I Just Lied....
 

to a bill collector.

I told her that I did not know "Jermyn Davidson" and that I was tired of all these folks calling my phone for him.

I feel bad and I called the number back, but hung up before talking to anyone because it's pointless-- I have no money for that or most of my other bills since I lost my well-paying job last October.

I'm on my way to church now and hopefully I can pray the condemnation off of me.

I thank God for Grace, but this sure is a stupid way to insult His precious Love and Grace!



I hate sinning sins that really don't have to happen, but then again, is there a such thing as unavoidable sin?

Re: I Just Lied....
 

Well, in the true spirit of Acts 4....can I help?....and I don't mean help with the lie, you'll be fine. But financially?

Re: I Just Lied....
 

for the record, they lied too!


I KNOW that I did not give them this cell phone number to conduct business with ANY of my credit cards.

I live in Florida now, have a Florida cell phone and ALL of these bills were opened long ago, when I lived in DC and MD.


So I really shouldn't feel too bad....




I know, what they do doesn't matter because they're probably on their way to hell anyway....


So much pressure for the economically challenged Christian!!!!

I'm going to skip the whole part about the lie, and just tell you this good news:

If you don't want a bill collector to call you anymore, all you have to do is say so, request that they ONLY contact you in writing (by mail), and write down the date and time that you spoke to them. If they call you again after that to harass you, you can report them to the FTC, and they can be fined upwards of $1,000 PER violation after that. Try to get the full name of the caller. You do have the right to ask for it, and to ask for the nameof their employer. They do NOT have the right to contact you by phone, if you specify your wishes in that regard.

Mike--
Confession is good for the soul they say. I love it because you're so honest and open on here. And God is way more forgiving than we are. Hang in there!!

Re: I Just Lied....

Bless you my son.

Re: I Just Lied....

We must becareful, lying is probably the most common sin in pentecost.

Re: I Just Lied....
 

Since you have repented and been forgiven then what's forgiven is forgotten.
I know what it is like not to have money to pay your bills.

Re: I Just Lied....
 

God hates bill collectors too as it goes against his laws.
