Gossip....how did you know that!?

[ryo dokomi]

i have come across many things in my life as a christian. the one that is nearly the most desterbing is how much gossip i find in the church. someone tells someone a problem, asks for prayer, and suddenly the whole church is comming up to them saying their oppinions on the subject. how far do we as christians go, how far can we go and not make it pointless, "did you hear... so and so is ......"
"oh, really?"
"yeah. oh, and you should probably pray for him for it."


i find this to be rediculous and just plain rude, inconsiderate, and something that needs to be changed.

agian, my question is how far can we go without gossipping. ((for i fear i may do the same things, no matter how much i despise it))

Well, you don't need to specify what the prayer is desired for specifically. You can be as general as you want and God'll know the need to be met. I feel bad for "him".
