JW elders can leak every other "confidential" subject matter that is considered within so-called "confidential" meetings among the elders, including a boy that seeks an elders help concerning the MA word and ;the involved elders will continue to bring it up years later if the young man is ever considered a servant or an elder. An elder will report when someone brings up his recommendation, "Well, you know a few years ago he had a problem with the MA word." Another elder, "Could a couple of brothers go and ask him if he has self-control now and has conquered the MA word?"
Why is it so hard for these mentally deficient people? Can they reason, that there are times that they could discreetly let the congregation servant body know, and then pull their shunning crap on the accused. I swear, just as they do with the minor incidences like a teenage boy or girl that walked down the hall at school holding hands with a "worldly" boy or girl? and it is reported to the elders then the teenager. The guilty teenager is then shunned by every family in the congregation for years? But NOOOOOOO, "We can't tell anyone about a pediphile, it's confidential". They are just idiots. As Jesus said, they strain out the gnat and gulp down the camel.
Maybe a lawyer needs to establish that there really does not exist any confidentiality what-so-ever or even pastoral confidentiality. When everything else minor is revealed by gossip within the congregation except the dangerous stuff then doesn't the body hold a responsibility? You either have confidentiality or you don't.
