HOLY CRAP
Hey Guys, I Just Learned About a New Gig on StinkedIn
Maybe you, too, can be a “Digital Evangelist”

Yesterday, I wrote a story about what I thought was an inappropriate post on StinkedIn. Where, on this faux business site, people now go to show off their tits or bleat about their personal triumphs, which have nothing to do with actual work and everything to do with snatching their “fifteen minutes.”
For your convenience, I’ve linked to that story, below. In a nutshell, a woman who was addicted to heroin, I believe, shared that she was one thousand days clean and gave most of the credit to God, or Jesus. Or, both.
What’s the difference? The hell if I know.
She also posted before and after photos as a snapshot of her “journey.” As I said, you can read all about it in my previous piece.
Because oftentimes, I can’t help myself, I made the heinous mistake of airing my opinion, as follows:
This is NOT the place for a “Come to Jesus,” meeting. As some of the comments here border on the fanatical, I find them very inappropriate. How many people do you imagine have overcome similar obstacles without bleating about them on social media? Especially on a so-called “business site?” Do you want to discuss something of relevance? How about the terrifying decision to overturn Roe V Wade? One that has branded the US as a backward nation that cares nothing about women’s rights. Any “amens” to that?
Do I need to tell you the type of blowback I’ve received? And am continuing to receive?
It’s frightening, frankly. And an encapsulation of everything that’s gone wrong in the US. Spewed by right-wing maniacs who refuse to discuss such relevant topics as civil rights, for example, but scamper out of the woodwork like roaches when one makes a comment that merely touches upon religion.
Know that I blocked a few of the loonier lunatics, but here’s an example of the steaming stream of turdsicles being flung in my general direction.
From Corinne: That IS the problem. Most have taken MY Lord out of the equation. He is first. In ALL aspects. Glory be to God
I’m guessing she’s eluding to yours truly.
From David: God is good.
Succinct and to the point. Gotta love that.
From Margie: God is good.
Huh. Didn’t I just read that?
From Millie: Amen.
You gotta give these folks points for brevity.
From Arthur: Hallelujah! Praise the Lord. Your first birth leads to death, your second birth has lead to LIFE
Huh?
From Onah: Thank you Jesus.
Onah. This isn’t about you.
From Ayinke: Amazing God!
Yep. Got it.
From Anita: You’re a wonderful living testament to all the what if! Believe in the Power of God Almighty and you will be lifted and feel complete again. You are loved and Blessed.
And I’m just a shit.
From King Ali: Share and spread Avoid the mother of evil
Would that be me?
From Gordon:
When the jailer was spared fr death; Also when Saul was confronted by Jesus; and the Jews heard the gospel on Pentecost; they asked the same question (Lord, Lord what will have me to do?). Acts 16; Acts 9; Acts 2. They were given time to look seriously at the will of God. Rashawn you did not die; but you were allowed more time to really look at your life and look what God says about your life and God’s will. Not what many in the world say. MANY are wrong. Matt. 7:13,14; Matt. 7:21–23; II Tim. 2:15; John 14:1–6; John 12:48; Revelation 20:12. I you want me to explain this more clearly please message me from this response. Gnw.
What the ever-loving F?
From Durra: Pray you see Jesus himself , ask for that from him . He will do it . Use his warring and proection angels and asked him to let you see them . It makes a big diffrence in your faith !. YOU WILL SEE THEM.
I don’t know about you but that would scare the shit out of me.
From Eunice: Amen! Our God is the Living God 🙏
Okay. I’m confused here. By the way, I lost count of all the praying hand emojis that commenters used to punctuate their testimonies. Because GOD KNOWS, what would they do without them?
Folks, again, my beef is that this outpouring of religious mania doesn’t belong on a site allegedly devoted to “all things workplace.” Why not post such a story on Facebook, for example?
The comments are still coming in, by the way. So many “praise the lords” that my head hurts.
I didn’t share the many posts calling me “unhinged” and worse because I blocked them and they’ve disappeared into the abyss. I do wonder, however, how many of those wackos reported me. We shall see, I guess.
Finally, and apropos of my title here, because of my StinkedIn post, I’ve been alerted to an exciting new…I don’t know…industry, where perhaps, even someone as unemployable as myself, could make a few buckeroos.
From Kathy: I think you all are missing the point. The founder of Blessed Media, (the OP), is sharing this story which relates to her business as she’s also a Digital Evangelist.
Mein Gott! A Digital Evangelist! Who knew that this was a business? And Kathy wasn’t the first person to enlighten me. Maybe some of us who are “job-challenged” could give this new gig a try.
What do you think? Could I be a Digital Evangelist? Let me know in the comments so I can jump on this and be blessed with a better bottom line.
Thanks!
