoughts I had about the topic - thanks to everyone who has begun to address some already -- What does anybody think about the purposes, pros, cons, consequences, implication, or caveats of the practice of post meeting prayers? How would you respond to something like...

I suspect there would be "unfortunate effects" as a result of not taking part, especially in some communities It would in many regions or communities I didn't get a chance to inquire more deeply. I'd be curious. We used to growing up. I assume many still do Yes, I was in several school...

Hunh?? 🤔 no idea. if immortality is conditional, you wouldn't.

No society is perfect, but it's so easy to take what we have for granted and fail to realize how good we have it. In comparison with much of human history, we have it so, so good... Always room for improvement The very fact that the ideals we think we fall short of -- even seem possible to us...

I learned from a visiting acquaintance, who moved down south a couple of years ago, that at her job down there, her colleagues hold prayers at the end of meetings during the day at work. This is apparently something where it is merely assumed everybody would participate. My acquaintance joked...

Bravery and perseverance😣 when facing those things which are ungood -🙈🙉🙊🖤👿 And ironically enough, yet fittingly, learning from our British friends "Keep Calm and Carry On" It's a grand old flag! Freedom and justice for all! 🥰 😇👼:cool:

Well, there's value in celebrating what we have and could lose - are losing -? (I also must stop) and there are many ways to celebrate - my husband and I usually drive to see a dog show -- we've done that for 25 years now, there's always an all breed dog show on the 4th at a regional event...

Not sure why the eyeroll but... If there is such as thing as 'some are saved and some are unsaved,' then yes, it is absolutely reasonable that life after death is only for the saved and the unsaved get death. Yes, that is thoroughly reasonable. As to whether it is doctrinal or scriptural in any...

You had earlier said "The idea that G-d somehow 'blots out' souls, is very similar to the belief of atheists" Then Nope! I don't mean any of those things. What I'm trying to say is much, much, much simpler. Go back to your earlier point "The idea that G-d somehow 'blots out' souls, is very...

Interesting. Source?
