I wonder why it is that the lost sheep always move towards Buddhism, or some half-baked "Goddess" paganism.  Somewhere, along the road, Christianity become the uncool kid among "world religions".  Maybe the effort required to be a Christian is unappealing to the "thirty-minutes or less" generation, - a generation that would rather receive a neat and tidy clinical diagnosis like "bipolar" or ADHD, than deal with spiritual issues.

I spoke to Parker some more about Christ's blessings and sacrifice, but I can only hope that he took it to heart.


This "quote" angers me, repulses me and draws me to respond.
I usually stay away from these discussions because of my background, education and experience.
 
You have absolutely violated the name of Jesus by this self indulgent act of crucifying others at the pursuit of your better than thou judgements and your self imposed pride in your "sharing Jesus with a co-worker."
 
You have demonstarted  the exact reasons why people are repulsed by evangelical christians ~~ pride, vanity and cynical judgments generalizing everyone.
 
You have not read your Scriptures lately.
 
"Let your light so shine before men that..... "
Look it up.

"Parker......have you ever thought about embracing the lessons of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?"  
 
Obviously you have NOT !

I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed to hear that my CollarMe peers think an attempt to heal a failed marriage should be classified as "random stupidity."  Oh well..............I guess we all have our opinions.  Either way, I wish Parker and his wife the best of luck.


Leave the healing to the Great Physician.

Shhhh, it's more fun if people think he's serious and get in a twist over it.




Sirsinini -> RE: I Attempt to Lead a Coworker to Christ (1/13/2008 12:55:27 PM)

ok so he might be "joking"....
but until he comes back and responds again,
I have every right to believe his written word.
 
And no, I dont usually pick up on tongue in cheek as quickly as others, if this is what it is.
 
If I am not as bright a bulb as you in this arena, be nice.
I am bright at other things.
 
Inini, still an awesome cock sucking slut for my Sir

Where I'm live, I'm too used to this being serious to think of it as a joke. I've had people try to save my soul while I was eating with friends in diners.

Aquatic, did You begin chocking (sp) on Your food, and look at them in disbelief??? And then explain to them Your sincerest gratitude since You didn't even know Your soul was lost???? *thinking.....thinking....* Perhaps this is why my sister's children are convinced i'm going to hell...hmmmm..

It was crazy. I was just happily eating my grits with my friend when some dude in a suit comes up to ask if anyone has ever told me that Jesus loves me. Part of me wanted to say "Yeah, he said that lask week before he left. Motherfucker hasn't called me back though."




Kalista07 -> RE: I Attempt to Lead a Coworker to Christ (1/13/2008 2:02:43 PM)

LMFAO....That is tooo toooo tooo funny!!!!  i wonder how come people don't ever start laughing when they come to my door to "evangilize" me and ask me if i know that jesus loves me, and i  jump out the door at them and look at them very strangely...And then explain that i was told that no one else could hear the voices....How did they know??!!! hmmm





AquaticSub -> RE: I Attempt to Lead a Coworker to Christ (1/13/2008 2:07:30 PM)

Oh that reminds me...

I was taking the train back home after visiting my folks. When the train was just about to move (I suspect so no one could escape), a woman stood up and announced loudly "I just want ya'll to know that I'm a minister so if you need anything, you can talk to me."

I considered rolling in the aisle and speaking in tongues.




Kalista07 -> RE: I Attempt to Lead a Coworker to Christ (1/13/2008 2:08:57 PM)

Continuing to laugh my ass off here.....*Reminds me of the time the Weslyan's attempted to do an exorcism on me*

     Every workday, "Parker" sits in the seat adjacent to my own in the employee cafeteria, and relates the lurid details of a capsized marriage.

    "I only get fucked once every few months, and she's sooooo domineering.  My wife is just asking for a divorce."
 
     "Parker" is a fourth-generation, Boston-raised Mick: high-strung, heavy drinking, passive-aggressive.  There's  a certain desperate intensity that I find thoroughly entertaining in "Parker's" body-language and overall presentation.

