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

Years ago my daughter was told a secret by a friend. This friend told her that she planned on killing herself. Her friend didn't want anyone to know.. BULL!! If a life is in danger, you do what you have to do to save that life!!! When my boys were little our oldest would go into the shed and light paper on fire just for the fun of it..His little brother snitched on him..GOOD THING.. There was gasoline and all kinds things that could ignite in there..He could have blown himself to kingdom come!! There are exceptions to EVERY rule!! Christian or not.
