I'm not saying mormons ever gossip, so this may be OT...

You left your headband at the gym. I'll drop it by on my way to Costco.

Relief society is so-named because it provides a relief valve for the gossip urge. Otherwise, TBM heads would explode.

Why is gossiping bad but networking good? I don't see the difference.

Personally, though, just to be safe---- I only "network".

callings. He was a clerk a few times. He'd come home from bishopric meetings and he'd tell my mom that he hated those meetings because all the men did was gossip about people. He said it is waste of my time. He liked locking up the church at night (he always left for the farm at that time of night for some reason anyway).

My VT and friend I only allowed her to have my unlisted phone number. Her husband was a clerk and he told her "Colleen" must not be hibernating anymore (after the husband left) as the bishop saw her out walking after dark the other night and brought it up in bishopric meeting. He said the bishop wondered if he would ask his wife for my phone number and she said ABSOLUTELY NOT. She said I'm sure the reason she was walking at night is because you men in bishopric would talk about her.

I like to think of it as "sharing our opinions about other peoples life choices." See? It's all in the wording.

Besides. Knowledge is power!

If you rat someone out to the bishop, it isn't gossip.

Also, if you tell enough people, it's a Public Service Announcement.

By far men gossip more than women.

Sat thru endless ward councils and bishopric meetings.
