"Under the part "To Resist Harmful Peer Pressure" a little dramatization of a late teenaged guy who is talking to himself about his friend who confided in him of some transgression and then asked him not to tell anyone. So the teenager thinks that he doesn't want to lose his friendship, and how his friend said it wasn't that big of a deal. But.....what his friend did is very questionable and this kind of thing really needs to be brought to the elder's attention.
Finally, he decides to turn his friend in even if it means losing the friendship.
Lesson--turn your friends into the elders and break the confidences of friends"
UHHHHHHHH....okay, let's completely disregard the bible YET AGAIN!!!!!!
NWT - Matt. 18:15-17
15 "Moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two more, in order that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. 17 If he does not listen to them, speak to the congregation
SO, 2 steps SHOULD be taken before you become a dirty disloyal rat and go the elders!
Your FRIEND confides something and the gutless rat you are decides.."no I don' have the balls to say to your face that MAYBE you're doing something that MAYBE a supposed transgression!!"
No, the cowardly kiss-a$$ that I am, will dutifully report this to the "chosen" and "wonderful" elders!!!!
