Hi Guys,
I've been working at my new job for the past 8 months and on the floor that I work, there is just two of us at the front of the office. The other girl is a Jehovah's witness. While talking to each other over the months she became aware that I'm a Christian.
Now at first she was very nice, but for the past month or so she has began
ATTACKING me about my beliefs, which would often end up in us arguing about the WORD.
First of all she made it pretty clear that ALL PASTORS especially PASTOR CUFFIE feed off the congregations money and also implied that PASTORS are NOT GOOD by showing me in her "BIBLE" Jeremiah 23:1-4. I tried to explain the scripture to her but it just ended up in a big arguement in which I later apologised to her because I knew this wasn't the way that CHRIST would have handled the situation.
She even went as far as ACCUSSING me of not reading the "WHOLE BIBLE".
All of a sudden I've stop talking about or making mentioning of anything that would bring conflict between us which has left us with very little to say to each but things pertaining to work.
It seems that she is just ready to snap at me with anything I say or do. All of a sudden work has become a burden to me. I told her that religion does not matter but RELATIONSHIP with GOD is what it is all about.
Now everyday she brings her "BIBLE" and "STUDY BOOKS" to work and reads them on her desk in her spear time. She and one of her HINDU friends from the second floor seems to get annoyed by me having my radio on 98.1Fm, which by the way, one of the bosses gave me so that I can listen to music daily.
I wonder if she has ever ministered to her other "friends" in the company because they are all from different religions other than hers, but it seems as though I'm a major threat to her because of my belief in CHRIST as GOD.
I'm really trying with the situation but GOD has really given me a task to deal with. Can someone please give me some advice on how to deal with this situation.
Thnx,
Merissa.
