Rhonda..when someone lies about ME..It really hurts..but if they are lying to make themselves "Look Better"..I figure it is a self esteem problem of theirs...I have a daughter that does this..I just live with it. (She is in her 40's..no changing her!)
If someone makes plans with you and cancels with some bogus excuse because something better comes up ..that would hurt too. (If you find out!) I would think twice about seeing them again.
I guess if it was a habitual thing..like someone we both know..then I would just roll my eyes and say.."Here we go again!:..
I used to be so naive when I left the JW's that I believed everything people told me...age has proven me wrong. It was a rude awakening!
I also think if the lies hurt someone..that would be more serious!...
I had a girlfriend that ran around on her husband..all the time!.( A JW..).She started using me for a coverup. I finally wised up and told her to stop saying she was with me because I wouldn't back her up!..Thank goodness her husband never checked with me.
We weren't friends too long after that. She got disfellowshipped after her hubby caught her and beat her up! (He was a JW too) Her motto was "Deny, Deny, Deny!..Never admit anything..she was an expert!
And I later disassociated myself..I was disgusted with the JW's. They just didn't make sense to me anymore...
Hugs..Snoozy..aka..Golden Girl...
