2 vidner reglen.

2 vidner reglen.
v15 Det er ikke nok, at en enkelt optræder som vidne imod nogen, når det drejer sig om forbrydelser og overtrædelser, forsyndelser af enhver art. På to eller tre vidners udsagn skal en sag afgøres. 5mos 19:15
To vidner reglen har været med til at dække over pædofili, i Jehovas vidner, men som Jehovas vidner selv siger det. "We cannot go beyond the things that are written in the scriptures" Og aligevellet, går Jehovas vidner længere end det skrevne ord, flere steder
I bibelen.
angående meddelagtighed i kriminalitet. Så er der jo netop civile myndigheder til, at tage sig af sådanne sager. Og ikke kirkens opgave. Desuden så er moses loven ophævet, og nye love er taget i brug. Så som denne:
v15 Han er den usynlige Guds billede,
al skabnings førstefødte.
v16 I ham blev alting skabt
i himlene og på jorden,
det synlige og det usynlige,
troner og herskere,
magter og myndigheder.
Ved ham og til ham er alting skabt.
v17 Han er forud for alt,
og alt består ved ham. Kol 1:15-17
Alle regeringer gode eller dårlige, er skabt af ham og for ham til at opretholde orden, til hans konge dømme på jorden kommer. Om de så ved det eller ej. ” Ved ham og til ham er alting skabt.”, ”troner og herskere, magter og myndigheder.” Så der er ikke et syre på jorden der ikke er under ham. Både det ”synlige og det usynlige” Kirken har selvfølgeligt prøvet at omgå dette, igennem flere år, og vagttårnet er ikke bedre, på dette punkt. En anden tekt, under bygger dette skrift sted.
v1 Alle skal underordne sig under de myndigheder, som står over dem, for der findes ingen myndighed, som ikke er fra Gud, og de, som findes, er forordnet af Gud. v2 Den, som sætter sig op imod dem, der har en myndighed, står derfor Guds ordning imod, og de, der gør det, vil pådrage sig dom. v3 De styrende skal jo ikke skræmme dem, der gør det gode, men dem, der gør det onde. Vil du slippe for at frygte myndighederne, så gør det gode, og du vil blive rost af dem; v4 for de er Guds tjenere til dit eget bedste. Men gør du det onde, må du frygte. Ikke for ingenting bærer myndighederne sværd; de er Guds tjenere og skal lade vreden ramme dem, der gør det onde. v5 Derfor skal man underordne sig, ikke kun for vredens, men også for samvittighedens skyld. v6 Derfor betaler I jo også skat, og de styrende er Guds tjenere, når de tager vare på det. v7 Giv alle, hvad I skylder dem: den, der har krav på skat, skat; den, der har krav på told, told; den, I skylder frygt, frygt; den, I skylder ære, ære. Rom 13:1-6
Sagt kort, alle skal under ordene sig de myndigheder, de lever under og de love og regler, de har. Og ingen myndighed, der ikke fra gud af. Men Paulus, kom da også lidt i bekneb med sine ord.
v20 Da de hørte det, lovpriste de Gud og sagde til Paulus: »Broder, du ser, hvor mange tusinde jøder der er blevet troende, og de brænder alle af iver for loven. v21 Men de har hørt om dig, at du lærer alle de jøder, der bor blandt hedningerne, frafald fra Moses ved at sige, at de ikke skal omskære deres børn og heller ikke leve efter jødisk skik. v22 Hvad gør vi nu? Man vil under alle omstændigheder få at høre, at du er kommet. v23 Gør derfor det, vi foreslår dig: Vi har her fire mænd, som har aflagt et løfte. v24 Tag dem med og lad dig rense sammen med dem og betal udgifterne for dem, så de kan lade deres hoved rage. Så vil alle forstå, at der ikke er noget om det, de har hørt om dig, men at du selv lever efter loven og overholder den. v25 Men om de hedninger, der er blevet troende, har vi udsendt en skrivelse med bestemmelse om, at de skal vogte sig for kød, der ofres til afguder, og for blod og for kød af kvalte dyr og for utugt.« apg 21:20-25
v8 mens Paulus forsvarede sig: »Jeg har hverken forsyndet mig imod jødernes lov eller imod templet eller imod kejseren.« v9 Festus ville skaffe sig velvilje hos jøderne og spurgte derfor Paulus: »Er du villig til at rejse op til Jerusalem og dér lade din sag pådømme af mig?« v10 Paulus svarede: »Jeg hører under kejserens domstol. Dér bør jeg dømmes. Jøderne har jeg ikke forbrudt mig imod, som du også meget vel ved. v11 Har jeg forbrudt mig og gjort noget, der fortjener dødsstraf, så vægrer jeg mig ikke ved at dø. Men er der ikke noget i det, de anklager mig for, kan ingen udlevere mig til dem. Jeg indanker min sag for kejseren!« apg 25:8
Anklagerne involverede brud på jødernes love, og jødernes tempel. (Et spørgsmål om tro) og om et angreb imod cæsar, men Paulus anbefalede ikke at man brugte 2 vidne reglen.
”v10 Paulus svarede: »Jeg hører under kejserens domstol. Dér bør jeg dømmes.”
