Thread Name: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Well I said I wasn't going to contribute to this thread any longer, but the Jehova's Witness banging on my door this morning rather rattled me...
Anyone ever get interupted having breakfast, lazy morning sex, having a lovely bubble bath, or indeed during their morning meditations or prayers at the weekend by these 'nice', 'kind' and blindly patronising and intrusive folk?
Now if only they did Gnostic bath robes, or indeed kinky underwear, I'd bloody well invest in some!

No I don't hate Christians, I just hate proselytisation, by any fecking faith. But most especially via insidious backdoor methods with the elderly, lonely or vulnerable. It sucks, and is as cynical as it is despicable ad IMO immoral.

My fella, who is a practicioner of Zen Buddhism (which btw. has no sense of 'offense' to it's doctrine or founders, or any notion of 'blaphemy') told me today that there is broadly a guidance about 'proselytisation' with Buddhism. If someone who happens to knows you are a Buddhist, and so asks you about Buddhism, you politely change the subject three times. If they continue to ask, only then do you engage in discussion on the subject. There are many reasons why I find that approach admirable.

And for those interested, the nurse in question absolutley intends to continue her mission to heal and save people, check C4 News

Thank the Demiurge for the obvious healing powers of this womans prayer, I usually need to resort to antibiotics in order to swiftly resolve those kinds of inconvenient little infections!
