Snitching |

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.

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?

Keeping information and giving it out is simply an individual decision.
To start with I would not go to jail just to keep a secret.
Jails are for criminals and telling a secret is not a criminal thing. If one has info that may hurt others I say keep that info to yourself but if not telling that info will hurt others then we have an obligation to reveal it.
There are a great many differences in degrees of secretes and information , some need to be told and some dont.
If I had info that would hurt others by not telling, then I would be just as guilty as the one who was going to do it.