Vagttårnet følger ikke de rigtige skriftsteder i bibelen, Hvad angår alt dette. Og på den måde, er der sørgelige forbrydelser der er gået ustraffet hen i glemmebogen.
Mat 18:15 siger jo også, at det kun kræver et vidne. v15 Hvis din broder forsynder sig imod dig, så gå hen til ham og drag ham til ansvar på tomandshånd. Hører han dig, så har du vundet din broder. Over sættelsen af dette skriftsted. Er lidt anderledes i NIVUS: 15 "If your brother sins against you, {15 Some manuscripts do not have } go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
Vis ham hvad han har gjordt galt, og forstår han dig har du vundet en broder. Visdoms ord, vi stadig kan bruge i dag.
”Hvis offeret er villig til at tilgive sin overgrebsmand, og overgrebsmanden fortryder sine gerninger, så behøver der ikke at blive foretaget mere i denne sag.” Dette er ikke korrekt, kun retten kan afgøre hvad straffen skal være, og hvilken en eventuelt behandling, der skal tages i brug, selvfølgeligt, kan dette kun ske, hvis myndighederne, får oplysninger om det skete.
Men Skal en sag, så holdes hemmeligt?
v16 Hører han dig ikke, så tag én eller to med dig, for på to eller tre vidners udsagn skal enhver sag afgøres.
Så to vidner er ikke krævet af selve gerningen, men en eller to vidner skal overhøre, anklagerne imod gerningsmanden..
v17 Hører han heller ikke dem, så sig det til menigheden, og vil han ikke engang høre efter menigheden, skal han i dine øjne være som en hedning og en tolder.
Og vil han stadig ikke høre, så sig det så til menigheden. Og ikke noget med at holde noget hemmeligt her. Og heller ikke noget med at blande, de ældste ind i det hele først. Men disse anmeldelser, er kun angående tro og synd. Ikke om overtrædelse af loven.
v9 I mit brev skrev jeg til jer, at I ikke må have med utugtige mennesker at gøre. v10 Jeg mente ikke i det hele taget utugtige her i verden eller griske mennesker og røvere eller afgudsdyrkere, for så måtte I jo forlade denne verden. v11 Hvad jeg skrev til jer, var, at I ikke må have med nogen at gøre, der har navn af broder, men lever utugtigt eller er grisk eller er en afgudsdyrker eller en spotter eller en drukkenbolt eller en røver. I må heller ikke spise sammen med sådan en. 1 kor 8:9-11
Hvilket giver mening, man vil ikke omgår en der udgiver sig for at være politimand, men går og stjæler. Lige så er det med en syndig troende😉eller broder der udnytter børn.
v12 Er det da min sag at dømme dem, der står udenfor? Er det ikke dem, som er indenfor, I skal dømme? v13 Dem udenfor skal Gud dømme. »I skal udrydde den onde af jeres midte.« 1 kor 8:12-13

hvem man vil omgås, og hvem man ikke vil omgås.
i den sigste del af teksten, jeg mente selvføgeligt, at man ikke vil omgås en bedrager.
og angående det sigste skriftsted.
v12 Er det da min sag at dømme dem, der står udenfor? Er det ikke dem, som er indenfor, I skal dømme? v13 Dem udenfor skal Gud dømme. »I skal udrydde den onde af jeres midte.« 1 kor 8:12-13
Så mener jeg dette kun gælder inden for religion.
men religion, burde være en privat sag, ikke noget man blander familie ind i ;)

Hvordan virker to vidne reglen i jv?

"Other cases of serious wrongdoing require special attention by the elders in order to determine what is needed to help the repentant wrongdoer and to preserve the spiritual health of all in the congregation. These include such sins as adultery, fornication, apostasy, and drunkenness. ... Before forming a committee, elders determine if the accusation has substance. It must Scripturally be an offense serious enough to result in disfellowshipping. There must be either two witnesses or a confession of wrongdoing." (Pay Attention To Yourselves and To All the Flock, Confidential Elders-Only Rule Book; 1991, Pages 107-108)
"What kind of evidence is acceptable? There must be two or three eyewitnesses, not just persons repeating what they have heard; no action can be taken if there is only one witness. (Deut. 19:15; Joh. 8:17) Confession (admission of wrongdoing), either written or oral, may be accepted as conclusive proof without other corroborating evidence. (Josh. 7:19) Strong circumstantial evidence, such as pregnancy or evidence (testified to by at least two witnesses) that the accused stayed all night in the same house with a person of the opposite sex (or in the same house with a known homosexual) under improper circumstances, is acceptable. The testimony of youths may be considered; it is up to the elders to determine if the testimony has the ring of truth. The testimony of unbelievers may also be considered, but it must be carefully weighed. If there are two or three witnesses to the same kind of wrongdoing but each one is witness to a separate incident, their testimony can be considered. Such evidence may be used to establish guilt, but it is preferable to have two witnesses to the same occurrence of wrongdoing." (Pay Attention To Yourselves and To All the Flock, Confidential Elders-Only Rule Book; 1991, Page 110)
"Is there sufficient evidence to establish by two witnesses or otherwise that the person is clearly guilty of serious wrongdoing?" (Pay Attention To Yourselves and To All the Flock, Confidential Elders-Only Rule Book; 1991, Page 119)
"At least two witnesses are required to establish a charge of wrongdoing. (John 8:17; Hebrews 10:28) If the person denies the charge and your testimony is the only one, the matter will be left in Jehovah's hands. (1 Timothy 5:19, 24, 25) This is done in the knowledge that all things are openly exposed to Jehovah and that if the person is guilty, eventually his sins will catch up with him. Hebrews; Numbers 32:23. But suppose the person does deny the charge and you are the only witness against him. Could you now be open to a countercharge of slander? No, not unless you have gossiped to those not involved in the matter. It is not slanderous to report conditions affecting a congregation to those having authority and responsibility to oversee and correct matters. It is, in fact, in line with our desire always to do what is correct and loyal.--Compare Luke 1:74, 75" (Quote from The Watchtower, August 15, 1997 Issue, Pages 27-28)
