    Religion is not being restricted - in essence patients are being protected from unwanted proselyting. The policy would also apply to JW's, Mormons, Muslims, those folks in sleepwear :smilewinkgrin:, ect from bothering Born again Christians.

    By telling anyone they can't bring in a bible, whatever version it might be, they're placing a restriction on religion, because such restriction prevents the visitor from exercising their religious viewpoints, and prevents the patients from possibly receiving a visit that could change the status of their soul.

    Unfortunately, a policy that recognizes any religion, must recognize all religions.

    Again, apply the policy that the visiting individual announce their reason for the visit; if refused, they move on to the next room, no further discussion. If they act like a telemarketer and try two, three, more times to convince the individual to let them in, or receive pamphlets, etc.; or, as in the case of the time I was visited in England by a J.W., results in the "visitor" referring to them as only being there because they want to kill people; then call Security and remove them from the premises.

    You need to resolve the bitterness toward those who are and were in the military.

    Could it be considered practicing sin when bitterness is expressed as repeatedly as it has been?

    There is no bitterness. Just the truth.
