    I thought they had quit putting them in motels here in Missouri also..at least years ago when hubby and I traveled we didn't see any.

    When I was a witness and stayed in motels for the assemblies in the 60's and 70's there was always a Gideon bible in the drawer..

    Never did meet any of them Gideons, just their bibles...

    Getting back to your hubby, are you going with him? I would...

    & they put it in any church & in the front

    it says "IN MEMORY OF ALAn GOUGH
    "Thw next one said" In Memory of Melanie Legg" my daughter

    I have had people go to church & see them & tell me

    The Gideons draw their volunteer members from many Christian denominations, but Article 3 of the Gideon Constitution prohibits Catholics, Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Scientists, Orthodox Christian Churches, Unitarians, and Mormons from joining or attending Gideon functions. This was also mentioned, in part, in a lawsuit involving aMormon and Catholic family suing over school prayer. [ 3 ]
