Greg, I know that some people here don't believe in prayer, but I do.  My
husband died 3 years ago so I am no longer a caregiver, and don't need
prayer for this particular thing.
You may get some objections.

Prayer list

I would like to create a prayer list here. All of us who are caring for
someone with dementia or who has a loved one suffering from dementia
knows how hard it is. The patient needs our prayers too. Some have asked
for prayers on this NG but all of us need prayers.
If you want to be placed on the prayer list please just reply and place
your first name or nickname on the bottom of the list. We can all pray
for everyone on the list and receive the benefits of group prayer. I
will place my name here now.

please don't.  this is NOT a religious list.

although i don't object to religion, and i have frequently
included folks from this group and their LOs in my own prayers, i
think this is a bad precedent.

if you want to start a prayer list, please go to google groups
and start a mailing list.  you can then post the information
about the mailing list here once a month or so, and i'm sure
folks won't object.

but i do object to cluttering up this newsgroup with prayer list
junk.

Dear Greg,

This isn't a religious list, but it is a support list.   I have often told
people they were in my prayers here, and they were included in my prayers.

I have no objection if it is well noted as prayer related and labeled "Off
Topic" in the header, so that those who find it offensive can skip it.

Nobody wants to be assailed by lots of data on other people's religious
beliefs, so if it starts to sound the slightest bit like proselytizing or
gets too obtrusive, you are going to hear complaints.... maybe even from me.

In other words in my opinion you can put together your list, post it
discreetly with the header saying "OT - Prayer list" when appropriate, but
more than that is going to be pushing the boundaries a bit.
