How I Dealt With A Church Gossip! by 2tait: 12:36pm On Apr 16, 2009
Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose in the other members' private lives. Church members were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused me, (then a new member) of being an alcoholic after she saw my car parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon.

She commented to me and others that everyone seeing it there would know what I was doing.

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

Later that evening, I quietly parked my car in front of Mildred's house, and left it there all night!

@ I - fy


analogous to parking the car in front of the bar, parking the car in front of mildred's house implied that I spent the night in her house ( read I slept with her). Mildred was tongue-tied. she stopped gossiping

All of you in the Church are gossips. You claimed that you're a new member yet you've known much about the members - those that gossip, those that listen to gossip, those that fear ordinary human being, etc.

Parking your car in front of her house will do her no harm, except she has been doing that with other members of your church.

To conclude it, you've nurtured so much evil in you, that's why you've such thought. BUT sorry, you've debased yourself before other members of the church. ALL the ladies be CAREFUL of 2tait.

@ I-fy

No vex. Take it easy.

Things are not exactly what they seem to be.
Mildred wrongly assumed that parking my car in front of the bar meant I was at the bar and indulging in alcohol consumption and other related vices contrary to the church's doctrine (?). This may not be true, in the sense that any other thing could have been the reason why my car was parked there.

Using her line of thought, I parked my car in front of her house to let her know that even though my car was parked in front of her house I was not in her house. This realisation made her understand that not all that glitters is gold. That things are not exactly what they seem to be- always. I did not debase myself, it was just my way of passing a message to a fellow church member. I can assure you, the method was effective. Mildred got the message.
