Like there is a woman in town and our sons were friends, Until the other one took my sons girlfriend.Then she got pregnant and we didn't know if it was grand baby or her grandbaby. Well it turns out to be hers. That is fine but I am still friends with the girl.She even brings the baby out sometime to see us.I would never be bad to the child because it is the woman's grand.I always treat it just as mine own.- But this woman has been talking about me and telling STRAIGHT LIES about me for about 2 years now.And her talk has started more gossip and lies all over town. Now people think bad of me and they all be talking behind my back. Now keep in mind that all the things that this woman starts about me are MADE UP LIES...I think that I need to get a Lawyer and let him handle it publicly so the town will know that she is not the Christian that she claims to be. Because Christians don't treat people like she does and my name is a household word at her house.I have never confrounted the woman.

If its true, it isn't slander. But if it isn't true as you say, then line up your witnesses to testify that you have been slandered and get yourself a lawyer. Once you get the slanderer's home, car and bank account, your reputation will be made whole again. Most lawyers will take your case on a percentage basis.

Yes, you are correct on a few things. One, she is no Christian if that is taking place. Why haven't you confronted her? I'd call her and say, "I have heard you are saying this and this about me, why would you tell such lies?" (Ask not in an angry tone) If she denies it, say, ok well if it is true that you are, know that I will enlist an attorney. Two, you should get an attorney if it continues and have that person write her a letter saying that if she does not "cease and desist" that you will take her to court. Three, contact her pastor and set up a meeting. Let that person know what is happening, bring the girlfriend with the baby along (and anyone else) as your witness. Ask the pastor to deal with her or it will go to court.
And finally, small towns are lousy, people seem to have nothing better to do but gossip. Best to hold your head up high, smile, and know that you are innocent. Don't look guilty if you aren't. Let people know you know who you are and you are proud of the fact that you don't behave badly no matter what anyone says.

Ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?" What did He do when people trashed His name? He told us to rejoice when people slandered us as we are in good company. They did the same thing to Him and what did He do? Never opened His mouth. If the things were true that the woman was saying, people know it. And if the things said are not really true, those that really matter will know that also and will see her for what she is and is trying to do. If you feel the need to get a lawyer to sue her for slander, I would go forward with great caution and prayer as it could just make things worse and turn more against you as they will think it must be true since you went to a lawyer. I would be very careful with whatever it is that you do and do it in prayer and ask for God's leading.

Do what I do- and , yes I do do this- casually find out who all her friends are, where they like to be, what they like to do. Schmooze yourself into the "group", this may take time, be their best friend, get all the dirt on her and find little ways to turn it against her. when someone messes with you, don't just screw up their day, ruin their life for years to come and do it in a way that you don't catch the blame. It can take a while, but everyone has a skeleton in their closet somewhere. Revenge is sweet.

you need to leave your house with your head held HIGH and just live life as if nothing happened... She will have her day even if you aren't there to see it... her time will come, what goes around comes around.. ALWAYS...
