If they lie all the time, I will at least KNOW they're lying! It's the ones who tell a good one every now and then that keep me puzzled!

There's nothing I despise more than someone who lies!

When you are use to someone telling you lies..you never want to believe any thing that they say.

Even if it is the truth.

I remember a lie (stretch) that I told when I was in High School.

I was with a group of cool kids and a few were telling that that were officers of their High School class. To keep up, I told them I was VP of my class!

Actually, It wasn't a complete lie because I was indeed voted VP of my Vocation class! I just misled them to believe it was something else.

It started as a joke, but the next thing I know it's all over that I'm VP of my HS Senior class! I couldn't reign it in, so I let it flow!

Very true. I know some that if they said that fire was hot, I'd have to check it out for myself!

Children learn what they live with.

Character issues are seldom "cured" by one laying on of hands.

Even if spirits are involved, they can be cast out, and the way they have bent the will and thinking of the individual they possessed still has to be changed by commitment to spiritual disciplines and renewing of the mind.

I heard a person ask her niece if she got in her purse.
The niece told her NO. Then the aunt asked her "are you sure"
The niece said NO again. So then the Aunt asked her if she got in it by accident?

Now here was a girl that was telling a lie, the Aunt knew she was. But she was trying to giving her an excuse, which was a lie too.

But the sad part this aunt is well known for being a liar too!
So I would say learned behavior can make a WHOLE family nothing but liars.

So tell me this: How do you break this!

Any one here have any suggestions on how to deal with this!!!

There isn't anything you can do with habitual liars. But I would stay away from them as they can be dangerous. Pray for that person though
