[quote:Anonymous Coward 70963845:MV80NTEzMjAxXzgyMjI5ODA0Xzc5RDY5NDU1] [quote:cosmicgypsy:MV80NTEzMjAxXzgyMjI5NDgwX0JGNzgyMzIw] I was trained, then forced, to say the "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" prayer every night by my mother. The prayer creeped me out so much as a little girl, what with it talking about dying while asleep and someone taking my soul....but I had a kind of fundamental awareness, even as a little girl, and I did not want to be saying those words. I mean, I told my mom I didn't want to say the prayer, and she stood there to make sure I did, every night, until my father made her stop. I only just made my peace with praying about two years ago, and I'm nearing 62. They become important, our prayers, when they're done properly.....but too many people just use them. [/quote] My parents said that prayer with me every night also, are your parents weirdo narcissists too? I hated saying it. I used to often lay in bed as a kid thinking how messed up they were. Lord knows if it wasn't for their self serving attitudes making them think their status in the church would benefit them, I would have never spent my life seeking the truth. They are now both currently insane, I wouldn't trust them with a lawnmower, somehow I made it out without being a retarded psychopath. I'll give them their credit where its due, I forgive them.

God wants a you to give before granting your need. It is a soul sacrifice. Don't take it easy.
