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.

Exactly dear. If the patient initiates the request then there is no problem but until that happens there should be a clear division between personal belief and work. If nurses are unable to abide by that then the only alternative should be suspension and ultimately dismissal. She breached the NMC code of conduct by using her professional status to ‘promote causes that are not related to health’ and by failing to ‘demonstrate a personal and professional commitment to equality and diversity’.

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.

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

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

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!

More to the story..... Otherwise UNISON will come down like a ton of bricks on the NHS

Hello LadyAnn. If you go over my post again, you will see that there is no disagreement between us. I don't doubt that you found many Camerounians who were congenial and charitable, and I'm not at all surprised that many were in fact goodlooking. People often make broad and unflattering generalizations based on their flawed knowledge of a sample population and so force unique individuals into cramped stereotypes. My post merely satirizes that practice.

Unique individuals like you in this case. I get it.

Yossarian:
Who would have thought that Camerounians had a sense of humour? That country tends to command visions of mean, unsmiling people, all of them as belligerent as they are ugly. The pool of creative genius represented in these absolutely hilarious caricatures tell us that there are people in Cameroun capable of making and enjoying humour as much as anyone, and it proves to us beyond all doubt that one should never judge any nation by its football team.

Omg!!! I can't believe you said that. That is mean on soooo many levels. Those are my people ohh! I spent 5 yeArs of my life in cameroon and found the people to be warm, generous to a fault, very friendly. The women were exceptionally beautiful and the men handsome.

Ladies is up to you, what do you feel, do you agree?

Wow...spoken like a true narcissist. And what, pray, do the wives get in return for being such a saint?

Mekzyzeus:
I hate mediocre minded people. I definitely can't associate with plebs that can't impact anything to my life. Why in the name of being nice, become too familiar to so many people?
@LadyAnn; maybe you are "me" in an alternate universe?

Hahahaha. . I'm a nice snob none the Less. Very diplomatic in my interaction with people from all social class and background.

BALLOSKI:
good !!!

You'd find a match in me; I'm a gym addict too.

Do you know oyinkansola Talabi?

No. But just googled her... LoL. She's doing exactly what I would love to do one day. Will follow her on social media. I'm inspired already. Thanks for sharing her profile.

CzarChris:
Now that's wickedness

((Evil Smile))

BALLOSKI:
You shouldn't complain. You look elegant in terms of body shape.

Not only you ; I like it too.

Don't you know most "bursty-girls-loving" guys end up marrying slim or assless girls.

I'm a gym addict.

BALLOSKI:
of course, measuring from the rear , I can see that the back bumps are not as gargantuan as to the point of making me mad like the guys in the picture.



Am I lying?

I'm not complaining. I like it like that. Thank God I didn't make you mad. Madness is not your portion IJN.

[quote author=BALLOSKI post=51795002]Well from megascopic observations, I could see this.



Is that not you on your DP?[/quote

Your telescope must be 4D. Anyway, I don't understand how my original comment constitutes me being jealous of another woman's backside... Smdh.

CzarChris:
Yeah I totally agree with you on that, what is wrong is wrong no matter how we intend to paint it. But my point is that you shouldn't have used that phrase, it's too harsh. Take life easy, not everything deserves a strong reply all the time. It's like killing a mosquito with a bazooka.

Sometimes obliterating the mosquito will deter others... LoL

SycophanticGoat:
I don't see anything wrong in checking out a sexy behind. As long as the guy checking her out doesn't rape her, then no big deal..

I check beautiful girls out when I can and some girls never fails to check a tall dude out when they can (only problem is that most of them who check me out aren't that pretty).

I see

BALLOSKI:
you are just jealous cos your own is flat.

And you know this how

kaptaintintin:
... Dont be a jealousy pikin na

Jealous?? Why?

mecussey:
Why are they shouting...until they hear may day 33k feet above sea level. However, i dey suspect say one prophet don warn the oga.

Hahahaha... Roflol

Intrepid01:

So you want me to fall victim to my own thread??

Intrepid01:
I sent you a pm earlier....I'm still waiting for your response.

Certifiedbillio:

No. Social Worker.

Intrepid01:

I am at work actually.

Intrepid01:

Nope I'm a night watcher.

Greenbullet:

Bingo!!! This green bullet gets smarter by the minute.

Awwwwwwwwwwww what a positive story. Kudos to them.

Don't mind them...

leyman10:

Lol... Smh. Hello.

Elkay3:
They didn't predates on it, it present itself to their sight. She's the predator here.

Wow...

CzarChris:
Babe, why must you take life so seriously? The picture made it clear that this was just a pose for the fun of it, that accusation you made was a serious and heavy one. We watch things worse or if I may use word "worster" than this everyday, the media practically shoves it in our faces every second of the day. If so we are all practically sexual predators both men and women alike. Please stop being so sanctimonious and understand a joke when you see one.

Because we see too many of them on this forum. Especially that stupid meme with the guy sticking his tongue out? Isn't that gross?

davidif:
Predators?!?! Are you serious? Those are some strong accusations you are making.

Goodness! Nigerians and their penchants for using big words out of context sha. You might not like what they are doing but that label is waaaaaaaaay out of line.

I'm not Nigerian. ((Drum roll))

Neyoor:
I guess you've been beguiled or you've fallen for the antics of some male nairalanders. Hence, the reason for nursing this concocted assertion.

Meanwhile, you are wrong!

By the way, sarcasm doesn't suit you.
