Some kinds of jobs

The saints are not allowed to do certain works because these works lead them to break the commandments of God. Let us see some of these works you must not do.

You must not work in an industry which produces weapons (bombs, rifles, pistols, mines, etc.) lest you be guilty of making some objects men use to kill other men or to harm them.

You must not work in a nightclub, lest you see indecent behaviours and hear obscenities and you have fellowship with the unfruitful works of the devil.

You must not work as a wedding photographer, lest you be led to frequent perverse people and to attend religious services in places of worship full of demons (such as those of the Roman Catholic Church and of the sects) and to say to the bride and the bridegroom to do certain things which they are allowed to do only privately and not publicly, and because many women who attend weddings are dressed like the prostitutes to draw attention to themselves.

You must not work as a goldsmith, lest you produce jewelry for men and women, and medals with the image of Mary or some other saint engraved in them, which are used by many people as lucky charms.

You must not work as a seller of worldly magazines and newspapers, lest you help to spread vanity and perversion.

You must not work as a bartender, lest you be forced to give wine and alcoholic drinks to the drunkards and alcoholics, to sell cigarettes, etc…

You must not work as a seller of worldly tapes, records and CD, lest you help to spread the diabolical music.

You must not cultivate tobacco, for cigarettes are made from tobacco and as you know smoking harms people.

You must not work as a jeweller, lest you help men and women to adorn themselves with vanity.

These are just some of the works that believers must not do, lest they have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness and they defile their own conscience, yes, because if we have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness we will defile our conscience. And we must strive “to have a conscience without offense toward God and men” (Acts 24:16 - NKJV). Do not despise this spiritual exercise, brothers, lest you suffer shipwreck concerning the faith.
