how 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

i was baptized in my early 20s so now realize was too young mentally to understand the full impact of that decision and the long term impact on my life.. the org should stop putting pressure on young ones to get baptized..

jw.org is on collision course with russia.
the may wt study edition is full of prophesy related to the time of the end and what we have read so much in isaiah and jeremia bookstudy publications.. they found their enemy again.
jw.org needs enemy's to exist.
Just had a look, the term" don't poke the bear" comes to mind but it's okay for them in Warwick with a long stick but what impact on the JWs in Russia.
hello 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.
with the most recent investigative news report show entitled "the witnesses" i noticed a number of posters whose family members are pimi refer to such shows as "apostate lies.
" even the governing body (possibly loesch) made such a statement (possibly on jw broadcasting).
i was thinking of how to reply to such a statement.. first, ask "who is the apostate?
I approached a bro on the carts and asked him about the child abuse thing he said you've been looking at apostate sites I said no it was on BBC news still would not accept it ,bet if I mentioned about the treatment of JWs in Russia on the BBC news he would have been happy to talk about that.
fear is used by politicians, marketeers, social scientists, military psy-ops tacticians and just about anyone who wants to manipulate or destabilize another.
to illustrate, look at this 1964 political ad by pres.
johnson against barry goldwater:.
Not only a fear of Armageddon but the pictures of a paradise earth with snow capped mountains and lakes surrounded by animals and plenty of food and our loved ones and a resurrected loved one walking towards you , and the opportunity of talking to your favourite Bible character .
The fear of displeasing god and not being able to enjoy these things when the faithful would as a child and a youth put a lot of fear in me.
Now fear dying but not death ,as others have said would not want a slow painful death , but to enjoy the time I have left .
