| ... Was Walked Out Of A Training For Refusing To Dance To A Secular Song by berepiki(m): 3:49pm On Aug 12, 2015 |
Just got an employed few days ago... Started training dat day... 3days later I was walked out of the training for refusing to dance to a song titled 'shake body' by skales... The management said am not a team player... Buh I objected because being a team player doesn't mean I should break my personal principles... As a Christian I use my body to dance to songs that praise God...I can also dance to a good song even if itx secular like 'Godwin'... Or ' happy ' by Pharrell Williams and e.t.c... Am a spiritually detailed person... I carefully do things that are free of viruses... I believe the name of JESUS or the Kingdom of God should be praised in a song and not a woman or her body... Songs create an atmosphere...some will say it doesn't matter buh many songs have corrupted the society we live today... I don't mind losing the Job if my Spirituality will be affected... I believe things that are morally good can be used to foster teamwork What's ur advice as a believer to another believer concerning a matter like this... 3 Likes |

Should I kiss a snake because everyone is in the team is doing it? ... Should I have sex because everyone in the team is doing it?... Must I prove to be a team player by doing what is against my faith?... Note: i was told to go home that I will hear from the management soon... If am not sacked at the end of the day, how do I handle cases like this? 1 Like |

U did d rite thing my brother. Organisations place value on staff that dont easily compromise their values. This is a rare quality, it ll take u far. Wether they call u back or not, stick to ur personal values. If they do call u,they ll respect u for it. |

berepiki: Well Op, it is difficult to understand why any organization wud sack u for simply refusing to dance to a secular song. I wud only bliv it's probably the manner in which u sent d msg, which kud give a negative perception about the way u relate with ppl, especially those who are nt so spiritual like u. The mgt therefore felt u ll b very difficult to work with. I will advice u ease up a bit. We shud always have it at d back of our mind dat tho we r Christians, we r in the world but not of the world. Hence, we hv to be wise in d way we deal wt ppl of d world otherwise, we will only end up on the losing side and become a laughing stock to the devil. The bible says b wise as a serpent and b harmless like a dove. Am not saying u shud compromise, am just saying b careful in the manner u pass ur msg, so ppl respect ur decision but not question ur attitude. 2 Likes |

This OP mumu die walahi, isn't it the same bible that said give unto Ceasar what belongs to him and to God his. Didn't Jesus dine with the sinners, didn't Peter do like wise? Didn't Hezekiah marry an Harlot, didn't Jesus turn water into wine? Didn't Jacob lie to Isaac his own father to get his blessing, didn't Rahab have to lie to save the isrealites from the people of Jericho? Why you kon dey form 'Na me holy pass'? Instead make you shake body small, once your managers see your unwillingness dem go say make you go shit down, you go dey form original spirikoko. Now them don sack you, you kon come here dey write epistle, walahi if I be your old man na TB Joshua church i go bundle you go for serious special deliverance. Oshi iranu!  Friedplantain 4 Likes |

berepiki: .. your own faith is on some next level my brother! and in some strange way, I kinda admire it... Remember 2 Timothy 3:12 , its only natural that we will suffer persecution because of our faith.. .. But like someone else previously said, be careful how you pass across your message sha.. This world is a hostile place. You will surely be rewarded for this!  1 Like |

OP needs deliverance  Was finally sacked today... Glory be to GodYou were simply sacked for not being a team player,it was just a simple 'Be Happy' moment with your new colleagues, all these silly glory to god adulations doesn't cut it. Silly christians, always wanting to play the victim/the persecuted one even when its crystal clear that all is well. I'd say good riddance. All this secular and non-secular classification crap sef 2 Likes |

so op if you discover internet was invented by a devil worshiper you'll stop using it? I'm not saying you should compromise your faith, but in everything you do apply wisdom. |

The problem with some Christians is that we spiritualize everything. The song said you should 'shake body', all you had to do was just shake body. Not as if the Mgt of the School was asking to dance Alanta or Skelewu(even though some brethren do dz dances a lot in church). The GODWIN crooner(a supposed secular musician) has performed in lots of churches, the Bishops/Pastors didn't condemn him. Well, you've done what u felt was right for you and so I'm not judging you. Goodluck in your Job search! 1 Like |

Op maybe you didn't say it exactly how it happened, u mean u were sitting on your own while others were dancing and management sent u home? That's kinda not clear cos in almost all social gatherings u will find some shy ones or firewood body who would just sit and laugh along with those dancing cos not that they don't want to dance but because they don't know how and don't want to make a fool of themselves in public. Even in churches not everyone dances although everyone may think they are but u still find dos firewood stone men who just stand and clap along. Op either u were looking at those dancing with scorn and contempt all over ur face while ur body language was one of someone who hates the action of ur colleagues celebrating in their own way. Remember u guys were supposed to be celebrating a success for training well concluded and only u on ur own was scornful and looking like a hater. Am just saying o, not as if I was there but I just imagined what the situation might have been. Or op r u sure u didn't utter a word of some sort back at management when they playfully asked u to join d others dance? Op give us details of what might have transpired cos in another thread u created u gave the address and name of d school which u said is Education plus in G.R.A Porthacourt, hope ur not on a smear campaign. But if in ur details u give it became clear u were sitting in a happy manner and smiling at your colleagues dancing or u also playfully told management u were shy and can't dance cos u don't want to make a fool of urself then it means the school badt sha. Let's hear details... Thanks op |

Well it's a good thing you didn't get the employment eventually. You most likely would have turned the office to your praying ground and distributing flyers for a crusade every other weekend.If your superior calls for a meeting,you'll tell him you're still praying to your god and as far as you're concerned,your god takes precedence over any meeting. I've seen people like you at work places. Very difficult to work with,no sense of humour,everything is scrutinised thoroughly whether it to your god's liking. Always keeping their distance. They don't want to be unequally yoked with 'unbelievers'. Sigh..una wahala too much. I can just picture the scenario when your new gaffer called on everybody to hit the floor. Your countenance immediately changed and you quipped at him; 'sorry sir but i can't dance to this kind of satanic music. My god does not approve. I am a spiritually detailed person'. Lol. Issokai. Why not just get a job in your church and be equally yoked with believers like you. That way you only dance to up,up Jesus..down..down Satan. Or better still,establish your own church. Simples! |
