Email to Quotes: TATTLE TAIL!

Quotes

This week I received the following email:

====================
I have been a Jehovah's Witness all my life and was excited to move up
to New York. (close to Watchtower Farms, but I'm in Bloomingburg, NY)
One of our brothers has been shockingly non-devout. He, Dan [last name removed],
recently invited my family to have dinner with him and his wife. He
offered to let me use his computer to type a final draft for a college
paper. I saved the document to the hard drive instead of to my disk by
accident and while looking for the document to remove it, I came across
a vast array of pornography, including homosexual pornography, stored on
the computer. I immediately closed the window and tried to pretend for
the rest of the night as though nothing had happened. I didn't want to
hurt brother Dan or cause an uncomfortable tension between him and I,
but I believe he needs some help from the elders.
====================

I thought this was pretty funny. I have *NOT* replied, and probably won't bother. If I did, it would be too hard for me to *NOT* say this:

(1) How stupid is this person? What part of "not affiliated with WTS" (in big red letters on every page!!!) don't they understand? Why did they send their email to me?

(2) SSSSUUUUURRRRREEEEEEE you were looking on his hard drive "by accident". SSSSSSUUUUUUURRRRRREEEE you weren't deliberately spying. SSSSSUUUUURRRRREEEEE you "accidentally" found "a vast array of pornography" -- I guess you continued to "accidentally" search the hard drive after you found the first porno picture, right? And continued after you found the 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th; continued your "accidental" search of the hard drive until you had determined there was a "vast array". Reminds me of the joke about the murder suspect that "accidentally shot his wife" twenty-three times with a gun that only holds eight rounds. SSSSSSUUUUUUUURRRRREEEEEEEEE it was an accident.

(3) If you feel you must tattle, why not tattle to your local elders -- you know, the very same ones you feel should help him? Why send an email to someone you don't even know?

It sounds to me like brother Dan was kind of stupid for letting someone use his personal account that contained gay porn. That's what passwords and guest accounts are for.

Either that or he was trying to send a hint...

He/she hasnt got the guts (or enough real concern for Bro. Dan , to do that} but they feel better having told somebody. They hope you will do the deed for them. Sad person..

How pathetic!

So why doesn't he go to that brother and confront him directly. That is what Jesus said was the first step when he said something about laying bare his faults. But then, maybe this guy is homophobic and doesn't want to see any more bare faults. LOL!

Point of clarification:

I *THINK* the gender of the email sender is female. Their first name (according to their email address display name) is "Kesha" which, I think (but correct me if I'm wrong) is a female name.

Sorry, I should have pointed that out before.

sonnyboy

I *THINK* the gender of the email sender is female.

Then he was just dumb. Anyone with personal information on their computer should never let people use their accounts.

That aside, the woman needs to seek help. Why is Dan's personal life anyone's business? It sounds to me like she was gossiping, which is also a no-no.

At least you've got interesting stuff to read!

Now quotes, you get busy and get that judicial committee formed, and get this guy df'd immediately. You apparently have that power dont you? Actually, I think you should write back to this person and see what you can do to open her eyes up about the ~~truth~~ lie.

Well, "Kesha" is in college, so she can't be too damn spiritual herself....

Hmmm, you could give her a scare, Quotes, and threaten to turn over her email as well as your thoughts on how she determined that poor Dan has a "vast array" of porn on his PC to the real Borg Tower.

Naughty, naughty! Sister Snoop should have closed her eyes and gotten off the 'puter after finding the first porn pic. She prolly got quite the illicit little thrill from both checking out the nasty porn and going thru her friend's personal stuff. Bet she checks out people's medicine cabinets too. Guess tattling and getting others in trouble makes it okay to be a sneaky coward..
