I love in the article cited that "Mary" reckons that surely the sister wouldn't want to get her into trouble just because Mary is violating her patient confidentiality??
No! Surely not (!)
This is so that the elders have something to beat the patient/jw who complains about their confidentiality being breached. So it's basically saying that not only is it ok to break the law and code of ethics in this way but also that the summer who gets outed has no right to complain about it afterwards (!)
