Confidentiality by the WBTS
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inhow the wbts has definitely broken confidentiality in their own words!!!.
proverbs 25:9 "do not reveal what you were told confidentially".
a body of odours letter refers to this verse and instructs them when handling congregational matters involving legal issues.if an elder were to breach this (minister-communicant privilege prevents any body of odour from revealing things said in private to him by a member), then he automatically waivers the minister-client privilege.

Yes as a former elder if someone confessed to wrongdoing the first thing you were instructed to do was to let the po know because he may be aware of other instances then the elders gathered at the end of a meeting and then rest of elders would be made aware that bro/sis done this or that , then when 3 elders meet with the person then the body of elders would be made aware of that also.
So yes no real confidential

Circuit Overseer to Answer My Questions + Concerns...or Not
by Research inhello all, i'm 'researching', a jw who is in the first steps of taking a look at their beliefs.. i've semi-recently (about a couple weeks ago) heard about the sexual abuse cases (pennsylvania attorney general’s investigation request) and then the arc in 2015. this lead to a deep investigation, which lead to many questions arising.
a jw friend of mine suggested i be careful (due to apostates) and ask the brothers.
so i typed up my questions + concerns and emailed an elder my mother has known for a long time.

If arc is apostate lies why would a member of the governing body Geoffrey Jackson give evidence ,surely he would take the lead and avoid this so called apostate investigation ?
Unless he's a secret apostate.
