thought is WTF, if you were truly serving god you'd be doing it for free. You're trimming my trees for $$$$, so get over your god propaganda thing about trimming my trees.

There's a problem with their whole business model.
An insurance company near my house used to have a sign that read "If you pray, why worry?"
I would follow up to anyone who would listen with "if you don't worry, why buy insurance?"

(67,109 posts)marks. Although, this company has a good reputation ... This is a whole new thing with them, injecting god into everything. To me, religion, politics and social agendas should not be part of a business if one wants a broad base of customers. I just want my trees trimmed/cut, I'm not looking for a religious experience. I've been using this company for about 10 years, this is a whole new thing and was a WTF for me.
