READ: Leviticus 19:11-18
You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people. —Leviticus 19:16
When Shayla McKnight applied for a job for an online printing company, she was surprised to learn that they had a zero-tolerance policy for gossip. The employees are encouraged to confront one another, instead of gossip about their fellow employees. If employees are caught gossiping, they are reprimanded, and if they continue, they are fired.
Long before this kind of policy was ever implemented by a company, God spoke of His own zero-tolerance policy for gossip and slander among His people (Lev. 19:16). Idle talk that foolishly or maliciously spreads rumors or facts about another person was forbidden.
Solomon said that speaking badly of others could have disastrous effects. It betrays confidence (Prov. 11:13), separates close friends (16:28; 17:9), shames and saddles you with a bad reputation (25:9-10), and perpetually fuels the embers of a quarrel (26:20-22). People rarely can undo the damage their untrue words have done to a neighbor.
Let’s ask the Lord to help us not to engage in harmful talk about others. He wants us to set a guard over our mouths so that we’ll instead speak all the good we know about everybody —Marvin Williams
Many things that others sayAre not for us to tell;Help us, Lord, to watch ourtongue—We need to guard it well. —Branon
Destroy gossip by ignoring it.

One in 10 Falsely Accused of Abuse
As a victim of false allegations in a country where a corrupt Court system and pathetic gutless politician's I am disgusted that these creeps allow false testimony too run rampant in a vile Family Court. Oh yes kiwi taxpayer, you forked out a couple million bucks to help the sinister system break my balls. Police nowadays ask if I have ever got compensation as they were wrong. Yeah right I can never clear my name in this twisted sick country.I have written to John Key and he couldn't give a flying buck about my story. I have faith. Revenge is mine said the Lord.

Child abuse is the commonest false charge — about twice as many people have been falsely accused of child abuse as of domestic violence or sexual assault. In over one quarter of cases, the false allegations were made in a child custody case.
“Each year, millions of innocent Americans are falsely accused of abuse,” explains SAVE spokesman Philip W. Cook. “These false allegations can strip persons of their assets, harm their families, and ruin their lives.”
Because of these widespread injustices, Cook said, SAVE has launched its Campaign 2012, a grassroots effort to reform U.S. domestic violence laws: http://www.saveservices.org/campaign-2012/
False allegations of domestic violence often lead to family break-up, which forces children into single parent households. Such children face a far greater risk of juvenile delinquency, school drop-out, and teenage pregnancy. One analysis concluded such allegations lead to $20 billion a year in increased welfare and public benefit costs: http://www.saveservices.org/downloads/False-Allegations-Harm-Families-and-Children
Although past studies have examined false abuse allegations within specified groups, no national inquiry previously had been made. To this end, SAVE commissioned the national telephone survey, which queried 20,000 households around the country during two rounds in May and September 2011. More information about the survey methods and results can be seen here: http://www.saveservices.org/falsely-accused/survey/

One in 10 Falsely Accused of Abuse: Survey
Washington, DC/October 17, 2011 — One in 10 adults has been falsely accused of domestic violence, child abuse, or sexual assault, according to a survey conducted by Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE). The survey also found a strong disparity between the number of males and females falsely accused: more than three quarters of all false accusations are levied against men. Nearly seven in 10 false accusers are female.
The survey is the first of its kind to be undertaken, and uncovers distressing trends within the American abuse-reduction system.Child abuse is the commonest false charge — about twice as many people have been falsely accused of child abuse as of domestic violence or sexual assault. In over one quarter of cases, the false allegations were made in a child custody case.

Obscene
Dear Peter,
I’ve been known to drop the occasional expletive, but the most offensive F word to me is not the one that goes f***. It’s F***** - the famine happening in the Horn of Africa, mainly Somalia.
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch ONE’s new video “The F Word: Famine is the Real Obscenity” and in doing so sign the petition....
http://act.one.org/go/133?akid=2621.1680571.Ac5D12&t=3
Dear world leaders,
The famine in Somalia could kill 750,000 in the coming months, and tens of thousands have already died. When you meet at the Group of 20 (G-20) Summit in November, you have the opportunity to break the cycle of famine and ensure people are hungry no more. Lives are in your hands. Please keep the promises you have made to the 2 billion poor people who depend on farming for their livelihoods.
The reasons for the famine in the Horn of Africa are complex and solutions are difficult, especially in Somalia, but we can’t lose sight of some simple facts:
1. 30,000 children have died in just 3 months. Thirty thousand. With over 12 million people at risk.
2. Famine is not a natural catastrophe – drought doesn’t have to lead to famine. It can be prevented, as we have seen in much of Kenya and Ethiopia.
In the 21st century, it’s an obscenity that people are dying because they can’t get enough food to eat. Every one of those 30,000 children is part of a family – a son, a daughter, sister or brother. We can’t imagine what it must be like to starve to death, but most of us know what it’s like to lose someone we love.
Please watch the film and make use of the voice you have -- sign the petition. It will make a difference in putting pressure on world leaders to do more to help those in need right now, and live up to promises already made to invest in the things proven to work – early warning systems...irrigation...drought resistant seeds… and of course, peace and security.
Thanks for reading.

Family Court lawyers are filthy scum of the earth!
http://www.investigatemagazine.co.nz/Investigate/?p=1625
“Counsel for Child Lawyers, who receive just three days training in working with children, are not actually responsible for the accuracy of the reports that they deliver to the Court.”
The Family Court is a disgusting environment for all children and it’s little wonder with the carefree attitude shown by highly paid low life lawyers who couldn't give a hoot about the concerns of vulnerable children.It is so sad what damage the vile lawyers do to children and these slim balls should be kept well away from children. These demonic creeps are blood sucking parasitic leeches who brainwash children so they can earn blood money from unnecessary litigation.
Hey C4C lawyer leave that kid alone you filthy C$C lawyer mongrel low life pus ball.Not once in ten years did the children lawyer's Chris Robertson and Adrienne Edwards witness the loving interacting between a distraught dad and his confused alienated daughters. They should be shot.
Specialist Family Court report writers, such as the twisted two faced Family Court Psychologist's like Mike Davidson and John Watson enjoy persecuting the paternal family with heart wrenching delay tactics and illegal skullduggery. The reports they write are nothing more than toilet paper. These are evil scum who deserve a fate worse than death. John Watson went against a direct Family Court judge's order and hounded my mother to death! Fact.F##k you Watson!! What a sinister Court without accountability.Watson should be in prison.
Money grabbing Counsel for Child Lawyers and gender bias Psychologists can put the knife in hard when they invent a pack of lies, so they can feed from all the heartbreak suffered by the overwhelmed father involved in a cauldron of hateful feminist litigation. In my case I had to endure a horrible experience of forced litigation which lasted ten years and cost the New Zealand taxpayer a couple of $million$. All wasted money, but who cares eh. FFS I hate the Family Court!!!
Male clients in the Family Court on the end of false testimony might as well put a gun to their head, because it would be less painful that being a client of the revolting Kangaroo Court of feminist lies.
