I got into big trouble with my boss. Was he right?
I should just preface this by saying that I
At church recently, I was listening to my pastor, and he was talking about how we should introduce Jesus into people's lives when they least expect it. So I took that to heart, and starting doing it at work.
When people activating phones come to my location, I've been programming a special message into their phone.
Under the contacts, I'll put "a - Jesus loves you!" That way, when people open their phone book, the first thing they see is a reminder of Jesus's love for all of us.
Apparently, customers have been complaining about this - and to me, this is sad. I'm just trying to give people hope in these hard times and people are being so mean about it. I just want them to join me in the...

Wow this is the biggest failure ever.
I wanted my gf to know how much I love her that I carved the word 'love' in her face.

I never joke about the love of Jesus. Ever. I'm glad to say that Shreveport, and the people here NEVER joke about Jesus.

That's what happens when you're smack dab in the middle of the BIBLE BELT. Here's the deal, that's a very good thing you're doing, there's nothing wrong with spreading the word...but I mean, some people just don't like that. You have to seperate your personal religious feelings from your work. If you want to incorporate it, then become a pastor or something. I'm not knocking you, but here in cali, if I did that, I'd be fired in a heart beat. What if they're muslim? Jewish? Athiest? scientologist? Keep that in mind. And if you can't accept them and thier beliefs, don't expect them to do the same

I think he should go preach to the Jehovah's Witnesses. That would fun to watch.

I have, AND mormons. 🙂 Acceptance is the way, seriously. I don't care if you're whatever religion, sexual preference, race, WHATEVER, I'll respect your right to be who you are as long as you do the same. If you don't then phuck you 😁
...
SO let me get this straight...you're spreading the word about jesus but called your customers "tards"?!? thats very jesus like! ur outta control and what your're doing is disrespectful to other people's beliefs...if you want to go to church, fine, but there's no need to broadcast it...if you want to "save your tard customers" then go out and preach!
...
I understand what your trying to do and commend you for it, but thats a little under handed and maybe too pushy. might try just asking them: "what church do they go too" as an ice breaker. just a thought!
...
That's like the first question I ask. I always ask what church they go to. If they don't go to church, I invite them to mine. I go to White River Baptist, and it's the most moving experience. Every single Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and sometimes Friday night for youth fellowship.
I invite them for all 4 nights. It's like Disneyland with Jesus!

Well If you seriously did this then good for you for trying to spread the word of god. But unfortunately big business despises him so I would suggest finding another way to do it. You could save up money and start your own Christian phone company. That way you can still do his work and not have to deal with others.
...
I've thought about doing an all-Christian phone company, but it really wouldn't work. If the rapture comes, all my employees would go to heaven, and that would make the network shut down.
That's no good for Consumer Reports ratings.

true but for now it be great till then. I would join you less hassle selling phones for god then selling them for the man
...
I don't worship the man either 🤣 🤣 🤣 That why I hate working for him but he pays the bills 🤣 🤣
...
yes, he was.. but, i agree with you
unfortunately.. in this day, ppl dont like to be "foreced into belief" as some say..
and remember, not everyone is the same religion as u, they may believe different things, and exspecailly in some religions, if they opened their phone, and saw what you put, they would be offened..
i know you aren't doing that intensionally, but truth be it, ppl just aren't as accepting these days, there are so many different backgrounds, and cultures, with differnt faiths.. its the same as why ppl dont like the Johovahs' witnesses' coming to the door, and they hide.. they dont want to feel like someone is forcing or preaching to them.. if they give you that christain vibe, say something to you that confirms their fai...

I used to keep people's numbers and send them texts (only if they had unlimited messaging) with a new scripture every day.
People liked it for a few days, but then they got annoyed with the "Bible Blast". That's the days I send at LEAST 10 scriptures.

see, ppl like to know that you have the faith, and even a lil' words of scripture every now and then, but.. it does get pushy.. and ppl done like that.. and even worse, sometimes, dont want to become that.. the pushy, jesus preacher.. not that u are, but some ppl can take it that way.. ppl are funny like that
...
It's okay. Even though you're going to spend eternity in hell if you don't accept Jesus, I still love you because that's what Jesus would have wanted.
...
I don't mean to come across that way. I just want the best for her, you know?
I want everyone to feel His love like I do. I gotta go pray for a bit. See you silly gooses later!

Good Christians don't dislike gay people. You're just not living a right life. God created a man and a woman to go forth and populate the earth.
I want you to get into heaven. I really do. Just get a boyfriend. Maybe you can fake it and God won't know you're gay!
JUST KIDDING! GOD WOULD TOTALLY KNOW! SORRY!

LMFAO! Now that's freaking awesome. I never thought if it that way... I gotta remember this one.

and what about those couples who are a man and a woman and choose not to "populate the earth" or the couples who are infertile??
Should we not allow them to marry as well???

