Snitching	excon	07/09/05
Hello Christians: Snitching - tattling - ratting - kissing and telling, buring your sources, etc. What is the Christian/moral stand on the subject? Why? Do you keep secrets? Would you go to jail to keep a secret? Is it good or bad to do so? What do you teach your kids? If it's good, why are all the terms describing one who does so, so reviling? If it's good, we should call it kissing or loving. excon
Clarification/Follow-up by excon on 07/10/05 8:15 am: Hello again, Christians: Ok, I got it. Saving a life or property is not snitching. I really didn't think it was. But you people seem to waffell quite a bit. But, my question was about snitching, per se. The real ugly kind. Do you tell the teacher when you saw somebody cheating on a test? Do you call the cops if you see a neighbor smoking dope. Do you rat out your accomplice to save yourself from....... Do you teach your children that informing on people is good or is it bad? What is it? I'm clear on my position. Are you clear on yours? excon

Don't we call that witness protection? I am sure that someone can come up with the bible verse, but in general we are not suppose to tell the bad things ecept to the other person, in attempts to correct behavior, or take witnesses before the church to try and correct them. Of course there is also the level that it would need to be done in the protection of someone else. ( even in confessional, if we hear of someone that will be hurt, we have to break our silence and warn them or the authorities)
