Dear Pastor,

I have a neighbour who is 25 years old. She has been my neighbour for the past six months. I don't even know where to start. She's the type of girl who pleases men for money and it doesn't take much. She does this anywhere she goes. She doesn't work because she thinks getting income this way is faster. She parties a lot because this is how she meets the men. She has a boyfriend who is younger and very abusive. He doesn't love her because he has another girlfriend who he loves and she knows about. She is the one who is taking care of this abuser. It doesn't matter how many times we tell her to leave him and get a proper job before something really bad happens to her, she doesn't listen.

Abusive

This girl has had the worst experiences with relationships. All of them have been abusive. Now she is easily threatened by the intelligence of other women especially when her man is communicating with them. The women could be her friends and she suddenly dislikes them and thinks they want to steal her man. She's a person who got raped by her former boyfriend. She aborted three children and she has a bad infection. She got a job and went only a day.

Pastor, please give me some advice to give her.

Dear N. B.,

How do you know these things? You claim that you have been her neighbour for six months. Did this woman tell you all these things about herself?

You know what I am going to tell you. If you are speaking the truth, mind your own business.

Pastor
