Reply To: Midvar sheker tirchak- never tell a lie

Wow,

I thought I put this thread to rest by not posting on it and now I see comlinx who has been dormant started it up again

You two are confusing me

Lilmod seems to me to be taking my side and comlinx her side, I actually stopped posting here because it was bothering Lilmod with all the lashon hara/motzei shem ra

We’re coming up to the yom im neraim so it shouldn’t really matter anymore

1) If you feel something is a lie ask yourself is it worth it vi? a vi? lashon hara

So mechiras Yosef is justified, but Yaakov will be distressed to

hear of it, so misleading him is justified in order to spare him.

This doesn’t mean that if you do something actually wrong, it’s okay

to lie about it because hearing about it will distress the other person.

What do you say to that, Coffee

They didn’t lie

I’m so confused, partially because I don’t log in on my computer and can’t see a whole comment at once
