    Not always that easy minimus....as I learned on this thread I started, if you don't mind me linking to it. Was surprised to learn that elders have held all-night stakeouts...creepy.

    I read your thread, unshackled.

    I don't know why there was a flip flop if they ever actually needed 2 witnesses. Once again, they don't need 2 witnesses to establish a matter and that's pretty simple and obvious.

    It does seem to vary from congregation to congregation, or the personalities of the elders involved. Some do the stakeouts, some take them at their word as they eventually did in my case.

    Your point is valid. The 2 witness rule is somehow flexible for scriptural divorce but not for abuse accusations? Double standard indeed.

    Yes, it is a double standard. And that divorce policy is right out of the WT.
