It’s not uncommon for shopping malls to have rules of conduct. Some places ban saggy pants. Others won’t let you ask people for money. But a mall in Georgia may have one of the most unusual rules -- they won’t let shoppers pray – not even over their meals.
Meet Tammy Brantley of Dublin, Ga. She’s a wife, a mom and an avid power walker. She’s also a person of deep faith in God.
Tammy is the co-founder of “Dublin Girls Run,” a group of local ladies that combines Southern fellowship with physical fitness.

I now pick my battles very carefully. There are things worth fighting for but, for me, not many.
“There is not a jury in that county that would convict”
Oh I’d bet they could find 6 people who would.
Exactly.
Turning the other cheek is taking a blow for the Lord without retaliating. It is applicable today.
However, the Word does not say to turn the cheek again and again. I figure that the first blow is intended against the Lord, and further blows are intended to injure me, so that turning the other cheek after the first is a dare for another blow that might very well lead to painful retribution.
I do not understand your meaning of Old Testament warriors. What would Old Testament warriors do today? March around the mall blasting trumpets until the walls came down? Then storm the mall and kill every living thing inside it?
Wonder why the article didn’t name the mall?
I’ll say grace in a restaurant. It took a bit of courage the first few times, but I’m happy yto do it now, and when I eat out with Christian friends, I’ll alway ask if someone wants to say grace. Oddly, I’ve even been with pastors that blush at the prospect.
This is probably meant for disruptive prayer, not normal prayer.
And by “disruptive prayer,” I mean Muslims getting on their prayers rugs in store doorways, and so forth, or shouting their chants throughout the mall (what Obama calls “the most beautiful sound in the world”).
The mall might have a very good reason for this with all the millions of activist Muslims being imported by Obama.
There are plenty of examples of New Testament Warriors.
Not many liberals in that part of Georgia.
Not sure but certainly there is only one mall in Dublin, GA, the next nearest mall would be in Macon, GA.
I looked it up and its called "Dublin Mall" Seems to be a lot of negative comments aimed at the mall on their web page.

I suspect she was being very loud.
This seems like the hari Krishna cases where they were approaching air passengers who were stuck waiting in lines.
There is a captive audience doctrine. (time place and manner issues)
If she was being loud rather than private it is VERY understandable that the other people who had just made their food purchases were defacto captive audiences since they would not be reasonable expected to throw their food away in order to exercise their right not to listen to her.
If she was praying SILENTLY that would be a different matter. Again, this is a time, place, and manner issue.
I strongly suspect this is a volume issue not really a prayer issue.
If they were in a circle giving “power walking instructions” (we are going as far as X store and then to Y store 3 times) in a loud disruptive manner then it would be the same issue.
The guard SHOULD have just said, we have volume rules and please keep your group at low volume, this would not be an issue.
Liberals are everywhere; some are just hidden away waiting to strike, like when HRC runs in 2016.
