Bad example

Quote From: jwkellar

I  have heard men fall in love with their eyes and  women fall in love with their ears. Who cares if Joan tells a white lie to get what she wants. I  don't look at  this as dishonest. I have and do the same. As soon as contact is made, I do tell the truth though. She can then decide if she wants to go further. No big deal!

What a bad example we adults set whenEVER we lie. How do we teach our children that it's important to tell the truth when we decide for ourselves when we think it's OK to lie. Boy, imagine our children getting caught in a lie and then telling us that it was just a little lie and/or you lie, too, Mommy.  

  

All lies are wrong. All lies are ugly. Once we start lying, we often have to lie to cover up the first (or second, or third) lie. When does it stop? 

  

Deceiving someone is mean, unfair, unholy and can cause damage. As the old saying goes, "The truth will set you free." Also, if anyone claims to be a Christian, s/he should know just where Jesus stands on this issue (WWJD). I prefer to be honest. If someone really likes this women, he won't give a flip about a number!!! Too bad this guest isn't comfortable enough in her own skin to tell the world she's 66 and BEAUTIFUL!!!
