    Mormons Pray In MEETINGS!

    I was just reading the KJV in Matthew Chapter 6 (making good progress on the thing, ain't I) and it says:
    5:And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
    6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

    So this seems to me to mean that prayers should not be said in public open church meetings (since we Christians don't have synagogues), but only in private. Now, I haven't actually been to a Landover Baptist Church official meeting (yet) but I do know that they believe EVERY WORD of the KJV and that must mean they don't do this terrible praying in public at the beginning and end of meetings (and sometimes in the middle) the way the Mormons did back when I was a Mormon.

    I am so glad to find this Landover Baptist Church where I know I'll never have to hear a publicly said prayer (since Jesus himself said not to do it).

    This Landover Baptist Church has been a real blessing in my life, I just can't wait until I have the chance to get there in person and meet all the good, righteous, loving, caring Christians who would never, ever think of praying in public.

    Landover is the most private Church in the country. (Come to think of it, it is The Only Church in the country, the rest are social meeting places for false Christians.) "Enter into thy closet" is strictly obeyed! All 11 fully equipped chapels, Four 2,000 seat sanctuaries, Three 5,000 seat main sanctuaries are officially classed as "closets." Each seat on every pew is marked "Private".

    Now, I haven't actually been to a Landover Baptist Church official meeting (yet)
    and are unlikely to if you carry on like this.

    You are entirely correct, see above.

    I have the chance to get there in person and meet all the good, righteous, loving, caring Christians who would never, ever think of praying in public.
    Your tithing rate is abysmal! My faithful retainer, "Boy" gives more. If you persist in robbing God, the nearest you will get to Landover is seeing it on a map.
