Lowe's Accused Of Firing Woman Over Xmas Pin

This IS a shadow of things to come, no matter how you choose to deem it. Ms. Sutton's circumstances are not the issue, but the message the pin exudes is. As believers in Christ, we should boycott Lowe's until they reverse their policy. Yet, this incident isn't isolated, but spreading across our land. It's always been about Christ (Yeshua ha'Mashiach), day in, day out, and ever will be. The time will come when uttering Yeshua's name will be a criminal offense in America. Where will you stand?

"For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this generation, sinful and adulterous, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." Mk 8:38

Cocke County, Tenn. (CBS) ―

Kristie Sutton, a former Lowe's Home Improvement store employee in Cocke County, Tenn., says she was fired for wearing a Christmas pin to work.

Kristie Sutton, a former Lowe's Home Improvement store employee in Cocke County, Tennessee near Knoxville says the problem started all because of a pin she wore to work.

The pin says "It's called Christmas, for Christ's sake".

When Sutton admired the pin being worn by a customer, the stranger gave it to her. Neither knew its message would mean trouble for the cashier.

When a customer complained, the employee was asked to remove the pin due to store policy that no employee should wear a pin supporting a religion.

Sutton says when she returned from lunch that day, she was fired.

Sutton admits she was already looking for another job and had planned to put in a two weeks' notice after Christmas. But she says she's upset about missing her holiday pay.

Lowe's released a statement reading "Personnel matters are confidential, so we're unable to share any information; however, Lowe's follows all federal, state and local laws governing employment including laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of religion."

Lowe's also says its employees may wish customers Merry Christmas, if they like.
