FACT: Catholics pray repetitive words with Rosary Beads that were first invented in 1090 AD, by "Peter the Hermit" and made popular by St. Dominic in 1208 AD. Catholics believe that Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1208 AD, at the church of Prouille and revealed the Rosary Beads to him. From this time, Catholics prayed 15 sets of 10 consecutive "hail Marys" in a row (150 times), in the Rosary. However, in 2003 AD, Pope John Paul added a new set of Mysteries, so now it is 20 sets of 10 "Hail Marys", (200 times in the Rosary, in total.) Catholics will vainly appeal to Psalm 136 that alternates the same phrase 26 times with 26 different blessings God gives us. It is not 26 in a row as with the rosary! This is also a song, not a prayer. Revelation 4:8 has "angels singing" not "men praying". Matthew 6:7 o YES NO o "And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. Matthew 6:7 
Historical note: Roman Catholics borrowed the idea of praying with beads from the pagan religions who were already using them hundreds of years before: In 456 AD, Hindus are thought to have introduced the concept of praying with beads to the world. The earliest reference to a rosary (boberkhas) is in their "Jain Canon" (456 AD) These boberkhas had various numbers of beads 6,9,12,18,36 (any sub-multiple of 108) Islam (610 AD) uses a rosary of 99 beads, one for each of the names of God. Buddhists have 108 prayer beads on the string. The Rosary is of pagan origin and no Christian prior to 1000 AD used beads to pray. Question #1: Did Jesus forbid repetitive prayer using Rosary Beads?

Are you sure those bead necklace things aren't just candy necklaces for children with a tart flavor? Why would Catholics believe that endless mindless repetition of simple doctrinal phrases to be pleasing to God? God no doubt gets quite bored with all of our endless repetitive phrasing, not just in prayers but overall. That sort of inculcated repetitive phrasing is the kind of thing that brainwashing cults engage in. It's intended to make people less resistant to authority, make them more obedient to cult leaders. There are no endless repetitive phrases that the ancient churches recommended. And Jesus and the disciples didn't seem to engage in these. Jesus did, after all, speak against formulaic prescribed prayers directly. When Jesus gave an answer about how to pray, He said "pray after this manner" and recited what we call the Lord's Prayer. And despite his admonition against repetitious prayers, everyone memorizes it and repeat it publicly in church services or at funerals. Which has always struck me as odd.
I agree. That's why I spice up my prayers to God with some jokes thrown in. He likes the golf jokes the best.
