Ms Goncalves Wrote:"I believe it was the Holy Spirit of God that really made me want to tell him about Jesus," she said.

Or it was her religious background jumping to the fore in a time of stress - the automatic thoughts of 'God's Protection' that have been deeply indoctrinated into her psyche. I love how she invoked the entire Trinity in that one sentence.

It's called persuasion... not God telling you what you shoud do.

What saved her was that the robber got sympathetic when she told him she would be held responsible for the money.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...

I wonder if that statement was even true though. The robber did have a gun on him; why would the bank hold the woman responsible when she was clearly being forced against her will?

That would make this case quite ironic, since she used a lie to get out of the situation, and I think the Bible has something to say about lying Big Grin

Yup.A crackhead would have shot her in the head and taken the money. Let's hope she's been the catalyst for a trend. We'll see evolution in action,as stuffwits all over the US are killed during robberies as they preach at the robber. OF course in the UK,they'll simply laugh and smack them in the ear. Thats what I usually do and I'm not a robber.

I enjoyed the ad more. Every time I see it I think of this old joke:


A blonde and a brunette are in a lift (elevator).A young man gets in. He has heavy dandruff.

After he gets out,brunette says to the blonde "he needs some 'Head and Shoulder"


Blonde replies "Yes. Umm, how do you give shoulder?"
