As a matter of fact... you need to put some of that in a new thread and make it a sticky that all members have to read... Because nearly EVERY THREAD on this forum has a lot of that going on in it.
And, yeah, I know... nobody's perfect! But in the time that I've been on the AFF, I'm coming to the conclusion that that is the primary focus of this forum.
If people sat around and did in person what is being done on here, it could be called nothing more than simply 'gossip'... some of it is definitely 'lying' (I think we could reference the Bishop Jakes story here)...
Oh, I know... there'll be someone who'll say, "If you don't like it, get off!" That's what my mother would have told me if she caught me listening to stuff like this when I was growing up. So... maybe I will... because whether you have a 'holier than thou' attitude, or are tearing up those who have a 'holier than thou' attitude... I find the odor is about the same... and God probably does too!

There's an old saying...I don't repeat Gossip so listen carefully. lol, Truth is humans can't keep a secret. If they know something about someone else, they will tell it or die. People want to be first with information to feed their ego, "I know something you don't know".
I have witnessed it first hand and can tell you it's straight out of hell. When people assume, jump to conclusions, accuse, this creates a false witness against their brother. This is a sin.
