Officially elders are not allowed to listen or peruse electronic evidence. I had this issue come up in at least one case, and the reasoning the Service Department gave was similar to what OTWO states.

for example, if i stumble upon unmarried jw couple having sex, and i take them photos, could the photos pass as evidence enough to df the couple in a jc..

i just got the "come be my follower" book and am shocked at their illustration on page 186. maybe i'm more shocked that at one time i would have accepted this warped reasoning.. first they quote jesus at matt.
7:21-23: "'lord, lord, did we not...perform many powerful works in your name?
' and yet then i will confess to them: i never knew you!
What a bunch of confused idiots (the dub book writers that is).

jehovah is one of the most colorful personalities in history!.
he is mighty, awe-inspiring, violent, whimsical, repenting of having even created man--yet, capable of bargaining with the likes of lot and stopping the literal-minded abram from stabbing his own isaac to death as a sacrifice.. jehovah flies into a rage and wipes out thousands in a heartbeat, sends she-bears to tear children apart, drowns millions of men, women, children and pregnant women in a worldwide flood---but, champions one family of 8.. this same super-deity walks in the garden of eden in the breezy part of the day, wrestles with jacob all night and can only manage to get away by crippling him!
jehovah leads the children of israel to freedom out of egypt and yet opens up the earth and swallows up many of the same people when moses delays returning from sinai and they slip into their old ways.. what a character!
Wow Terry, you sent the ball out of the park on this one!

is contribution necessary?.
Hey cyphger50, I haven't met her yet! Maybe I will soon. Don't know if I will be a brother much longer after that!

Holy s**t! I should go down there, get a room, not donate and bring a woman along for some wonderful fornicating! Wow that would just feel awesome!

i was trying to explain what its like to a friend today.
my sister has recently outed.
a couple of months ago she was getting fed up of living with a 'sister' in her 60s who imposed rules and regulations on her - my sister is 30 and doesnt need a woman who isnt her mother setting rules for her and playing the 'truth' card as a landlady.. my sister got fed up and decided she wanted to move out.
Watching The Truman Show was a pivotal event in my exit. It was so obvious to me that his life was much like mine. The similarities in control were incredible to me at the time. How everything could be manipulated, seem so real, and yet be so facke was mind boggling. Of course I couldn't express this to anyone. But it got me thinking. For me this is one of the most serious movies I've ever seen.

i think when he finally kicks the bucket that the gb will allow the rank and file to save thier lives with a blood transfussion.
from randy's site:.

If they changed it would not be a sudden cange. That would ruffle too many feathers and be too embarassing for them. I doubt they will ever change this. It's more likely that artficial blood products will make blood transfusions obsolete.
