No More Preaching

Susanp301 — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 14:40:15 GMT

I turned on QVC yesterday and saw Jayne preaching about her faith. The today I had to listen to Kirsten and and Candace who ever preaching aboutChristianity and Jesus. First of all, not everyone is a Christian. Second if I want preaching I can go on line and listen to a church, synagogue mosque etc. I do not want this on a shopping channel. Turned QVC off immediately. Keep it up and I'll turn it off permanently.

Its truly a sad day that someone can not talk about their faith. No one said you have to agree. They chose their spiritual path and you have your path of choice. Threats will not work either.

@Imaoldhippie , I just don't like it when it's used to sell merchandise, it's cheap and tacky.

@QVCkitty1 .......I did not see the show so I dont know if they were using religion to sell a product or not. Or if they were speaking that their faith was helping them, etc.

the product is faith based, so why wouldn't they?

@Imaoldhippie @Susanp301 A shopping channel should not bring religion into any presentations. Stick to selling merchandise. I believe that Q forbids anything religious on Q's forums?? JMO

I agree with you @Susanp301. Faith is personal and should be kept that way. DIscuss it among like-minded family and friends if you wish, but not on a home shopping channel as part of marketing the goods.

There's no preaching going on. Candance didn't show up randomly to lead the flock, she's a vendor for a devotional & bible item so what do you expect her to talk about...her shoe size?

@kitcat51 ................thank you for that information. I did not see the show so I could not really take a position, just give my thought. Since it was a Bible this thread is reprehensible and moot.

I guess I don't agree one must delve into a discussion of their own faith in order to sell a faith based item. There really is no need to personalize the sales pitch for everything sold here. They probably do it because it's been assessed it helps move the goods.

@Imaoldhippie It may be a sad day but not for the reason you mention. There's a time and place for everything and a shopping channel is not the place to discuss one's religion. I'm with @Susanp301 . It's literally a total turn off for me too. We don't discuss it here on the boards and neither should it be discussed in QVC.

Amen! I couldn't agree more.

I agree. It’s not the appropriate platform for the discussions and is VERY tacky when they try to use it to sell (non bible) items.

If it’s the Bible they’re selling I just try Q2 for alternative programming or find something else to watch entirely.

I also do not think hosts discussing their personal religious beliefs on air is appropriate.

They can discuss the product without offering their person religious beliefs, if not then don't present the product.

My opinion.

Mixed feelings on this. If they were selling bibles or jewelry with faith based items - hmmmmm I guess I'm on the fence. But selling makeup or vacuums they should keep it private. I was raised to be private about my faith. I do discuss with some friends/family but I am sensitive to others who do not.

Actually I don't want them selling this stuff on air. Put it on line

It may be reprehensible and moot to you but it was offensive to me.

Susanp301 — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 16:35:24 GMT

There was no threat. I will continue to not watch

QVC's goal is to sell as many products as they can in good times and bad by any means necessary.
