  so it has been a couple of months since me and my family have attended a meeting.

  we have received a few calls and visits.

  but what do you say when people ask "where have you been"?

  Thanks for all your responses, Huge fan of office space.

  Usually I just say" We are doing good, how are you guys", and dont give them a chance to pry into my personal life. Funny thing is the elders have not asked me why I am not going, they just stopped by to say hi and encourage. I have said " We are doing fantastic, thanks for asking" and I think they think we should be depressed, when in all honesty we have never been happier.

  When a crime is commited?

  by Drifting Away in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i responded to someone on another thread, but would love to know this answer.. if a victim adult or child goes to elders and claims they were abused, don't they have to have clergy confidentiality?

  so i was told that they encourage the victim to contact authorities , and they contact bethel, but arent there hands tied if the victim does not want to go to authorities?

  an elder made the comment to me once.

  Door to Door

  by Drifting Away in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear my wife say to me " we are the only religion that does the will of god , and that is to preach door to door, and speak about gods kingdom" and in one sense she is correct, i know there are others that preach door to door, but then someone told me door to door, does not literally mean door to door in modern times.

  i was confused, has anyone ever heard of this before?

An elder made the comment to me once. That it would be so much easier if there was a law that said when they hear of a crime committed they must report to authorities. So I guess any religion has this same issue with clergy confidentiality?
