Your comparison is not legitimate. The Bible says to “speak the truth in love” and we, as Christians, are exhorted to go out into the world and preach the Gospel of Christ. My brother got angry at me about 20 years ago for talking about Jesus and wanted me to promise I’d never bring it up. I told him that was impossible, as it was my duty to bring it up and I’m going to obey God. I try to be loving.

Telling people they are a fat slob is not speaking the truth in love. However, there are times when one is showing love by telling someone they have a bad odor, or even that they need to lose weight (as I just did to my hubby last night).

Ann might have been more loving though. I didn’t hear how she said it so can’t comment.

Ann was just fine. It's the ones screaming against her who are the haters.
