What our Blessed Mother would like you to do:
| 
Mar 12 20:07 UTC 1999 |
What our Blessed Mother would like you to do:
1. Pray 3 hours a day, (including the 15 decade Rosary).
2. Fast every Wednesday (for the Holy Spirit to rain down his graces on
the world), and Friday (for peace in the world), on bread and water.
3. Go to confession at least once a month.
4. Consecrate yourself to the sorrowful, immaculate heart of Mary by
doing the following every first Saturday of the month for 5 months in a
row:
7 Go to confession.
7 Receive Holy Communion.
7 Pray the 15 decade Rosary.
7 Meditate on our Blessed Mother for 15 minutes.
She promises if these things are done with devotion and fervor, she will
bestow enough graces so that you will not suffer eternal fire.

I kinda enjoy the thought of suffering eternal fire, so long as you
aren't my room mate.

I'm a little worried this was put into Coop.
...How do we get Grex to pray? ...Fast?

It was put in scifi too. I don't think the author was being selective.
(How do you get sci-fi geeks to fast?)

Hm. Should I open Grex board meetings with a prayer? If so, what should
we pray for? (Just trying to make this item vaguely on-topic for
Coop...)

It gives me a sense of relief to know this person is
focused on God. It could be worse.

Invite all those present to submit a prayer on a 3x5 card, draw one of
'em from a hat, and read it. Those who didn't want a prayer could turn
in a blank card, favorite quote, joke, or whatever. Okay by you, scott?

But that still forces the rest of us to endure when we don't win. ;-)

i propose that the card drawn be taken out of the meeting room and read by
the person submitting it, and when they return, the meeting can continue.

I would demand equal time for a rebuttal, plus all cards would have to be
posted 7 days in advance so that I can research my arguments properly. ;)

What if remmers drew a blank card and declared a moment of silence with
optional meditation upon blankness? Under Robert's Rules, could a board
member protest the optionality of the meditation and force a vote for
manditory meditation over remmers' objection if the subject of meditation
was an agenda item to be chosen by secret decision of each meditating
board member? Would a 2/3 vote be needed?

just who is this Robert fellow, and why does he have a set of rules
named after him?
what if meditation is against a person's religious beliefs? Could said
person sue grex for religious discrimination? If the prayer mentions
women, somebody could get offended, and sue grex for sexual harrassment.
Grexian Meditation is not a good idea :)

if we meditate about an upcoming orthodiontic procedure, can we
transcend dental medication?
