Hello Vimal....
You are absolutely correct in what you are doing. because its your character and your are brought up like that.....
But one thing...please don't be offended....Its not your true character...when you can speak to other Branch members why can't you speak to your own collegues....afterall they don't expect more from you.
If you don't like the prasadha they give...just tell to them decently...which friend would like to pester you even after that....
I have 18 friends in my gang and I am the only christian...when all my friends go to temple I go there and wait outside the temple....though they pestered me at first after sometime they ignored me thinking that its my character....
You said that you are afraid that Jesus would punish you but it is jesus who said....
"Love thy neighbour as thyself"
This does not mean that I am compelling you to speak your collegues...Its only an advice...because Vimal one day in future you might realise that you have missed small, small happiness in life which may mean a lot to you.....
"One day you may realise
that you have lost precious gems....
while you were busy collecting stones"
Afterall....when you one dies he/she needs atleast four people to carry him/her.....
Regards
A Friend.

I can understand w8 u wanted 2 say. I am a hindu an i had to stay for more than 4 months with my collegues who r muslims moreover in the month of ramzan when I was having navratras. U can understand W8 i mean.
Friend U can never be a good leader if u are not good in ur team. regarding the offerings, I dont feel u r right in this regd. as giving prasad is not an offering. u r not begging for it. those people are giving by themselves. so i dont feel any harm religiously neither that is a offering.
I have many friends in goa who r christian and we usually share things in food or drinks when ever we are together.
moreover no religion says that u have to hate good things of other relegions. U being an educated person should mix up with ur collegues as no work can be acomplished without a team effort. Being lonely is a no solution.
Moreover if u dont like U take them in front and drop somewhere where no one can touch it by feet.
This is a sincere advice

in which yuga are you living dear.Jesus never preached any caste or creed. he only taught the world how to love each other and how not hurt others feelings. The offering of prasad by believers is a routine affair in temples. Actually the diety is not eating the same. It is the belief of the people that if they distribute the offering as prasadam, their dear ones also will be blessed. So with a good intention only somebody will offer you. I think you are seeing this world under christianity only. You just see your predecessors. Was any indian a born christian. Infact all were converted to christianity. Most of the people converted them to christian because of the rigid castism and untouchability prevailed in our country. In order to get rid of these evils some people embraced christianity because in christian philosophy all are equal before god. so how can you say that jesus will punish you if you have the offerings given by other caste. First you have to remove the castism from your mind because in this world only two castes are available i.e.man and woman. In your office also you should mingle with your colleagues instead of sitting lonely because Jesus also says to part with everything you have with your friends and partners. So be a good boy and start treating your colleagues as your own people and then find the pleasure in it. wish you good luck.

I too am christian but i like makin friends all around the world.
I too dont accept offerings given to me bcoz these offerings r dedicated to their gods and then distributed so we should not accept it.In that case u r right.
But sittin alone......
I dont say it is not right but it'll b good if u made some friends.
But some people dont like making friends if u r of that type then keep in mind that whenever u sit alone u r not alone god is always there with u wherever u r,so then just keep thanking and praying for whatever he did for u.
That's it.Good luck.

Kindly read it carefully,
first of all,jesus is not the GOD, he was just a messanger of GOD,
Because it is written in Bible because he always indicate about his father and who is non other than God, it means that he was not God but the messanger of almity god,because u can very well analysis about trinity concept,
and one day will come when jesus will come again on the face of earth to eradicate this misconception,
but as for as 'Prasad ' is conciren, nothing should be have on which any name have been evoked beside True
almighty GOD, So the concept of prasad is right,
for further clarification u can contact me,

There are two parts of life. One is Spritual side and the other is Materialistic side.
In spritual side your behaviour is ok. But it always better to make sure that you loving all like what Jesus did.
In materialistic side I think it is difficut to stay like this. If you are loving all then this side will also be ok.

Wrong.....to have friends a man must First be friendly. You can be friends with people and still not sin. Christ encouraged many things and one of them is accept people for the way they are. Don't try to change them, pray Christ will change them
