Tallesty1:

Such a smart guy u are..
Let's examine the flipsides of the issue ur SMART comment propounded.

1."You're just a messenger"...simply tell the caller as a messenger that u are:
"MY BOSS SAYS to tell you he's not around"...
if u dare say:
"my boss is not around" OR "I don't know",
you're no longer speaking as a messenger but for urself as a matter of certainty of what u know for a fact. I don't need to tell u dis a lie.

--------------------------

2. "You're just a messenger"..
I need you to help me rob a bank tomorrow noon. Don't worry, when the police apprehends u, just tell em': "I'm just a messenger; it's 0ubenji that robbed the bank; Not Me!"

---------------------------

Lolz..if it were som1 ur boss cud tell "I'm busy, can't speak with u right now"; he/she would av told u to tel him/her that straightup or did it him/herself.
So ur scope no gel, coz saying wat he/she dint tel u to say to the caller might cause a rift btw ur boss and the caller. You don't knw who's calling Ooo, neither do u knw why ur boss is avoidin the caller..
Chai! God help U if it apuns to be a major stakeholder in the company.

The thing is, lying itself is generally wrong (Christian or not), especially when it's to protect your own interest. Notice, whenever someone lies, he's hurting someone else either directly or indirectly.

Look at it from the caller's point of view. If you were the one who called and you later found out the employee lied to you, you'd most likely be offended, because it was wrong. For whatever important reason you called, the person who lied to you has either stopped your aim of calling or delayed it.

As for me, I'll make as much effort to tell the caller off without having to lie ("drop a message", "you can't speak with him at the moment" etc). I may end up lying sef if the person persists, but if I lie eventually, at least I know why what I did is wrong.

There is no need to over-flog this issue. Simply be as professional as possible. "My boss is currently unavailable or not on sit, kindly leave a message and he would get back to you ASAP!". grin

This is a tough one. but in every situation there is always a solution i feel.

In this instance you could simply say "I'm sorry, Mr. So So So is unavailable at the moment".
Re: The Truth Or You Lose Your Job Which Would You Prefer As A True Christian? by HighQue007: 1:37pm On Aug 07, 2016
My candid advice.

Say the truth cos u r a good christian so you can lose your Job; then go to ur church and ask ur pastor to pay you salary.

Watch and see, 98.9% of those that would release Comments here today are those that don't even know the Word (Hearers and not Doers), those who can only quote John 3:16 correctly, those that don't know the road to their Church anymore(Sunday to Sunday Christians)... And those that always want to HELP God (e.g Alahaji Shekau and his followers).

Every problem has a solution. So when you get to that bridge, you will cross it. The answer you give to such a situation now , may not be the solution on that fateful day .Some may say" I will lie o " What if your boss is trying to test you to see if you are a stone liar or a crooked liar? So I will cross it when the time comes.
