"there is no public basis for establishing that fraud has been committed".

Subject: Financial matters affecting the XXX
In response to your letter of January 3, 2017, addressed to the Branch Committee, write to us on the 9th of that month, which indicated that the next visit of the circuit superintendent would discuss the issues you raised . After his visit and the meeting with all those involved. The circuit superintendent has sent us his conclusions. Based on these we are pleased to offer you the following comments.
The brothers indicate that "there is no public basis for establishing that fraud has been committed". Because brother XXX and his wife, XXX decided to sell the ship, owned by them, in order to "try to clean up the debts being honest and transparent[s]", so you can not continue with the process Of Matthew 18: 15-17. The one that, later. Brother XXX decided to help XXX in the formation of a new family business, we understand that it is a personal and familiar matter, in which the congregation must be kept out.
We trust that the conversation with the circuit superintendent has helped you to find a peaceful and friendly solution. Dear XXX do not question our criteria for what happened. But seeing the effect that this might have on the relations with your family, the brothers of the congregation and even your spirituality, do not you believe that "the price" that is being paid by all those involved could be much higher That the value that the possessions for which you are litigating could have? In First Corinthians 6: 7 it says, "Truly, then, it is a complete defeat for you who are having litigation with one another: why do not they rather let them do injustice to them? That defraud them? " With these words, Jehovah reminds us that priorities must sometimes be set in our lives. Is money and our rights, or the peace and unity of the family and the congregation, more important to us? What do we value more, money or our spirituality? Does it compensate for everything we strive to achieve if, after that, we leave pain and open wounds? We are sure that as Christians you want to do things the way Jehovah does. You will strive to follow these and other advice that will have been offered, knowing that the love that we feel for you motivates them. Therefore, unless new and clear evidence arises, we give this matter as closed.
