A lot of people on freerepublic have never had the chance to live in an apartment. If your neighbors to the side, or above, are loud IT IS YOUR BUSINESS. It is within your right to complain if they're having really loud parties at night, playing music really loudly or praying to loudly. I don't care if they're Christian, Jewish or Arab. If they're praying too loudly I'm complaining.

I've lived in apartments before.

I've also been attending rather raucous, evangelical, Spirit-filled, hand-raisin', tongues-speakin' churches for years..........and have played rather loud, heavy guitar in Praise and Worship teams for a very long time.

With that said.........these two are out of line. I'd have to know exactly what they're doing to pass a personal judgment here, but let's just say that a Christian does NOT become a nuisance to those around them deliberately, that a Christian should share his or her faith, NOT shove it down unwitting listeners' throats, and a Christian best demonstrates their faith through the way in which he or she lives his or her life, not by how loudly one can "pray" or otherwise worship the Lord.

If your neighbors to the side, or above, are loud IT IS YOUR BUSINESS.

And let the apartment dwellers say "Amen"!

But not too loudly, OK?
