re: #243 Joe Bacon 🌹

From Kindergarten to 12th grade, I just mouthed the words. Remember the Jehovah’s Witnesses who refused to stand because it violated their religion. Of course the teachers and kids picked on them for being “un-American”, forgetting about a certain Supreme Court decision.

Also remember the School Prayer decision Until 2nd grade we were required to pray the Lord’s Prayer. Big fight at the School Board about what version was recited. Several people lost their School Board seats because they voted to force all students to recite the Catholic version…

I read recently that the Pope wants the Lord’s Prayer rewritten because the “lead us not into temptation” implies that God and not Satan is the one deliberately leading humans astray. That line always bugged me, too. The “debts” versus “trespassers” thing threw me for a loop when I left my Presbyterian church and encountered the LP in the wild.
