Subject: teach us how to pray
In reply to: UBF member 's message, "Re: Question" on 00:21:41 12/03/04 Fri

He would stop missionaries during the middle of their prayers and told them exactly how to pray. This made me wonder what i was in because I felt that prayer is something intimate that should not be broken.

He'd do the same at home, but here he doesn't even need to do it personally, he has people who do that for him.

The prayer on SWS is organized like this:
-Tuesday or Wednesday receive "prayer topics".
-Friday hand in written prayer for correction.
-Sunday practice "corrected" prayer.
-THEN, go into SWS and recite written prayer.

This is in my opinion a total perversion of the meaning of prayer (intimate contact with God) when someone tells us when, where and mostly WHAT to pray.

This is but one of the many ways in which "God's servant" becomes "God" to the members in Bonn, by mediating their fellowship with God.
