I am frustrated by a hyper religous christian in an email chain I'm cc'd on. This same person knows my phone number and that I DON'T believe, (it came up in a class we shared...) but she's shooting scripture at me constantly And mysteriously now I'm getting phone calls from some organizations offering to pray for me. I'm irritated by the over the top clinically excessive enthusiasm that disrespects my space and now my phone. Everyone else in the chain is seemingly unphased by her mindless Christian rhetoric... I'm sick of it. Just wanted to vent.
She found out you weren’t a believer, and now it’s her new mission to convert you. The only thing you can really do at this point is block her emails, block the phone calls, and keep your relationship on a professional level only. If you engage, she’s going to think she’s getting to you and therefore try harder.
Who would Jesus spam? If you have made it quite clear to her that you do not want her to do that or cause others to do that on your behalf, and have a record of all the messages and phone calls you have received since telling her no, you might be able to file harassment charges against her, and if the court lets you do that, some kind of action against her might happen. That's a lot of work for very little chance of results though.
Do make it very clear to her that she is to stop harassing you like this, and if you have said so to her before, remind her that you have already asked her before. You may want to make that a public request on the chain mail. Do change your phone number. Make records starting now if you have not done so already, and if the harassment continues, then you will have to take the long shot of filing.
I don't get it. Why aren't you confronting her, blocking her from your email, mentioning it publically to your group, and/or dumping the email chain?
Let her know that you are angry with her behavior and by her disrespect for your beliefs and privacy. Let her knw that, if necessary, uou will go to court and get a :cease and desist" order. When you get a call from those organizations, tell them clearly and unequivocally NEVER to call you again!
Change your phone number for your sanity now. Drop the email chain too.
You can block specific numbers.
Changing phone numbers is a huge inconvenience anymore.
YIKES! I'd be a bit ticked off, and it seems a bit harassing. Might need to put your phone number on the do not call list and tell the christian to remove you name from her address book/list and/or stop calling you.
You can block people on your phone. I have my own mother blocked. Works great.
On my work phone I use a blocking app.It sort of works well except marketers are always using a bunch of numbers to call from.
@Reignmond Oh yeah, I have an app on my phone that blocks most spam calls. It's MrNumber.
The trouble with these folks is they are so caught up in their own belief that the cannot see beyond it. Explain to her that much as you respect her view (lie). You would like her to do the same. Just because you cannot make that leap of faith does not mean you dont respect christian values (lie again). If what she says is true then christ will find you in good time (lie) but until that time comes can she please shut up? As for the organisations tell them you don
t need prayer but money would be nice. They will leave skid marks.
I usually tell them to put the book down a second and show me scientific evidence that anything that book had to say is real if you can't just shut up.
Faith is not scientific. It's belief in make-believe.
You can block calls and make emails as spam. The internet is slowly being redesigned to exploit you.
