Thread Name: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Oh come on!!! This nurse offered to do something for someone... even if it is handing a card out the receiver can say no for no further action! (unlike the incessant spam mail that comes into our homes through the letterbox). She was being altruistic which I guess some people won't want to recognise or will find an alternative explanation for. She did it with goodwill in her heart and not for her own purposes. Nowadays, generosity is regarded with suspicion as we are brainwashed into believing 'There has to be a catch' in everything (and everyone) and no-one is to be trusted.
What law has she broken? is the first question and the second is how would you react if someone you know who is Christian didn't offer to pray for your dying relative?.
I can't even conceive of a rule in any profession which says you cannot hand out offers of prayer either verbally or by card.... what was the rule she broke????
Can I also ask you another question...... which one of you, any one.... didn't pray to God when you were in a tight or rock bottom situation??? Many if not all of you know that you did...... Why did you do it??? Because you needed help and we have an inbuilt instinct to pray to our maker in times of dire need... no-one has to tell us to we just do it!......... Alright so that's my opinion!!!!!!
I will offer to pray for anyone... and I mean anyone who is ill or needs help in any way.. I don't hand cards out but I do it verbally and always will.... I have never yet had someone say no in a nasty or offended way.......
