Preaching gospel 2 patient na crime 4 uk...hmm d end is near brethren

LadyAnn:


Not a crime If the patients wants to be preached to. All hospitals in the UK have spiritual councillors, pastors and chapels to pray with 24/7 access. They can also request a priest/Rev/pastor at all times. That wasn't her role, not unless the patient requested it directly from her. Trust me, the disiplinary method within our NHS is long. She would have been called for 3 supervisions, verbal warnings, written warnings. This most likely would have been going on for a long time despite being warned. She probably got sacked due to several complaints from patients who didn't want to be prayed for or weren't interested. She had a professional and a clinical responsibility to her patients. It's heart breaking because I see a lot of African Christian nurses doing this. We can't impose our faith on people no matter how much we feel they need it. Oh dear.. Oh dear!

Na so i go Hospital here after paying 20K (10K registration and 10k consultation) the doctor begin preach to me ....though I enjoyed the session but not many would if having gone through hell to be in the hospital, some nurse or doctor starts preaching instead of providing medical counseling.

Not saying the authorities are right for sacking her though, but she should have exercised restraint. I watched her video and I must say I see her as that type that believe he or she must be martyred voluntarily. 3 warnings and you still continued? Haba ...I guess the authorities did what they did just to avoid being sued.

LadyAnn:


My dear, it's not even 3 warnings.... Trust me. I've been working in the NHS for long. You get supervisions, you get training, you get verbal warnings and then written, then Disciplinary meetings... The NHS knows that it's liable to be sued so they must have covered all loop holes in her contract. I personally would be shocked if she successfully sues the NHS. You can't force religion on terminally ill people or sick patients. Who does that? Why is it always the black Africans with this habit? It's embarrassing

Religious groups so often reach out to people when they are at their weakest point, capitalizing on the suffering of others. Despite their best intentions, this is ultimately predatory behavior.
I wonder why evangelists aren't bothered by what this says about the product they're selling. They know the most likely time for a sale is when their target is the least able to think clearly and make rational choices. All of their most aggressive efforts are focused at the most vulnerable people.

They target children before they're old enough to know that their parents are often wrong. They target young adults when they're first away from home and feeling lonely. They target other people when they're sick, grieving, or struck by some other tragedy. They target the elderly when they're lonely and afraid of death.

It's even worse than that, In my church days I recall people openly advocating this approach, and attributing it to the deity they worship.
"God wants us broken so He can work in and through us. He can't if we're too self-sufficient". The more Calvinistic among them would probably say that God would make that person broken to the point where they see no viable alternative than to seek God's intervention and redemption."
This isn't used just to lure in vulnerable potential converts. It's also used as a tool to keep the already churched and those who at least appear to believe in line.

She must have had her 3 warnings then. I once was preached to by an African nurse years back but decided against reporting as I would not like to see a sister lose her job. I don't know what is wrong with African though, why must she try to impose her religious beliefs on a sick patient?

Niflheim:
I feel bad that she lost her job!!! However.....................................................

1.Prayer does not work, that is why faith healer Benny Hinn went to a hospital when he was sick!!!

2.No nation has ever advanced through prayer......................but through action and hard work!!!

3. I once heard of a man in Nigeria who prayed against the white, smelling, shapeless and faceless monster that attacked him every night in his dream.......................................he was actually praying against fufu(the last thing he ate at night)!!!

4.I remember a woman who prayed against satan whom she claimed jumped on her roof every night to steal her money in the house!!!.........................................There was a mango tree on the roof, and what she thought were "satan's sanchos boots", were nothing more than mangoes falling from the tree unto her roof!!!

EazyMoh:
This is persecution and Islamization. We will not take this! Where is FFK to write another epistle.
