How To Stop Church Gossip

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.

(You gotta love Frank!)

Is that a Washington state sign?

[Paul & Sharon]

It sure could be - except that I did not take it. So I do not really know where the sign is. I like it though!

I sold a truck to a single neighbor lady and the rumors started that my wife kicked me out and I was shacked up with her. True Story.

OK! So was that good or bad?

[Darwin Maring]

It was really funny for us and the she neighbor and imbarrising for the idiot that spread the rumor.

Before reading the thread, my first answer was to just stay out of the church.
