Woman accosted after church
for saying things she didnt’t
DEAR ABBY: A friend,
“Marie,” approached me in
the parking lot after church,
raising her voice, flailing
her arms and saying three
people had told her that I
told them to stay away
from her and her husband. I
told Marie it wasn’t true,
and she and her husband
were my friends. She reit
erated that three people
said it, shaking her hand
and holding up three fin
gers in my face.
When I asked who they
were, she wouldn’t tell me.
I asked her if she would get
the three people together at
her house because I would
like to talk to them in per
son - she said no to that
request, too. I then stated
that we were standing on
hallowed ground in the
church parking lot, and I
was telling her the truth.
Again, she insisted she
heard differendy from three
people.
I was very upset to be
accused of a total lie and at
Marie’s refusal to believe
me. When I suggested we
go inside the church and I
would put my hands on
Jesus’ feet and swear I
never said anything about
her and her husband, she
said she didn’t have time.
After I came home from
church, I sent a text to the
only two friends I had spo
ken to recently and asked
them if I had said anything
to them about Marie and
her husband. Both replied
no. I sent a copy of both
texts to Marie so she could
read them for herself. I
thought it would be another
way of showing I am not
guilty.
How on Earth can I
prove I am not guilty if
Marie won’t let me talk to
the three supposed people
or swear on Jesus’ feet that
I’m not guilty? What
should I do? - ACCUSED
IN IDAHO
DEAR ACCUSED:
Because this unhappy sce
nario happened on church
property, consider discuss
ing it with your religious
adviser. Marie’s actions
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
were over the top. Could
she have emotional prob
lems you aren’t aware of?
If members of the congre
gation are really carrying
nasty and disruptive tales
after church as she has
asserted, your preacher
may want to deliver a ser
mon soon about “bearing
false witness." You have
my sympathy.
DEAR ABBY: For many
years, my wife and I have
donated items to charitable
agencies. I have been a
blood donor for many
years. Sometimes, I get a
“thank-you" item, such as a
T-shirt with words on it
indicating that I donated.
I’m not comfortable
donating a shirt with such a
message. The person who
receives it might not be a
blood donor. While wear
ing it, the person might be
thanked by someone who
sees the shirt. That person
wouldn’t have the right to
“steal the glory” and puff
out his chest. It’s a shame
to trash a shirt. Do you
have a suggestion as to
what I might do with such
an item? - DONATING IN
FLORIDA
DEAR DONATING:
Because of your concerns
about stolen glory, consider
using the T-shirt(s) for
house cleaning. However,
if you cannot bring your
self to do that, donate the
item to a homeless shelter
and consider it publicizing
a worthy cause that needs
more attention.
