My young cousin who had just started working seems to be targeted by some Christians in her office.

She is in her early 20s and recently she told my aunt that she wants to covert to Christianity. She said that it is her calling and does not want to listen to anyone in her family.

I found out that the person trying to convert her is her female superior.

Is it acceptable? Like this can complain or not? Is this a form of abuse of power as the superior is in a position to influence and there is an indirect pressure to comply.

What would you do in such cases har?
that is the evil of freedom of religion.

Actually depends on how it is done. Personally I think it is in bad taste to bring religion into the work place. Personally use to bait those converters but after a few tries they pretty much gave up. Joke is it seems that I know more about their religion than they did.

I was born Taoist, by 15 yrs old i have so many Taoist Amulets/rings/prayers badges etc all over me, in my wallet, pockets, chain.. I live in fear. I spend time and money worship my Gods
for favour to strike lottery and to gain protection vs ghosts and bad luck.

By 21 yrs old I was converted to Christian. Christian school, friends and girlfriends were my influence. I live with faith & hope. Raise my own family and frequently seeing myself donating my spare
money to my church. After 20 years with no savings and still can't "speak in tongues" or go into trance no matter how focus & sincere i've prayed. I pack my bags and moved into....

The Buddhist camp. Found out that Buddhism is NOT a religion but a philosophy of life. Now I live in peace. I have now a lot more then when i was younger but i've lost interest in most things cos i've learnt not to crave. Wtf ! lol.... That's Life

It is a spiritual journey. Surprisingly your family no KPKB about it.
What do you mean by going into trance? You mean during your sunday mass.

Those preachy buggers have the least respect and tolerance for the freedom of others.

Your cousin is an adult, in the real world - she should make her own choice.

Around us are all kinds, religious zealots, atheist, commies, fitness buffs, partyers, isolationists, etc. We make our decisions who we want to associate with and what we want to do.

Of course you can give her your advice, but it is she who calls her shots.

At place of work - anything is acceptable as long as it promotes staff cohesion.

If I were in your shoes, I'd tell her to try it out for a while (since she feels compellted) and if it doesn't feel comfortable, to discretely disengage herself.

Cheers

Preaching to non-believers unethical. Evangelism is unethical. Such practice should be criminalized and practitioners classified under charlatans. Whatever religion, using sales and pressure tactics on people, especially when taking advantage of vulnerable moments of weakness due to unfortunate circumstances, to believe in invisible man or visible statue is an act of charlatanism.

actually hor , the so called taoist you commonly meet should not be called taoist.
what they do is a kind of degenerated , corrupted form of the pure Taoist practice. almost 99% of the mark from the original.
of course you lived in fear because you don't know what you doing and what the real taoist practises.
the real original form emphasise on strict moral conduct , up righteousness , pure living.
