Insurance agents are selling what? (a promise to pay) for just in case... what? You are not getting anything tangible if you never have to use it.
If you ever drop that insurance because of financial difficulties, then you lost every dime you put into it. Or they drop you if you ever have to use it. 
If any of you sell insurance, don't take it personally. |
Car salesmen as well are notorious for cheating customers. Pretty much any profession though has bad and good to it. Even police officers have corruption issues and can be a challenge for well meaning christian law enforcement officers. We need to be led by the Lord on all matters including our careers. As for the hair cutting, I'm not a fan of the uncut hair doctrine anyway, so... no foul?

You lost me on the insurance thing. I am a BIG believer in insurance. Of course if you "drop it" (read that stop paying for it) because of financial difficulties or any other reason you will have lost every dime you put into it (assuming you are talking term life insurance or car insurance). I don't find that bad or strange at all. If I stop paying for my gym membership I don't get to go. If I don't pay at the movie theater for my ticket they don't let me in!
My father died when I was young and I know that the life insurance he had the wisdom to take out meant a world of difference for my mom and myself.
Likewise the peace of mind of knowing if I do something stupid and cause injury or damage to someone else or someone elses property they will be made whole as much as possible is something I value.
You sound to me like someone who wants something for nothing when it comes to insurance and don't value what it does.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
