Ken and Judith were killing time yakking about J.J. needs to be Hitt:

 > The Bible specifically forbids public prayer.

 KY> Really?  Please enlighten me on where I can find this.


"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray
standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.
I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.  But when
you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who
is unseen.  Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward
you."

Matthew 6:5-6

Ken...it seems rather clear that it is saying to pray in private, that God
(or at least Jesus, who is the speaker of this passage) does not answer
public prayer.

So what's the point of doing it?
