[A fundie talking about how he sent out a newsletter witnessing to his employees and customers. I hope his customers go elsewhere...]
I send it out to 300 employees and another 200 to customers and to prospects.
This month I simply put Jesus' words in our newsletter in red print..."I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me"
Please pray with me His word will change someones heart as I begin to incorporate Gods word in each month.

Yes, they would boycott other grocery stores for the slightest un-Christian imagery...
I kind of hope you lose business over this, but I know I don't have to hope to make it happen.
I had a friend who went to intern at a music production company and quit her second day... because her boss kept telling her to go and copy these Chick tracts and sit down and listen to him preach about Jeebus and such.
"Not my job," she said, "my job is to learn how to mix MUSIC, not be a go-fer for a lunatic."
If every time you went into a grocery store run by a Muslim, would you like it if he handed you a sheet of Qu'ranic extracts with your shopping? No, you would be fucking mad. Stop trying to force your religion down the throats of others who do not ask for it.
Looks like everybody already said what I was gonna say, so I'll just contribute some worthless trolling comment:
"no man comes to the Father but by me"
So, is Jesus endorsing priest molestation now?
"I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me"
What really puzzles me is: what the hell do they hope to achieve with this? I could understand if they were to send out entire sermons, "proof" of creationism, stories of how peoples' lives have been saved by prayer... It'd be bullshit, but at least it might be convincing bullshit. But do they really think there are people in the US who haven't heard of Jesus and who will instantly turn their lives around upon being told he is the truth and the life etc? "Wait, you're saying this Jesus guy is some sort of... religious figure? I never knew that! Sign me up!"

If you need to pray for them to work, your arguments must really suck.
Anyone looked at the other posts, they're all praising this guy.
If I got one of those I'd burn it on his desk in return. If I were a customer I'd take my business elsewhere. If I were an employee, I'd start sending out resumes.
I think it would be fun to find tracts and information for other belief systems and submit them to him and request printing in the newsletter in order to be fair. I'd like to watch his head explode.
I hope your customers do what I would do - take their business elsewhere. You're there to provide <insert product/service here>. If they want to be preached at, they'll go to church.
Same goes for your employees. Hostile workplace, anyone?
One has to admit though, that he is consequent according to his system of faith.
He believes, rapture will come anytime soon, so having his customers is less important (as he won´t need customers in heaven) for him than earning points for good behavior in the eyes of god and maybe saving someone else in this process.
For people who don´t believe in the imminent rapture, his behavior (and that of people at rapture ready and other fundamentaslist evangelical places) his behavior, of course rather looks like some kind of mass psychosis.
Well, let them stay happy for now. I have hope for many of them, that they will finally awake, when they wait and wait and there is no rapture, no divine hand that guides them into heaven. For many of them, of course, it will be a rather rude awakening as they will realize what they have sacrificed for this delusion (like WVBORN56, who probably will lose some customers thanks to his action)
OK, playing devil advocate here: He didn´t ofend anyone, he just invited people to pray with him. Besides, it is his business and there is no law against put religious message in a newsletter. So I don´t thint it is particularly fundie
Confused?
