Again, thanks for those comments and input. I like the use of the terms "advice" and "suggestion" as to intervene can be just that, it does not mean going into a situation too strong or over physical, so yes at times a more suttle approach could be just as effective and like you said, it depends on the given situation. Take care and have a blessed festive season.

Many thanks for those comments and your views on this matter.  It is always interesting to see how others do perceive different case scenarios, so your input is much appreciated. Yes, it would be wrong to take certain information that one has gained for the sole purpose to gossip etc and prayer is also one of the best options. Take care.

I'd prefer to use "advice" or "suggestion". Then, even if it is "an intervention", it wouldn't be hostile and this may help ease the situation. Then again, it depends on the situation.

I have asked myself this many times. I say if someone's life or physical well being is being tested, yes get involved. Call 911 or whatever you assume to be the right thing. I don't believe in my being the one who is deciding about someone's marital issues and then deciding to gossip to clear it up. If a relative shares with me that they are having an affair I would suggest to them that is wrong, very wrong. But I would not pass along the information to another. I also would not go to them and tell them I heard it and intervene, actually I would pray about those sorts of things.

i strongly believe in interventions.... maybe not as they are televised
 but anyone one person letting someone else know they care.... that is a good thing

Many thanks for your input, which is always appreciated, understanding the points you made and raised.  Regarding the marriage issue, what if it was closer to home? would one feel more compelled to intervene if it was say a sister or brother that was been cheated upon or some other close relative?. Personally if this scenario was to happen in my personal life, I think I would be more compelled morally to intervene in such a case and at least make them aware of the facts etc or maybe I would let the third party know I'm aware of such going ons etc. It's hard to say sometimes what one would do when talking hypothectically. Thanks again for input given. Take care.

YES, I believe that there is a time to intervene... life or death. If you are a witness to a child, woman or man being assaulted, then yes, hell yes, you better intervene, call 911 anything, just do it. But intervening regarding a marriage where someone is cheating well, that's none of your nor my biz, karma or god or time will prevail there. I say only life and death deserves intervention...I myself saw a woman being beaten outside my window years ago, in the wee hours of the morning, I called 911 and ended up going to court to testify against that man...and let me tell you, it was scarier n hell because that man got off and came looking for me! But, I still say ...we cannot look the other way.

Thanks for that input, which I personally agree.  Regarding your point about children running rings around the parent or guardian, I've also witnessed such behavior in public, though on the other side to your view, how much is it the blame of the child or how the parent has allowed them to grow up spoilt or undisciplined at all, in such cases I feel the child may not realise they are doing wrong as they've never been disciplined, and yes on the other hand it may well be an unruly child on the loose.  Your comments were welcomed. Take care.

Speaking for myself...if I witness any abuse in public or otherwise I always say something. Especially if children are involved because they can not defend themselves. Then there are other times when I see a child that needs discipline and runs all over the parent or guardian and nothing gets done...But yes if we see anyone being hurt and do not say something I think the shame is on us for ignoring the situation.
