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 Clarification/Follow-up by HANK1 on 07/12/05 7:12 am: Excon: What you mention in your clarification deals with high school and minor torts. Not worth messin' with. I've told my daughter not to be scared to get involved if she witnesses a real crime. She agrees! It takes guts but who likes a sissy?

If I personally see or perceive a thing, I'm a witness to an action. Much depends on what that action might be before I blow the whistle, per the no harm, no foul bit. If someone gets hurt, I would tell. I do not keep secrets. Nor would I go to jail to keep a secret. Bottom-line: If you do the crime, you do the time. This is my moral stand on the subject. I do not protect sociopaths. HANK
