"Integrity versus Situational-Ethics!" Warriors for Life (WFL) Healing Through Faith — 8 Oct 2019!
https://www.victoryforveterans.org/blog/integrity-versus-situational-ethics-warriors-for-life-wfl-healing-through-faith-8-oct-2019
Join Veteran SGT Steve McFarland Tuesday, 8 October 2019 for Warriors for Life (WFL) Virtual Group Support "Healing through Faith!"
We are going to pause our march through the book of Daniel and consider Integrity versus Situational-Ethics. They are, by definition, antithetical to each other, because Integrity requires that we do the right thing all the time, while situational-ethics allows for doing what is expedient in each situation. Situational-ethics doesn't acknowledge any higher-authority, so our question is "Are they mutually-exclusive?"
“Integrity, a standard of personal morality and ethics, is not relative to the situation you happen to find yourself in and doesn’t sell out to expediency. Its short supply is getting shorter – but without it, leadership is a facade.”
— Denis Waitley
Theologians and philosophers have been debating this topic for centuries, but being neither a theologian nor a philosopher, we are going to look at it from a Biblical perspective. Two particular questions come to my mind; 1) Is it ever okay to lie?, and 2) Is it ever okay to break the rules?
Who, in the Old Testament, told a WHOPPER of a lie, and is mentioned in a New Testament "Hall of Fame"?
Who, in the New Testament, frequently thumbed his nose at the "establishment" and double-dog-dared them to do something about it?
The answers may surprise you, and help us build an ethical-framework for living our lives today with integrity.
Tuesday's Topic: "Integrity versus Situational-Ethics!"

Thank you, my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs for making us aware that the Tuesday, October 8, 2019 Warriors for Life (WFL) Healing Through Faith will be hosted by our friend SGT Steve McFarland on the topic "Integrity versus Situational-Ethics!"
Having a strong integrity can get you into hot water and yet it is the best approach to life IMHO.
Thank you, my friends Lt Col Charlie Brown, Maj Marty Hogan and Maj Marty Hogan for mentioning me.

I had a boss once who ask me to lie to his boss. I asked him if he would fire me if I lied to him. He responded Yes, but then told me he would fire me for not following his direction. SGT Steve McFarland

SCPO Morris Ramsey I had a boss who wanted me to steal FOR him, but he would have been pissed if I stole FROM him. He was a slimeball, and it was almost a relief when he fired me.

Sounds interesting! I am one for ethics that exist in concrete realities.