Ok, here's the Jews turn to play:
Number 1: according to the Torah (the first 5 books of the bible), marriage between two men is explicitly forbidden, but there is absolutely no mention of marriage between two women.
Number 2: according to Mishna, Eve was not the first woman. Before Eve was Lilith, who was made from the clay of the earth just as Adam was. Because of this, Lilith thought she was equal to Adam in every way. During intercourse, Lilith wanted to be on top half the time because the top position showed dominance. Adam did not allow this, so Lilith damned the name of g-d. G-d hearing this took Lilith and banished her to the Red Sea. G-d then gave her a chance to ask for forgiveness and apologize, but she refused. THEN g-d cre...

Not so much. Both christianity and islam derived from judaism. No judaism, no christianity or islam. maybe everyone wouldn't be buddhist...maybe hindu?

That's ok...2 millenium from now it won't matter.

just showing that any religious fanatic has their work cut out for them. there's something in ever religion that will counter another religion. Hell, every religion has its own built in contradictions. and that's the point. because of the built in contradictions it is impossible to stop learning about it

Number 3: Jews predate Christianity, and Jesus is not our messiah. So without Jews, everyone would be Buddhist.
Booyah!
Er, Christians believe Jesus was your messiah. You just missed the boat.

I really hate people who are selective about their beliefs. Why do I say that? You're supposed to love one another and be non-judgmental as a christian.
And what is your name? I sell phones 2 tards. Way to spread that christian love and to be non-judgmental by referring to others as tards.
What a moron.

First off, your screen name "I sell phones to retards" is NOT Christian. Great job defacing mentally challenged human beings. Shame on you.
Second, maybe you should have paid more attention in your HR trainings. It specifically says to keep religion out of the work place (Christianity is no exception). Technically you should be fired for harrassment. YOU signed the harrassment agreement. Look it up in your employee handbook, I promise you its there. When you are on the clock, you are OBLIGATED to follow your company's rules, period. It doesn't matter how passionate for "Christ" you are. So if you like getting paid, chill out on your religious bigotry. If you don't agree, keep it up and get fired, or just quit - your company will be more t...

C'mon, you guys. This guys is obviously Kickmeoffphonescoop. The new login shows up around the same time he disappeared, his writing has the same timing and punctuation, and it's the same vaguely trollish type.
What really is annoying is how people 1) Are too stupid to realize that this is a troll and 2) WORSE praise him for his 'actions'.
If this wasn't a troll, I would be horrified. And I expect anyone else to be the same. The fact that this post wasn't condemned from the start is a sad, sad reflection on a lot of Christians.

Seems kind of hypocritical to be so intent on spreading the word, but your log in is Isellphones2tards. That's pretty derogatory.... Especially for one that holds themself in high esteem as far as religion is concerned. Check yourself before you try to spread something you portray.

More than likely this is just a sham to get a rise out of people, but sadly there really are people like this. And this, is one of the many reasons I have not been able to adopt a religion. I have a really tough time putting much faith into Christianity or its subsidiaries mainly for this reason.
Christians don't simply believe, they think they have a right and responsibility to shove it in your face. They will do anything to try to convert you. They stress how happy they are since they have "found Christ." Personally I think most of them are trying to convince themselves they are happy, even when they are not. They say they are trying to do what is best for me by trying to convert me. Christians are not the parents of all the non-christ...

The thing that a lot of Christians (not all of them, but some) have forgotten is that this country was founded on a basis of freedom of religion. What that means is that you are free to beleive (or not believe) in whatever diety that you want to. That does not mean that you have the right, though, to impose your religious beliefs on others. Yes, the majority of this country is some denomination of Christianity or the other, but that does not mean that Christianity is the belief of every customer who comes in your door. I, as a customer who is not a Christian would be very insulted by such a thing put on my phone. I would call your corporate office, or at least the store, and complain about somebody putting a religious statement on my phone. ...

I can't believe you are basically trying to force your religion on people! I'd be highly pissed if someone did that to me considering I do not participate in a religion and don't believe in Jesus. Maybe next time you should actually really consider others and their beliefs before forcing yours down their throats. 🙄
...
Don't feed the trolls...
Just in case it isn't, I would have returned the phone to you and complained to your manager. Its not your place to force your made up cult on people. No one cares what you think they should believe and keep your stupid jesus thing at your church.

Well.
Yes your boss is right. There is a line which you cannot cross with customers. I hope you realize that if you did that to the wrong customer they could bring up a lawsuit against your company and possibly your carrier. You would lose your job and your company could lose its license.
Where do you work, so I may illustrate this to you and profit from your blatant stupidity?

Yeah he was right. I would have fired you for sure... If I were to purchase a phone from you and you did this I would promptly return it. You are not going to recruit a Christian army via text message... I cant believe you seriously did that. Keep your personal views to yourself. I am not trying to argue whether or not God is real or not, but there is no need to spread your opinion while you are at work like that. If God makes you happy thats fine, who cares? People that want to hear about God go to church. You crossed the line and I think that was an unprofessional move. Sounds like you should be a Jehovah's witness.
