Thread Name: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
My wife used to take art classes. A woman of a mainstream Christian faith somehow found out my wife was Jewish. She shared that a son-in-law was Jewish also.

One day this woman brought my wife a book of prayers, which my wife took and thanked her for. Each prayer, at the end of it referenced Christianity or a link to Jesus. I suggested - you don't tell my wife - that she return the book, but she didn't want to hurt her feelings.

Over the next few weeks this she gave my wife magazines and other Messianic Jewish literature, and began telling her about he SiL's relationship with Jesus.. The light dawned. At the next class she returned all the books, magazines and tracts, and explained she was happy with her Jewishness, but thanked the woman for thinking of her. The woman never spoke to her again during the whole time they were in the class together.

I had a Born Again customer who asked me if I was "right with God?" I told him I was right with God in my way, just as he was right with God in his way. I told him that I didn't talk politics or religion with my customers. We never did again. A couple of years later, when I had changed territories, I met him again at a sales open house. He asked me the same question. I gave the same basic answer, to which he said, "I'm not your customer anymore." He didn't miss a chance.
