Don’t know…but I did hear, years ago, that it’s bad karma to pray for someone who hasn’t asked, or doesn’t want, you to. I personally have a problem with the hand-holding thing in church, or around the table at grace. Don’t like it. (There doesn’t seem to be any right way to decline, at the table, either. ) I think everyone should just say their own, private thanks, silently.

I just googled the hand-holding thing— guess what? There are many, many people who don’t like it. Sometimes in a group situation, being against something everyone else is doing is awkward…disengaging. I’m still not going to do it…
fantaziya: Then why you are asking? Are you bored?
He tosses out a topic or word or phrase and then sits back to see what others have to say…it’s kind of a passive-aggressive behavior. Participate or not…sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. I would say he’s bored. (I personally don’t like people who ask a question just so they can argue with you…)
