This is for comment #2 -
somehow you got it replied to you Mike and it doesn't ... thank you for being so sweet.;)
well you can't pray for them, you can pray about them - just that they come to their senses.
If you don't mind me asking, have you ever had someone very close to you be disfellowshippes/leave the truth?
My (former) best friend was (and I think still is) disfellowshipped. My little brother disassociated himself 6 years ago. A really good friend of the family's was disfellowshipped a few years ago. So, yes I have.
I dunno if you were repling to me, but I had someone in my hall that was more or less like my grandfather get dfed, and i prayed all the time that he would come back, and he did, but it took 2 years, it was hard, but it was really amazing when he did come back.
hey mike i was replying to starshipTrooper - somehow the comment got posted with you.
But the thank you for being sweet part - that was for you...
hhaha oh ok.. sorry about the confusion, haha
