Sometimes you can be better off prying than praying. | ||

When you think your girlfriend is cheating on you?  | ||

Prying: literal action? Looking into other people's business? Investigating something? Praying: In the religious sense? or simply wishing strongly that something will happen? or not happen? | ||

When you think your girlfriend is cheating on you? definitely, but in this case completely irrelevant  Prying: literal action? yes Looking into other people's business? Investigating something? yes, this Praying: In the religious sense? yes or simply wishing strongly that something will happen? or not happen? no to these | ||

a little blooper - perhaps it was a bit misleading to say yes to the "literal action" - I did not mean it in the physical sense, just the investigation. Sorry if I caused any confusion. | ||

OK. Did a person try both prying and praying, and found prying worked better? Did they pray asking to gain information? Is the specific religion relevant? How many people involved [insert lateral list 1-6.5 billion]? | ||

Was the individual a Crime Detective? I can imagine that he'd be better off prying rather than praying. | ||

Religion: Christianity? A certian form of christianity? Muslim? Jewish? Hindu? Buddhist? Animist? Are the 22-ish a congregation? Was one praying? Were they all? Was one or more prying? Time period relevant? | ||

oh, I forgot this: Time period relevant? yesish, but the period is more relevant than the exact date | ||

In this context does prying mean: asking questions? spying on others? Looking through records? something else? | ||
| Eliot (Eliot)
|
Period, eh? Pre-reformation? Or, like, reformation? 17th century? 18th? 19th? 20th? Present day? Catholicism? Were any of these people being pried upon (if you know what I mean)? Was the prying being done for the good of the church/religion? For it's destruction? | ||

I meant Cadfile but it was a long shot in the dark and I can see its wrong. | ||
| Eliot (Eliot)
|
Were any of the 22 people the one(s) whose privacy was being invaded, I meant? Does the prying involve hearing something? Seeing something? Reading something? Confession relevant? | ||
| Simon Downham (Beroean)
|
Does it involve opening something? | ||

I meant Cadfile but it was a long shot in the dark and I can see its wrong. It might not be but I still do not know what Cadfile is? do you mean Brother Cadfael? if so, the answer is No Were any of the 22 people the one(s) whose privacy was being invaded, I meant? I see. Yesss......ish Does the prying involve hearing something? No Seeing something? Yes Reading something? No Confession relevant? No Does it involve opening something? Probably, although not necessarily. | ||

Cadfael - that's it - not gadfly :-) | ||
| Eliot (Eliot)
|
Does it involve seeing one of the people do something? More than one of them? Doing something sinful? | ||
