If I know of a case of child abuse, incest, I will talk about it whether it was spoken to me confidentially or not. I think this is plan enough. I don't have the moral right to keep it confidential, even if I did promise confidentiality. I think that is plain enough.
What I have stuggled with is cases of people who have done things in the Family, totally repented, have done many things to oppose the Family, are strong Christians now, they would never touch a child again, they would had never had touched a child in the past if it was not for the brain-washing.
I know the law is impartial, if you have done the crime you have to do the time.
I know that I have a responsibilty to report that crime.
Will I be able to do that in every single case.
Sometimes it is just completely overwhelming expeciall if you know that person, you are close.
I really do not know if I'll be able to go that far in some cases, though I know that I am suppose to go that far regardless of that.
I am talking about being a human being with limitations and I don't promise to myself that I can handle been totally impartial in each and every case.
It is about an inner stuggle.
When I get to the point where I will have to make that decision, I'l have to make my decision.
As far as Jewlz's request, I think I explained myself very well.
I did not imply that she is after a jucy story however. I didn't mean that to be taken like that.
People should not grab at one word and go all over the place with it.
My explanation to her was the same as to you.
I don't share info just because I know info just because I don't have to abide by the confidentiality agreement.
I make the final decision as to what I want to share.
There is no case of a sexual child abuse that has been confided to me, but if there was I would make that case public.
