What do you think of people who don't have anything better to do than report prayer requests?

Question

That's just really pathetic.

Answer 1

Remember Satan is their father and it will all make sense.

Answer 2

i know. the same thing happen to me. maybe we need to give them a different heading.  i just asked God to touch you and anyone that you are praying for to heal, to protect against evil, and create balance  in the name of Jesus Christ. i claim it, receive it and i thank you Lord.  amen.

  

Answer 3

They are only here to disrupt serious spiritual discussions. They have no morals.

Answer 4

Those namby-pamby, wishy-washy, cutesy-putesy prayer requests...  

Answer 5

They get removed so fast it comes from the moderators.  Yahoo doesn't want this to become boring, so they take them down.  It also is blatantly disregarding the rules.

Answer 6

It's not pathetic.  This is not the place for prayer requests.  This is a quesstion and answer forum.  Prayer requests waste my time, and they waste the time of everyone.  They should be reported.  Praise Jebus.  

Answer 7

I think it's ridiculous, but so is the way Y!A is moderated.  There are so many asinine and insulting questions that clog up R&S.  A few prayer requests are not hurting anyone.  It may be less frustrating to email some of your contacts to get prayers going or add the request in at the end of a "real" question.  

  

Answer 8

I can understand that many do not wish the forum to be clogged 24/7 with prayer requests,of a less than serious nature..But to report questions that are urgent and to apethetically disreguard a request to share in the burden,of  an R/S family member? I am a Christian,but know many Atheists on this forum that are willing to look the other way and at least offer well-wishes and encouragement,to one who is hurting....

It's not only pathetic...it's childish....

Here I go again on my soapbox...

1. I never report anyone or any question

2. I never thumbs down any answer

3. I never block other members

4. I star every question,that I answer...

5. I am not intimidated by those who do not share my beliefs.

6..I know what I believe and why I believe it.

7..I am secure in my personhood,as well as my convictions...

I challenge others to review this list of 7 points and check the ones that apply to you,specifically...Not what sounds right,but what actually applies to you...

Not bragging....Trying to lead...

(((Jan P.)))...You are always so encouraging to me and to others...Soft answers in  love,yet uncomprimising in the faith of Jesus Christ...

(((Sheryl)))...Thank you...Haven't seen you in a while!

(((Robert)))...Yeah,the elusive level 7...Isn't Yahoo central supposed to mail a gold R/S class ring,with my avatar stamped on it, to me?...lol

Answer 9

i agree with bobby.   although i'm not a christian i am willing to send all the positive energy that i can spare to anyone who needs it.  especially an r&s member.

most of these requests are from friends, or for their loved ones.  why report it?  i agree that it's petty...just like most of the other things that get reported.

why bother even looking at it if it bothers them?   i wish that i could answer that.

my thoughts.

*waves at bobby*

Answer 10

I think they need to get a life. There isn't a rule that says you HAVE to pray for someone, or even read the question.

(((Bobby))) I like your guidelines

Answer 11

They are against the terms of service. I guess you think you don't have to obey the rules because you answer to a higher authority.

Answer 12

I think the same thing of them as I do people who post prayer requests in a Q & A forum on religion and spirituality.

Answer 13

Almost as pathetic as the prayer requests themselves :P

Answer 14

Why do atheists and anti-christians report christian prayer and think they can mock,***,LOL,blaspheme,etc.Which don't answer the question and certainly doesn't follow YA guidelines.

Bonzai bobby you reched level 7.

Answer 15

Do I report them? No.

Do I understand why people blatantly disregard the terms of service and then gripe about their "question" being removed?

Again, no.

And I agree with the other poster. I have seen some of these vanish within seconds. That is not people reporting the question. That is YA removing the question.

Answer 16

Good Answer (((Bobby)))

I agree it's childish to report them and I try and pray for the ones that delete the requests....that God will change their hearts of stone (hate & disregard)  into hearts of flesh (compassion)

Bobby you are leading....I don't thumbs down anymore.  And try to star every question. (sometimes I forget.)
