Featured Should Christians be tattletales?

Here is another example of stealing. If you are coming to the end of a fiscal year, and have not used all the money allocated to your department the previous year, and are told to use all the money in the next two weeks, whether needed or not, that is stealing from the American people, the taxpayer. So do not even give me that song and dance of honesty within the federal government.

 

What are you even talking about? You are making arguments against something that's not even being talked about. No one is even talking about the federal government except you. We are talking about issues which we can report,and whether or not we should. In another thread you said I was out of touch. Reevaluate yourself and you'll see that you aren't even discussing the issues. That's out of touch.

 

Wrong again [juvenile attack snipped]. You insisted on making stealing a standard of this thread and telling on those who do it. All I am doing is calling you to account on the above practice. It goes on every year and every quarter in every department. In the Navy, once it involved throwing perfectly good supplies and equipment overboard into the ocean. It takes various forms in various departments.

By the way, since you make such an issue of sticking to the thread, why did you bring up stealing in the first place. What does that have to do with people who interact on a board such as this?

 

big "yes". this is theft, of company resources and time.

no. enforcing their rules is the hotel's responsibility, but I'm sure not going to trust that person anymore. how can you trust somebody in bigger things, if you can't trust her with small ones ?

rat on him ? what, Christians supposed to like the rap "don't snitch" and agree with the bums and criminals that we ought to look the other way when laws are broken ? that is theft and last I looked, it was supposed to be a crime, and those who do this are criminals. lawbreakers. offenders, and it becomes a felony depending on how long the piggybacker had been hitching on somebody else's cable account.
if we agree with this, then there's no reason not to look the other way when illegals come into the country, or when lazy people piggyback on the welfare system. we might as well be wearing our pants way down showing our undies with the seams triple folded around the shoes and our hats wrong side front and smirks on our faces and tough guy looks and gaits and ooze out attitude and flip the bird at the cops and everything that says authority and law and order.

 

Oh Christian Jim decided one day he was going live every day without sin and he was going to make sure every one else did to. As he was sitting in the break room before work time one day he noticed that two Christian brothers were laughing out loud and joking around. Christian Jim thought to himself, scripture say's in Prov 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin. I guess I will just have to report them to the boss for that. At lunch time a friend of Christian Jim walked over to Jim's table and set down and began a conversation and told Jim he didn't feel well that day and was in doubt to whether he could make his production. Well, say's Christian Jim the bible say's whatsoever is not of faith is sin, so again I must report him to the supervisor for his own good. The moral of the story is, sin is sin so if we start tattling on other people they might see the same in you.

 

I didn't make it about stealing. The op did. And I stick to my answer. If you see stealing report it. That includes stealing on a government level. In my case, my units have always run out of money well before the fiscal year, so much so that we had to cancel/postpone training. So much for your "every year, every quarter, every department" idea. And how could you possibly call ME into account for it if it DID happen? Your arguments are making no sense. I am not supply. I don't handle things like that. And the "Gomer Pyle Breath" name calling has not gone unnoticed.

 

This isn't about making sure everyone else lives without sin, and reporting sin. This is about reporting sin when it hurts a third party, such as an employer, or the cable company.

 

I agree perfectly with the way you handled scenario 3. You didn't give all that information in the op. But with that information, yeah, that's good.

I also would have handled scenario 2 the same way.

I am not condemning you for your handling of scenario 1. But I would have handled it differently. I've already posted my opinion on it.
