Well, if you don't know first hand, then you don't know. If you weren't there to personally witness, then you don't know.
If it didn't happen to you, then it is here-say.
If the person is a murderer, rapist, scammer, con-artist, has abused either mentally, physically or is a child molester and there are police records proving what you are to say, then by all means.
However, if it's 3rd party information, then no.
That is gossip and you are not God and have no business taking matters into your own hands.
But that is just my humble opinion. No backfire for stating my opinion, please, Dennis.
If you wanted to be trusted and respected, then you would hold the confidence of your dear friends when they share things with you. I do not want to read anyone's personal information that they gave you by trusting you, do not tell me a thing. No names please, these people have been victims enough and if they shared with you in confidence, they trusted you to keep it there.
Please do your friends a faithful and kind service and please leave it there. I am not interested in gossip. I trust and value your opinion and friendship more than you know and I am sure they did too when they confided in you.
Just offering my opinion, since you asked. Otherwise, honestly, after reading your last few posts, I didn't want to touch this subject with a 10 foot pole!!!!
* Sin is sin. Careful what comes across your lips & out your finger tips!!! * We are all the Body of Christ. Let's treat each other as such, with the same respect we give to HIM!! * Relationship advice: DO NOT make someone a PRIORITY, when they ONLY make you an OPTION!! * A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to seek HIM in order to find her!!

Well, I have had a problem with secrets and feeling left out all my life so, I don't know?? I believe there are times we should NOT talk or spill our guts to everyone but, on the other hand, if I truly believed I could help someone, add to their happiness, etc. I may slip a hint..... Quite some time ago, my best friend was seeing 2 guys at the same time. She decided she had to tell one, she could not see him any more so, she did. He was so crushed, as he truly loved her!! A few weeks later she found out, she made a mistake, she let the wrong one go. He was so sad and approached me asking how she was. I admitted to him, she was feeling a little proud and really regretted her decision to let him go. Well, he contacted her and they have been together ever since. I received the call just LAST week, they are getting married. I was so happy and overjoyed and they STILL bless me up to THIS DAY for "getting them back together.. Don't know about that, I was ONLY being TRUTHFULL. Something to ponder!!!

If the person was an axe murderer, bigomist or rapist, I would probobly say something. If they were already married, yes, I would definately say something.

I've noticed some people who tend to want a herem and others seem to have gold digging tendencies... and I really don 't care enough to say anything. Violent, dangerous situation....definately. Personal junk is not my business..especially if it's hearsay.

I agree with Ginny on this topic.
Just the facts please.
Factual information should be passed along to protect others.
Gossip is certainly not factual now is it?
Also, people need to take responsibility for their own protection and discern the advice from others and question the information passed on as to whether it is factual or not. Just use some common sense. Take your time, ask God to intervene and show you His will.

well if you read the original post, it is in regards to "knowing" something... not speculating

I'd agree with Bob and Ginny - first hand knowledge (not just what someone told you - but behavior you have observed yourself or the individual in question told you him/herself) of something that is harmful, dangerous or immoral and is current behavior, not old past stuff -should be shared. Otherwise no.
Susan aka Red God gives the very best to those who leave the choices to Him. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine...to Him be the glory. Eph 3:20

I would warn if I knew positively that something would be hurtful to another person. What they do with the info is their biz. If its me better dish or I will box your ears!

Anyone who would not warn me that something may turn around and bite me in the ass, I certainly don't want for a friend.

I agree with Sweet HOney, if someone knows something that could prevent me from getting hurt, and they don't tell me, I would find it truly exceptionally hard to consider her/ him as a friend. So, if it was me, I would SPEAK OUT, especially if it is a relative or friend of mine, and I consider most people I meet my friend - unless they say/do something to make me believe it is not worth their, nor my time. Where I would ask you to be careful, is where YOUR INTENTIONS are concerned. Is your intention with SPEAKING OUT pure? Is it motivated by jealousy or some or other unChristianly motive? Jesus said if we use the truth, even if it is the truth, to achieve something evil, then your evil intention is where the error/sin is. You cannot use something good to achieve something evil, nor can you use something evil to achieve something good. God bless!

Lesson learned Dennis, be careful next time you try to help a lady in distress.
