| Posted 5/28/2003 11:08 AM (GMT -6) |   | Hi All,
This thread relates to something that was posted on Shell's thread on forgiveness. A college friend of mine was engaged to a guy who worked as a manager at the college cafeteria until he graduated, and a girl I was acquainted with who worked with him said that he occasionally sexually harassed her. Now this girl was of a somewhat questionable character so I don't know if I could trust what she was saying, especially since stuff like that kind be misinterpreted and blown out of proportion.
Should I have told the guy's financee what this girl said to me? I never did, but I always wondered if I should have, so that she'd be fully informed before marrying this guy. But, I was afraid that the accusation was untrue, and that she would be worried over nothing.
I've since lost touch with all of these people, but I've always wondered if I did the right thing. What would you have done in my place?

It doesn't sound like you really had sufficient evidence to tell your friend. It also doesn't sound like there would ever be any way to prove such an allegation. The cafeteria worker girl may truly have believed she was harrassed (and she may in fact have been), but there does not seem to be a way to know this. Sounds to me like you did the best thing you could.

| Posted 5/28/2003 5:49 PM (GMT -6) | | Hey, Tigress. I agree with John Earp's response.
I was thinking "How would Tigress feel if he found out that this couple ended up divorcing?" I really hope and caution you NOT get caught into the web of second guessing how you responded in that situation.
I agree with you, Tigress, that your question does fit with Shell's forgiveness thread. We not only have to forgive others but we also must forgive ourselves to maintain peace of mind. In this case I don't think you have to forgive yourself for anything but if you feel guilty than just give yourself some slack (forgiveness and patience)
And remember THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER. Bring your concerns to the foot of the cross and lay them there. Even IF we don't do what we wish we had we can rest assured that God can nevertheless work if we ask Him to.
Blessings,
trosie
