I Don’t Think This Is An Accepted Technique
At least not in any modern Christian churches. Praying for someone's repentance while holding that person at gunpoint is generally frowned upon.
ATHENS, Ala. – A woman and two roommates are accused of holding her brother at gunpoint as she prayed for his repentance, even firing a shot into the ceiling to keep his attention.
Randy Doss, 46, of Athens said he fled the house when his captors got distracted and later went to police, who were skeptical at first because his story was so bizarre. But police said it checked out, including the bullet hole in the ceiling.
"We found where they patched the hole with caulk," said Sgt. Trevor Harris.
Police said the sister, Tammie Lee Doss, 43, Donna Leigh Bianca, 37, and Ronald David Richie, 45, who live at the Athens house, were charged with unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor. The two women were also charged with menacing, a misdemeanor. All were released on bond.
We aren't sure what is in the air in Athens these days, but this is not the first post to note an occurrence down in those parts. But the earlier post wasn't about prayers at gunpoint, or bullets flying around. No, it was about love and a can of Raid…..

This behavior is more typical of the Religion of Peace.

More typical of thugs everywhere, no matter the excuse.
