Somebody’s getting fired

December 1, 2010 / Ben Reed / 26 Comments

When you get a call from somebody telling you they want to be a small group leader…

be worried.

When you get a call like this…

quit your job.

Here’s the voicemail that was left on my office phone today: click HERE to listen.

*I’ve got my suspicions on who the mystery caller is. And I’m working to get him fired right now.

UPDATE

Estavon Williams left another voicemail today. Looks like I may be out of a job now.

Click HERE to listen to the second voicemail.

Sometimes I’m a little slow. Esteban is joking, right?
- Ben Reed
  
  Have you never gotten a call from a potential group leader like Esteban?!?
  - Will Johnston
    
    Nah, typically they’re not as up-front. The crazy comes out after they’ve gotten into leadership. Plus, I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone overtly threaten to get me fired.
    
    Although I can say that both group leaders and staff would probably identify me as a troublemaker 🙂

Okay, I can only assume this is a prank… and, as such, I think it’s hilarious. Just sayin’. I chuckled.
- Ben Reed
  
  I did, too, Noel…did you listen to the second one?

.wav? really? I couldn’t listen.
- Ben Reed
  
  It’s a .wav file, but you should be able to open it using QuickTime. Try that. It’s worth the effort. Trust me.

this is hilarious. I can’t decide if that guy sounds more like Jerry Jones or Billy Bob Thornton in Slingblade.
- Ben Reed
  
  Ha! It would be awesome if either of those guys decided to be a small group leader!
Renee Garcia

Troublemaker! 😉

  I know!

Dear Pas. Ben,

We listened to the voice mail messages he has left and we felt sorry for him.

This man really needs God’s grace and mercy. We hope and pray that God will bring him back to his senses.

We also pray that the Holy Spirit will help you and Pas. Ron while handling this issue.

One humble question though. I think blogging about this will make the situation worse. What’s your idea?
- Ben Reed
  
  Yohan and Shery,
  Sorry for the confusion. It was a prank. I knew who it was the moment I heard the voice…he’s a big jokester!
  - Yohan & Shery Perera
    
    Oh man… I am glad it’s only a prank…
