  • franchisepick, on 12/04/2007, -1/+2Good post, Miranda.
    I have worked extensively with Christian companies, and was in upper management of one for many years. I live in an area (Eastern PA) where many companies are very open about their faith, and where it's not uncommon to see bible verses on jam or salad dressing labels or on restaurant placemats. I enjoy helping companies effectively weave their beliefs into their brand communications when appropriate, and the motives of those I work with are very sincere.

    However, we deal with a lot of new ventures and entrepreneurial opportunities, so my anti-scam radar is always on. I am always on guard (and teach my employees to be as well) when someone identifies themselves or their company as "Christian" within the first five minutes of meeting them. One of the worst scammers I ever met arrived early for our meeting so everyone would walk past his car and see him reading his morning scripture. Four months later, he disappeared with his young secretary and his elderly clients' retirement funds. The Bible is the favorite tool of scoundrels, and always has been.

    I'm sure he plans to repent 30 seconds before the buzzer sounds. Hopefully he'll go in his sleep.
