Rumors and their mongers - Robert E Fahey - December 18, 1978

Robert E Fahey

Talk about rumor is usually too simplistic. Communication people know that rumor can be a good sign because it show's interest. Somebody cares about the person being discussed. His actions are important and significant. People talk about what is of interest to them. We have given our lives to this Work. We are concerned about every facet of its operations. We care about the triumphs and the troubles. We discuss them both. We want to know particularly about the leadership - what they are doing, thinking, planning or even dreading. Because those activities will affect the Work and us. We do not discuss what is of no interest to us. If our hearts (and treasure) are in the Work, we will surely talk about it. And so we should. The problem, of course, is how we talk about it. As Herbert Armstrong has said about everything from shotguns to sex, it is not the thing, but the misuse of the thing, that is wrong. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
