Today's pondering...
When seeking Biblical advice from someone about a situation with a mutual acquaintance, how do you [personally] present the situation in a way that avoids the potential for gossip?
I don't think there's necessarily one right answer here so please don't see this as a test or debate. It is merely a sharing of ideas and tips.

Is that an absolute requirement for your question as anything you say could elude to the person you are talking about or you could be considered a gossip yourself?
I would need to know that the person I am talking with isn't a gossip and trustworthy and then name the person by name and specify that I need guidance and that this isn't a gossiping session. I would make it very clear from the outset.
Another approach would be (without that specification) to find someone who has no knowledge of the person I am speaking about so that their input is totally neutral and forgotten about after the conversation.
