We heard new light this evening. A local needs talk was given about how ANYONE that knows someone might be dating a non- Witness and doesn't REPORT it to the elders is actually hindering the free flow of Jehovah's holy spirit. Yes, if the "SIN" goes unreported, the whole congregation will be affected, just as in the case of Achan and his family!

My, my, my. It sure doesn't take much to hinder the flow of that magical elixer, "holy spirit" now, does it!

It's only a matter of time before they start dragging brothers and sisters out of the Kingdom Hall into the car park and pelting them with stones for misdemeanours like this. I know my dad would love to lead the throwing!

Actually, a broad policy has been in force for quite some time that covers this and other similar situations.
A watchtower article about reporting sin was covered years ago they basically said if any baptized witness does not report anything that might bring reproach on Jehovah or his organisation, or knows of someone sinning and dosen't report it.....they are guilty themselves.
This could cover any number of things. Some might report the case mentioned....others may not. However.......if reported....it would be investigated.
So someone is dating a non-dubite in your congregation eh? I'll bet the worldly person is a bad person.
