Held up at gunpoint, a store clerk invoked her faith to turn the desperate thief into a repentant gunman.

When a man tried to rob a MetroPCS cell phone store at gunpoint in Pompano Beach, Fla., store manager Nayara Goncalves, 20, calmly talked to the man about Jesus and her faith until he left without taking any money.

Goncalves said she doesn't know why she began to talk to him about Jesus.

"I believe it was the Holy Spirit of God that really made me want to tell him about Jesus," Goncalves told ABCNews.com.

"I realized what had just happened, what could have happened if God wasn't here with me," she said.

Hahha, what exactly COULD have happened? Got shot with a BB? Probably not even, if it wasn't even a real gun I doubt he bothered getting bullets for it...

It has nothing to do with faith. She kept calm, That's It

Ohhhhhhh leave her alone and just laugh about the fact that it worked. Please don't turn this into another "religion sucks" thread... I'm tired of reading them on thehelper.net under news stories that involve religious eccentrics. We get it, you define your world differently.

Listen to the recording, it's actually kind of sad. =(

The fact that he went somewhere else to rob meant that her "faith" didn't do anything.

Of course, something like this would come from Florida. And Miami at that!

And she kept calm due to her faith. I don't really see your point there.

It is an obvious sign that faith can help you help yourself. I don't believe that being faithful alone will save you or anything. You have to live your faith, which will have positive impact on the way you treat yourself and others. Just going to church every sunday and praying five pater nosters will help you *****.
Just my 5ct...

Maybe some good will come of this event yet. I know I myself, have realised something to be true, yet still gone against it initially, only later to reform and behave better. This could easily happen with this guy, so there is no justification for saying her faith did nothing in this case, just because he went to another place to steal.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
