well, I am not sure that is a matter of what is being said, but that this person has a very strong personality, and every one is afraid of saying anything to her. She is also involved into politics, and I believe she has mre power that she apears.
I was called as a R.Soc. president, and had to deal with her negativity on a dayly basis. Has to save women member of the ward from getting involved into her gossip.
One day, she started asking for food donations inside the chapel on a sunday. I asked wat for, and all I got was, "It's just for an activity we are having".
For 4 weeks she asked over and over for the donations....no one responded. I finally said to her as she interrupted her husband who was trying to give a talk during Sacrament meeting..."I am sorry,I forgot" She got offended, and since then she has just made my life in the branch very chalenging. (I found out 2 days later, that she wanted the food donations, so that she could help the town's mayor with treats for the kids for 3 kings day.)
She is also the mother of the Stake president in my Stake...Big thing going on, now...
