Matthew 6.7: And when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
God knows you can speak; he’s not impressed by the length of your oration, or your excellent vocabulary. Be brief. the next scripture tells you that god already knows what you’re going to say, so get on with it.
Are you praying for the food that you have? Say what needs to be said and get back to talking with your table mates, your family and your friends.
Praying after a meeting at the Kingdom Hall? Cut to the chase! No need to go into every thought in your tiny head. And for heavens sake, stop praying for the circuit overseers wife! I mean you have to draw the line somewhere.
Jehovah’s Witnesses pray before and after the meeting and the verbosity is sometimes stunning. Being old (and sensible), i usually always sit. And realistically, no one listens to the actual words. the words are always the same word-soup of JW-speak and tried and tested phrases. Heres one: “we leave this meeting (or day) in your care and keeping.” Where did that come from, “Care and Keeping”? It's just rhetorical garbage and means not a thing.
Another cute and meaningless thing
Jehovah’s Witnesses have a public talk on Sunday. Now, whoever gives the talk gets to say the final prayer. This is a tradition of men, as Jesus described it. and this is what Jesus thinks of that.
Oh, they also get a free meal. This is called “hospitality”. And it is in name only.
--It’s another tradition.
