I love them both
Thanks Bigs and Dutchie,
Nathan - mmm they couldn't watch dateline because they're in the UK. They're happily laying around the house, as usual. The tortie is officially the dumbest cat in the UK (still doesn't know how to work the cat-flap and she's 5 years old)...shes really cute though when she begs to be cuddled (aww).

two people can behold the same situation and conclude totally different things from their observations.
the pharisees saw jesus performing miracles and thought that he was empowered by beelzebub.
others watched the same thaumaturgic wonders and praised jesus as the son of god.

In the beginning was the word and the word was with non and the word was a-non

You are probably right that people don't know what it is.
Actually, I wish someone would tell me when dateline is airing over here in the UK...someone said Saturday but now I'm not so sure.
Help anyone?

Me too. I don't usually let people see the "symbol" because I think it can be viewed as a little bit arrogant (or that you are trying to say you are more intelligent than others). Thats why I didn't get the mensa credit card.
I'm not saying that you can't - thats just my opinion.

Non,
Non sees little relevance to a jc at this point. Non is talking about the court of public opinionIt is extremely unusual for someone to refer to themselves in the third person. Usually it indicates either arrogance to the extreme, or a multiple personality disorder.
So, why do you do this? or maybe I should say - why does non do this?

i've only just been told of a case of suspected child abuse at the local hall.. the child (aged 4) was alone with the abuser.
she told her mother, who told the elders.
the elders and mother immediately informed the police, despite the fact that there was only one witness - the child.. then the elders proceeded to inform families in the congregation so that they can be on their guard.
Path,
I can see your point about the JW mindset. Assuming that the individual goes to the elders, I agree that the elders should immediately inform authorities. It seems that after that, we are unclear as to what should happen next. Should the congregation be informed of the *accusation*? Should the elders wait for the police prosecution before they inform people?
The case I have given shows that sometimes the individual is suspected but not convicted. This man was involved in a case 6 years ago and it was never mentioned in the congregation. THEN he does it again - to a little girl in the congregation. If people had been warned 1st time around that he had been *suspected* then they'd have been more careful. Of course, we are going into the realms of damaging someone's reputation if they are innocent.
HHmmm - this happened VERY recently - last couple of months. The incident happened recently and the elders and police were immediately informed. I believe that the elders have acted this way knowing the current accusations against the society. They've made sure noone will say they didn't act!

OK, so go to the police first. Then, tell the elders? or not? What should the elders then do?
