So, my tree company tells me they are serving god by trimming my trees. So my first

[RKP5637]

thought is WTF, if you were truly serving god you'd be doing it for free. You're trimming my trees for $$$$, so get over your god propaganda thing about trimming my trees.

[Skidmore]

1. Then they had better be doing a superlative job otherwise you

need a refund.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

2. I'd be looking to spend my $$$ with someone less likely to vote puke.

You know, free market and all.

[RKP5637]

4. Yep, this is the last time I'll be using them. I need to get some things done quickly as

winter is setting in and they do an excellent job, but next time around it'll be with someone else. After that, I bet they do vote puke!

3. maybe they serve a nature god

5. God trimmed my trees using an ice storm, a dercho, and Tropical Storm Sandy.

Thanks for saving me the cash God!

[HockeyMom]

6. +1

Yep, that is how God truly WOULD do it.

[RKP5637]

10. Thank God! n/t

[Bonhomme Richard]

12. Same here and he also placed them.......

exactly where they wouldn't cause any damage to mine or my neighbors property.
Great job....and free to boot!

[RKP5637]

17. I always wait for god to move my leaves each year ... and he goes a great job of

placing them on my neighbors' lawns when he sends the winds.

[HopeHoops]

7. Um, if there IS a God, he wouldn't be in favor of trimming trees.

[FSogol]

8. Well, he does work in mysterious ways....

[HopeHoops]

11. So I've heard.

9. Pruning, not trimming!

Only Certified Arborists serve God by Pruning.

[Chiyo-chichi]

13. If God made the trees, they should be perfect the way they are

and there should be no need to trim them.

There's a problem with their whole business model.

An insurance company near my house used to have a sign that read "If you pray, why worry?"

I would follow up to anyone who would listen with "if you don't worry, why buy insurance?"

[RKP5637]

16. Yep, they're trimming trees and destroying god's work which apparently

isn't good enough for them! A blasphemous outfit!!!

[louis-t]

14. (cough, cough)cult(cough)

I keep thinking about the Seinfeld episode about the carpet cleaners that were a cult.

[dem4ward]

15. And on top of it they sell that wood and make even more $$$! LOL

unless you kept it.

[Maplegrass]

18. They should keep their religious beliefs to themselves in matters of business

I have learned through hard experience that whenever someone mentions religion in a business setting, you are about to get ripped off.

[RKP5637]

21. I've found that to be true too! They use it as a gimmick to suck in the lambs and

marks. Although, this company has a good reputation ... This is a whole new thing with them, injecting god into everything. To me, religion, politics and social agendas should not be part of a business if one wants a broad base of customers. I just want my trees trimmed/cut, I'm not looking for a religious experience. I've been using this company for about 10 years, this is a whole new thing and was a WTF for me.

19. Does the worker not deserve his wages?

[RKP5637]

20. Nothing wrong with the workers wages and the company profits, but I don't

like being told they are doing it for god as an advertising gimmick.
