I dont agree that those scripture teach us to pray for saints to intercede for us, or that they teach us to pray for those who have passed away. I'll leave it at that, good night.

Goodnight Restoremysoul.

i came to Orthodoxy from the Baptist church. Since coming back to the US I've noticed that seems to be where a very high percentage of them came from.

Now I know we do not go out to Baptist Parking lots leaving literature under wiper blades so can anyone explain this?

I think it comes from people feeling disillusioned by pop-music centred worship. I see it here in Australia too, many former evangelicals become Catholics and the reasons seem to vary quite a bit - from feeling a desire for unity that could not be met in their former denomination to feeling unhappy about worship becoming entertainment.