    "Instead of getting sex, I have to resort to internet porn.......and man, do I have alot of it.  She won't even watch it with me!"
 
     I see the whole pathetic tableau in my mind's eye: a balding, pasty-fleshed "Parker", frantically jerking off to thirty second porno clips -- pulling and puffing-- until a couple meager droplets of cum dribble down the side of his half-erection. 

  Something moves me about Parker's  failures.........the fact that his God-given marital union has succumbed to coldness, frigidity, and an obsession with non-nutritive cock and cunt flicks.  Finally, I gather up the boldness to speak my mind out loud.

   "Parker......have you ever thought about embracing the lessons of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?"
 
     Parker tells me that he's jaded with an abusive, Roman-Catholic upbringing.  "My interests lie more in the realm of Buddhism, I guess."

   I wonder why it is that the lost sheep always move towards Buddhism, or some half-baked "Goddess" paganism.  Somewhere, along the road, Christianity become the uncool kid among "world religions".  Maybe the effort required to be a Christian is unappealing to the "thirty-minutes or less" generation, - a generation that would rather receive a neat and tidy clinical diagnosis like "bipolar" or ADHD, than deal with spiritual issues.

   I spoke to Parker some more about Christ's blessings and sacrifice, but I can only hope that he took it to heart.





Having known the Parkers for quite some time it is extremely apparent that Mrs Parker has found and embraced the teachings of Christ while the interests of Mr Parker have been , shall we say, less than Christlike.

His pursuit of pornography and other random wacking material has upset "Vivian" to no end....It makes her skin crawl to think of allowing a man, who she watched jerk-off to a film shot entirely in a barn yard, to touch her.

Go with God Mrs Parker





JohnSteed1967 -> RE: I Attempt to Lead a Coworker to Christ (1/13/2008 3:47:42 PM)

I think to be fair to our first poster and to Mr and Mrs Parker. If our poster truly wants to lead his friend to Jesus then

  1. lead your life as a Christan should, don't see "Leading "X" to THE LORD" as a notch on a belt to present to God at the end of your life.
  2. Romans 3:23
  3. Romans 6:23
  4. Romans 5:8
  5. Romans 10:13
  6. Romans 10: 9,10

That's all you really need to know

I'll still hold fast to my belief in the Church of Chocolate. It only has 5 rules of faith
1) belive in the power of Chocolate
2) Chocolate is your friend, be freinds with Chocolate
3) Honor Chocolate, whether it be milk, white or dark
4) Eat Drink and Eat Chocolate
5) Chocolate in all it's forms is perfection

.......... but as a Christian I have to weigh in on this.



And it's not only un-cool to bring religion up at work, it is actually against policy in many companies. It could be considered "discriminatory harrassment."

The OP can pray for Parker, if he so wishes, but I would suggest that if he wants to give Parker advice, it would be along the lines of, "See if the company has an Employee Assistance Program, and take yourself and your wife to a marriage counsellor."


I wasn't aware that a person had to draw the line at salvation once they were officially "on the clock".

Once a person brings up their sex life with Yours Truly at work, on top of various other connubial ailments, it's an open game.  I don't think that some of this posts respondents understood that I wouldn't have taken the steps to recommend my dear friend to Jesus Christ if he hadn't made these little "confessions" at work.  Of course, sex wasn't the only issue in his relationship talk, but I didn't want to annoy the readers by making them read too much "stuff".........................Marcel Proust I ain't, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Kalista07 -> RE: I Attempt to Lead a Coworker to Christ (1/13/2008 4:14:52 PM)

i just have one serious question.....This "Mr....Parker" as You called Him.....He wasn't Peter Parker was He???!!!




Phin -> RE: I Attempt to Lead a Coworker to Christ (1/13/2008 4:20:27 PM)

fast reply...

yes he was wrong for bringing this up at work.

yes you were wrong for bring up relegion at work

There are 3 things that should not be discussed at work, sex, relegion, and politics.

As an agnostic, I would have told you that I was not intersted. Had you brought it up again, as many christians would, I would become less and less polite. "parker" also sounds as much buddist as the pope...
