When's the last time you got wind that someone close had spoken ill of you?
What has been your approach in the past?
What are some good practices you've discovered?
Is it best to go to them and discuss, to ask if they indeed said this or
that, OR is it best to ignore it?

Well as a matter of fact, it was today. Today i recieved a text indicating some information that CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.
The odd thing is i had just spoken to this friend too. Funny how he Never mentioned ... come to think of it, he has NEVER shared this tidbit with me.
I guess i'm wondering how i should handle it. I've already decided to let it go. If my friend wants to share with me what he shared to the friend who texted me, well then he will.
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?
I think that I would go to the person who said these things and ask them if they really said it. In our society today, many people start rumors just so they can get more attention. But if your trusted friend really did say something about you that is wrong then you need to sit down and talk to them ans discuus what happened in a good manner.

Frodo here,
I learned a long time ago and have taught this to my boys. If someone talks about you behind your back first thing you got to ask is why do you think they are and is the reason valid. Then I learned to take it to God because he is in charge. Unless you are destroying your witness, it should not matter what people are saying behind your back. scripture says love your enemy. speak to them just as if it had never happened. in the long run your able to bless that person by showing how Christ would handle the situation. My oldest boy is having a situation of a fellow classmate making fun of him. I told him just to smile and like him anyway cause thats what God wants us to do be Christlike in everything you do Cause God is always watching you to see how you are going to respond.
This is how I see it, if someone is talking about you behind your back then they are jealous of you. If this person can not say it to your face then they are YELLOW and should just shut up and stop stirring the pot.
After further review, i've been in the bible studying for EGOPROOF, and i've discovered that if someone has spoken ill of me, that's okay.
i'm more concerned if i did something wrong than if someone says i did. if i did, then please tell me so i can correct it.
to imitate Christ, i need to be more focused on what he says about me to THE FATHER, than what others say about me when i'm not around.
