Another prayergate:

The spin: Seniors not allowed to pray before meals.

The reality: Seniors can not be led in group prayer to Jesus Christ before getting a meal subsidized by the government.

“Rutherford said the moment of silence was introduced to protect that funding. He said although the change may have been misinterpreted, perhaps his company could have done a better job selling it.

“It’s interpreted that we’re telling people that they can’t pray, but we aren’t saying that,” he said. “We’re asking them to pray to themselves. Have that moment of silence.”

BTW, I don’t even thing you should suggest that they be asked to pray, but that’s a option.

prayer.
