Can a video involving a christien having sex be viewed and used by elders?
by StephaneLaliberte inlets say someone has a sexual encounter and a third party video taps it.
in canada, it would be illegal for the one that taped the video to show it to the elders as this would be "invasion of privacy".
what i am wondering however is if any legal action can be done against the elders and the wt if they view this video and take it into account in a judicial comity.

Lets say someone has a sexual encounter and a third party video taps it. In Canada, it would be illegal for the one that taped the video to show it to the elders as this would be "invasion of privacy". What I am wondering however is if any legal action can be done against the elders and the WT if they view this video and take it into account in a Judicial Comity.
Does anyone have experience in such matter?

If you were told today you would die next week, would you be happy and fine with that?
by EndofMysteries ini don't know how so many who seem to be certain this life is it after being jw's seem to happily accept it and be fine with it.
i am living and trying to live as if this is it.
i want there to be a future life/afterlife, something, but i see how fast life comes and goes and even if i'm living it to the fullest, there is no peace for me with the thought this may be it.

I also take the time to enjoy the the present moment and appreciate what I have while I have it keeping in mind that everything we have, we are bound to loose it. But we can keep the memory forever.
For instance, if one year, I can afford a super nice car and loose it the next, than, I will say: "It was fun to have that car while I had it, I really enjoyed it", instead of "the car that I have now sucks, oh pity me!" I will actually be grateful that I once had the privilege of having a nice car, not linger on the fact that I don't have one now.

To be honest with you, I don't know if there is anything after death; On the other hand, I try to live believing it. In the end, once I am dead, if there is really nothing, than I won't even know it, so why worry?
The only thing that is very important to me is for people (or God) to be able to say: "He was a good man". So far, aside for what every JWs think of me, I believe I have achieved this. Hence, if death comes to me tonight or next week, I do not mind; I did my best.
Still, I have young kids, and I'd like to be able to help them and protect them as long as I can. And should I have the honor of dying an heroic death, the better.

Also one more thing... isn't it strange that the society has not printed anything about forensic evidence as being valid as a second witness? -

Nitty-Gritty, you wrote:
That is why, and I am repeating myself, parents will go to the authorities (police) to report that crime. Elders will advise parents to go to the police if they themselves are not mandated to report.
Unfortunately, the instructions given to the elders do not state that they are to encourage the parents to report to the police. They are simply not to prevent the victim to go to the police. But not instructed to help!
This is passive resistance as they won't get any type of support from the elders. The issue here is that this will likely create a "cold" in between the victim who would surely expect support, and the elders who are doing nothing to help. Other members of the congregations will sense a "cold" between the victim and the elders and will automatically assume the victim has a problem due to some kind of spiritual weakness. Thus, she will, unknowingly, become an outcast as all this will feel weird and spiritual families stay away from weird.
Though many congregations will have elders, I am sure, that will help the victim through the police process and encourage, the Elders book does not push in this way. You go to the hospital because you are sick and might be exposed to blood transfusions? There is a special committee for that and three elders will be by your side. They have printed hundreds of pages and images on that topic. You are at the police station because you are victim of a rape by a member in the congregation? Nothing is printed on that.

First of all: That was a very well delivered speech: Great actor!
Now, I happen to agree. and for those who believe that it is only in the old testament: What about Ananias and Sapphira? they both died because they told the apostles that they were giving in all the money of the sale of their property while in fact, they kept a portion for themselves. Seriously... could you imagine a court in the US, Canada, or in Europe deliver such a sentence? None sense.
