stopping church gossip

Published Oct. 10, 2008

All of you who attend church know there's alway a church gossip group and things can spread like wildfire.  Here's a story about how one guy stopped it dead in it's tracks.

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon..

She emphatically told Frank (and several others)
that everyone seeing it there WOULD KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING!

Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a
moment and just turned and walked away.
He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing.

Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house...walked home....and left it there all night!!!

"Getting even is better than anything!"

I beg to differ, getting even is good but getting ahead is better.

I think that I know Frank in real life, I bet everyone knows someone like Frank. I gotta admit, light on words and heavy on action.

Getting even is better than anything!

my sister came to stay with me for a while, a lady in the neighborhood spread that i was living with a woman. don't ya just love a gossip

My grandmother's name isn't Mildred LOL My grandmother is always concerned about what her friends will think and wouldn't let me park my car in her driveway because it had political bumper stickers on it she didn't agree with. It was clear that this beat up sports car was NOT something a 70 yr old woman would drive but she made me park in back anyhow- someone from church might drive by and see it.

Hello Mrs Johnson you self righteous woman Sunday School teacher what brings you out slummin' Do you reckon the preacher would approve where you are Standing here visitin' with a back slidin' Christian in a neighborhood bar Well yes that's my bottle and yes that's my glass And I see you're eye ballin' this pretty young lass It ain't none of your business but yes she's with me And we don't need no sermon you self righteous woman just let us be The Lord knows I'm drinking and running around And he don't need your loud mouth informing the town The Lord knows I'm sinning and sinning ain't right But me and the good Lord gonna have us a good talk later tonight Goodbye Mrs. Johnson you self righteous biddy I don't need your preachin' and I don't need your pity So go back to whatever you hypocrites do And when I talk to heaven be nice and I'll put in a good word for you The Lord knows I'm drinking...

LOL !!!

I like Franks way of thinking! Lol

Frank's my kinda guy !!

So, what would happen if the pew warmers were parked in front of a prosecuting judge, and they were the defendants?
