I am in work on the night shift. We have an agency nurse on who I have never met before. She has keept her self to herself all night but popped down before for a coffee and a gab. She starting talking about the cathedrals in our country saying they ate the best she seen. I am not religious at all but engaged in conversation saying they are very impressive even recommend one close by which is a beatiful building. Next she asked if am on whats app to send me an interesting article about it. I was a bit like ehhhhhhh yeah ok bit dubious giving my number out but did as she seemed friendly enough and just wanted to share an article.
Then get a whats app saying hi and give this a read when i can it has alot of truth in it. This was the whats app that followed.

Watched a movie called "Zero Account". From the quality and look of the movie I was already discouraged. As the movie progressed the Lord open my eyes to see a deeper meaning. A devoted Christian was going on a journey. In the bus he was with some unbelievers and unfortunately there was a crash. Of all the passengers in the bus, he was the only one that died while some of the unbelievers left that same bus without so much as a scratch. The Pastor of his church was so bitter that he cried unto God asking why he would take him at his young age and leave the unbelievers. At that instant, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in human form and showed him the life of the young man after death.The young man was taken to hell with an angel of the Lord. While they were there, the angel told him that his life was a wasted investment unto God and because of him so many people had been cast away in hell. He was surprised. A demon arose and called his roommate in the university. It was shown that his roommate wanted him to show him the way of God on the night he was to be initiated into a cult but he said he couldn't because he was late for fellowship. That same night his roommate was killed during the initiation by a rival cult. He never got to hear the word of God from him. The demon called another name and a woman came forward. She was his close friend during his youth service year. People even used to call them husband and wife. So many times she invited him to clubs and parties but never did he invite her to church. On the last day of camp on their way going home, she saw a tract in the cab they boarded. The outline said "Jesus the way, the truth, and the life". She begged him to explain to her but he was angry because he lost his flash drive at the stadium. Even when they got to their destination she kept on begging him to tell her more but he refused and promised to call her the next day. She left sad and distraught. On her way home alone she had an accident and she died. She also died without the knowledge of Christ from him. Once again, the demon called out another name. His own biological sister came out. He was shocked. He was already in tears when he saw the others but when he saw his sister he wept uncontrollably. She lived a wayward life, always drinking and partying. He always condemned her but he never introduced her to Christ. She had an abortion one day and it went wrong. On the hospital bed, someone came to preach to her but he sent the person out. Even in pains she begged him for forgiveness and for him to preach to her but he turned deaf ears to her pleas. On that same bed she lost her life without the knowledge of Christ.After these three people had given their accounts, he wept bitterly because he had so many opportunities to preach to them but he didn't. Their blood was on his hands.After this was done, the angel took him to Heaven, to the hall of judgment where they met another angel. The Angel explained to him that for everyone that didn't go to hell, they would come to the hall of judgment before they would be given access to Heaven where their works would be tested in fire to check the quality. Those whose works had strong content and good foundation, their works would remain. But those whose works had no tangible content, it would be burnt completely in the fire. When his works was tested, it was burnt completely. He was shocked. The moral to that has been compiled up there is this: You can serve God from January till December, you can pray 24/7, you can go on an all year fasting, you can clean the church with your body day in day out, you can speak all the tongues known to man and in the spirit BUT if you do not evangelize and preach the word of God, all you've done is nothing. Even a sinner can attend service, even a sinner can clean the church. The primary function of a Christian on earth is to bear fruits. In the story above, the young man didn't achieve destiny, he didn't fulfill purpose, he didn't preach the gospel... He did NOTHING!!! Absolutely nothing. He was a wasted investment because he didn't impact any life on earth. I know this has been a long article but I hope in my heart and in my soul that this has touched even just one person. This is a wakeup call to ALL christians . Let's us stop acting nonchalantly. To as many that have read this, PLEASE rebroadcast it might save someone's heart.and i pray that; May God bless you and keep you to fullfill God's purpose on earth. May God's goodness, and favour remain with you now and forever more. Amen

I am not religious at all I was just being friendly and engaging in conversation then get sent some pretty heavy shit. What the fuck do I reply to that?!?!?!

