Poison In The Church
What?? What did you say?? You are saying when you talk about someone and they walk into the room and if you are able to continue talking about them, in front of this person, it is okay to do so - then it is not gossip... I see by your age you are a good old girl - one of Winnemucca's finest - your harm does not better someone's life but makes it lie stinking in the dirt - May this thinking continue to bite you, and the ones who follow you, in the arse.
I Timothy 5:13 ESV
Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.
