Host Kerstin - Page 3

As someone else said: If we aren't quite sure, better to pay by check. I'm guessing that once they receive our check and it's cleared, then it's shipped. Plenty of time to cancel, hopefully, especially if we haven't yet sent our check. OOOPS, SORRY, WRONG THREAD, lol.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

QVC is the only shopping channel I know of that lets the host discuss their religion on air. I think is is stepping outside of the box in a negative way. We do not need to discuss religion when selling tupperware. Just like on these talk boards... religion is pretty much not a subject allowed. And for a reason. Lets keep religion in Church and home and not on a shopping Channel.

Some Jtv hosts have been doing it for years. Especially Heidi, she practically preaches a sermon if she's doing a show on Sunday mornings. One of the Liquidation Channel hosts gets carried away with it too. I don't get it. I think it's inappropriate. When we were kids, my Grandfather called it "wearing one's religion on his sleeve". Just "believing" isn't enough for them; they want the whole world to know. It's tacky. The weird thing is that the hosts can blah blah blah about it all but our board babysitters would never allow any discuss of religion or politics here....double standard anyone....lol

There's a big difference between a host talking on air and posters arguing about religion on a message board where moderators are made to, as you put it, babysit the threads. I don't see the double standard.

anniemae, I admire Kerstin as a host and a mom and wife. This lady seems to care for everyone. Did you read that she does the 60 mile walk for breast cancer? I think I read that QVC is giving her time off in Nov. to do it again. I also think she is Catholic which I am also but what ever faith she associates with she does take it seriously and I find that to be wonderful. She and her husband seem to have a very wonderful marriage and enjoy doing so many different things together. They are good dancers and love to dance with their little girls. So glad you started this thread about Kerstin I enjoy her so much when she is hosting can't find one thing bad to say about her.

She's not the only host on QVC who does this walk.

Thank you, cater!! Yes, I've read about her stories about her family. I just find her to be a very positive person, and I like that.

It is obvious she is walking the talk on her religion... she was discussing a huge party to celebrate Jesus's birthday with a cake she had yesterday... and this morning she is wearing a huge cross around her neck. Next she will be wearing a sandwich board with all the details.. some people like to do that.... her business, no problem.

I have several decorative crosses and an Indian-made charm bracelet that's all crosses. They have no spiritual meaning for me. They're just jewelry. Wearing a huge cross can mean nothing.

I've seen her a few times, I don't know much about her but to be honest, I am not a fan of this trend toward preaching religion and tallking about one's faith on shopping channels. There's a place for such discussions.....and this isn't it. I was brought up and raised my children in the belief that religion, politics and money are subjects we discuss with people we are close to. If someone is selling me shoes or hamburger, I don't care what their beliefs are.

You don't see the slightest hint of this sort of behavior on the other channels, thank goodness.

The poster you just responded to wrote this in the very next post under the one you quoted ~

Just because they are strong in their faith doesn't mean they want to go to war....with you......

With all due respect, that isn't the point. It simply doesn't belong on a shopping channel. Unless the product being sold are crosses, bibles or little ceramic churches, it doesn't belong. I, like most here believe there are really nice, kind, genuine people out there but unless they want to turn off a buying public, their personal beliefs (whether it's religion, child rearing, politics or the weather....) just

doesn't belong on a shopping channel.

So when is this turning off of the public going to happen? They've been selling on air for years and, so far, things seem to going pretty well.

I think some people are skeptical of everyone. I know many people who like to share their faith. They don't push it on others, but they talk openly about what it means to them. I am not offended in the least.

Because the hosts sell for a living, the more cynical among us naturally thinks there's an agenda going on. Personally, I don't think so, but everyone is free to believe as they wish.
----------------------------------------
I don't think there is an agenda, but I do think a shopping channel is not the place for a sales person to discuss religious beliefs. Would you want your Target checkout lady to start talking religion with you or the Wal Mart friendly greeter standing at the WM door?? If a host needs to communicate about strong beliefs and issues of life, they should use their QVC blogs!! Then, if someone cared to hear/read about it, the blogs are there to be followed. I really think QVC
should not allow these topics to be part of the sales techniques...
