Tom, I think it is a female thing... I know very few men who do that... In fact I cannot think of any off hand. I don't like it because I don't like answering the questions... I know it is why I shy away from making friends.... so, you think you would shut them down??? Make them stop asking? as a man, think about how you would (or should say it)... I'm asking because I'd like to try responding to people the way a man might.
I'd probably start off nice and say something like "that's far too personal" or "that's my personal business". If it continued or became embarrassing, I might elevate it to something like "you need to mind your own business" or more rude, "I'll send you a telegram if I want you to know."![]()

Welcome back YvieAnd you as well my dear sister Gail. Where's Dave? Hi Connie and Tom. Speaking of sharing personal things....it is common for us as Christians to be tempted to gossip under the pretense of asking specifics for prayer. When I was diagnosed with depression, I didn't attend church for months for ffear that someone would ask me was I had wrong with me. Some people are insistent even when you say "it's personal" but most will back off with that phrase.
I finally managed to face my fears and led the morning worship service with Alan this past Sunday. I simple said (from the pulpit) that I appreciate their continued prayers for a personal illness and the recovery is ongoing...no one pushed for more. It's good to be back in the house of the Lord with the family of God.
Have a blessed day folks!
Yes Emmliy, I have been away since early April...it's good to be back. Welcome to our group.![]()