"interesting, i don't have time to read this right now. i'll let you know what i think" then block.

MrsMotherHen · 16/02/2018 04:28

think thats a good idea i forgot about the block function.

SnowGoArea · 16/02/2018 04:31

Perhaps tell her there's no chance of getting through all of that without paragraphs?!

Similar to the above poster but maybe without the "I'll get back to you" bit. That's not even evangelism, it's just weird spam!

Tmgc123 · 16/02/2018 04:37

I wonder if you can be brutally honest.

“Thanks for this... but I don’t believe in god! Cheers”

If she can be a dick, so can you...(although it doesn’t work that way it seems!)

TheMaddHugger · 16/02/2018 04:38

I hope she isn't in charge of any patients. An If she is I sure hope she doesn't spout off that to them Oi

Block

PastaOfMuppets · 16/02/2018 04:39

I'd probably reply with 'lol' then block

TheMaddHugger · 16/02/2018 04:40

Maybe mention this to someone further up the 'Hire' chain. I wouldn't want this if I was a patient. And I am very Religious

TinyRick · 16/02/2018 04:42

TL;DR

MrsMotherHen · 16/02/2018 04:43

Yep shes in charge of the whole home tonight. I havent heard her speak to any of our residents about anything like what I received but will definitely keep my ear out this morning.

TheMaddHugger · 16/02/2018 05:15

If she does start spouting wiggy, can you record her ?

TheQueenOfWands · 16/02/2018 05:17

Nod and say, 'Mmmm..!'

Then beg your boss to never employ her again.

TheQueenOfWands · 16/02/2018 05:18

I'm also in a nursing home, on a night shift tonight.

LittleFeileFooFoo · 16/02/2018 05:18

Isn't this the plot of a Randy Travis song?

LittleFeileFooFoo · 16/02/2018 05:20

The story she sent I mean.

It would puts me of to get this, preachy spam!

Rageofglitter · 16/02/2018 05:24

I have a friend like this. She's a lovely lady as long as religion isn't mentioned.
I put up with it because she wishes otherwise a good friend.

If you have no friendship with the woman just delete and ignore and block if you want to. If she comes back as bank staff just say you don't discuss religion or haven't had time to read it

PyongyangKipperbang · 16/02/2018 05:29

"I think you meant this for someone else. Lol" No emoji

TheStoic · 16/02/2018 05:32

It’s the equivalent of religious door-knockers. Has been happening for centuries. Just block and don’t say anything. It won’t be the first time for her, and I’d bet she’d be quite shocked if you responded at all.

MyBoysAndI · 16/02/2018 05:36

Just don't answer it.

Leilaniiii · 16/02/2018 05:49

Just say: "I am an atheist. Please do not send me anything like this to me again. Thank you."

000bourneFarm · 16/02/2018 06:15

You did what she did multiplied many times.

sashh · 16/02/2018 06:35

Reply with, "Thank fuck I'm heathen and a sinner, I can catch the bus with no fear of death".

TheQueenOfWands · 16/02/2018 06:38

Personally I think in regards to the workplace religion should be left at the door.

Clandestino · 16/02/2018 06:48

Tell her to send something that doesn't make you go to sleep or short summaries next time. Like: Do this - hell. Do this - heaven.

shinysinkredemption · 16/02/2018 07:09

I was thinking along the same lines as OOOborn, why repost the whole thing?!! If you didn't like reading it why didn't you summarise what she sent you, not share it with all of MN.
Just ignore it.

Karigan1 · 16/02/2018 07:14

Just ignore it. She probably thought you might be that way inclined since you were talking with her about cathedrals. Religiously ghost her and she’ll get the message. I doubt it’s an hr issue or needs recording etc if you’ve never heard it before.
