A pastor has sparked widespread debate on social media after sharing a testimony about a man who reportedly lost a promising career after resigning from a top-level position at Guinness due to strict church doctrines.
According to the pastor, the man was instructed by church leaders to quit his job because, as a Christian, he was producing alcohol he was not permitted to drink.
“How can a believer work at Guinness when you cannot drink what you produce?” the church reportedly asked him.
The man obeyed the instruction and resigned from his role. However, several years later, he is said to be unemployed, struggling to secure a new job as many companies now consider him overqualified.
The pastor cited the situation as an example of how rigid religious indoctrination can have long-term consequences on people’s careers and livelihoods.
In the same message, the pastor also shared the story of a young woman in the congregation who was taught that God would reveal her future husband to her through dreams. Although she claimed to have seen a particular man in her visions, the man did not reciprocate her feelings and eventually married another woman.
Reflecting on both cases, the pastor criticised blind adherence to doctrine without personal discernment, warning against allowing rigid religious teachings to interfere with real-life decisions.
“Age 59, and you’re still under the siege of someone’s doctrine. The Word of God has to be rightly divided. This thing is a joke,” he said.
Social Media Reactions