"in following Scriptural procedures, the congregation can only take judicial action on the eyewitness evidence of two or more individuals, or confession. So, while we may have some strong convictions on a certain situation, without this Scriptural evidence the elders are not able to take judicial action. This in no way implies that they do not believe the one bringing them the information, but as you said in your letter it is how Jehovah sees things that is important. Since this is God's direction to those examining cases of wrongdoing, the elders must abide by the Scriptures.--Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15 ; 1 Timothy 5:19. Some matters are firmly established by sufficient evidence or by confession, or both. However, what is the situation when an individual in these cases appears to the elders handling matters to be demonstrating heartfelt repentance? In that case the elders would reprove such a man, as Titus said "with severity". (Titus 1:13) The decision to reprove or disfellowship, the individual is left in the hands of the elders of each congregation. It is up to them to weigh all the accusations, and all claims of repentance. In the case of Titus, you will notice the reason that the apostle Paul left him in Crete : "That you might make appointments of older men in city after city, as I gave you orders." (Titus 1:5) These older men had a responsibility to handle matters in the congregation, in the same way as the "older men" in ancient Israel would have cared for matters of this nature." (Quotes from an Official Watchtower Society Letter written from the Watchtower Service Department regarding the molestation of the step-daughter of Daniel Fitzwater.)
" Moreno said that eventually, the truth comes out. "Somebody else comes out of the woodwork and now you can take action," he said. Moreno said two separate acc user s would count as two witnesses when making a sexual abuse accusation." ( Louisville Courier-Journal ( Kentucky ) Newspaper. January 4th 2001 )
"Brown said the faith does require at least two witnesses to prove any kind of wrongdoing -- including child molestation -- because that is what is taught in the Bible. But corroborating evidence can be used instead of a second witness to prove wrongdoing, Brown said." (Associated Press (AP) News, February 11th 2001 )
"The church - which has about 6 million members worldwide, including 1 million in the United States - requires two witnesses because the Bible requires it for establishing a sin, he said." (Associated Press (AP) News, Tuesday, January 22, 2002 )
"Brown said the church which has about 6 million members worldwide, including 1 million in the United States requires two witnesses because the Bible requires that for establishing a sin." (The Seattle Times Newspaper, January 23rd 2002 )
"The two-witnesses requirement applies to how we handle transgressions or sins as a church," Brown said. "It has nothing to do with how we handle a crime. ( SACRAMENTO BEE, Saturday, January 26, 2002 )
"When any one of Jehovah's Witnesses is accused of an act of child abuse, the local congregation elders are expected to investigate. Two elders meet separately with the accused and the acc user to see what each says on the matter. If the accused denies the charge, the two elders may arrange for him and the victim to restate their position in each other's presence, with elders also there. If during that meeting the accused still denies the charges and there are no others who can substantiate them, the elders cannot take action within the congregation at that time. Why not? As a Bible-based organization, we must adhere to what the Scriptures say, na mel y, "No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin . . . At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good." (Deuteronomy 19:15) Jesus reaffirmed this principle as recorded at Matthew 18:15-17. However, if two persons are witnesses to separate incidents of the same kind of wrongdoing, their testimony may be deemed sufficient to take action." (Quotes from the Official Child Abuse Policy Statement on the Official Watchtower Media Website at http://www.JW-Media.org )
"However, we must bear in mind the Bible's clear direction: 'No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good." (The Guardian U.K. Newspaper, June 10th 2002 )
"First, if any allegation is made against someone, that person must confess or there must be two witnesses to the act for it to be proven: "No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin... At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good." (Deuteronomy 19:15 )" (BBC Panorama News Story on their Website, Friday, July 12th 2002 )
"In the United States , when any one of Jehovahs Witnesses is accused of an act of child abuse, the local elders are expected to investigate. The procedure is as follows. Two elders meet separately with the accused and the acc user to see what each says on the matter. If the accused denies the charge, the two elders may arrange for him to have the opportunity to confront the acc user in their presence. If during that meeting the accused still denies the charges and there are no others who can substantiate them, the elders cannot take action within the congregation at that time. Why not? As a Bible-based organization, we must adhere to what the Scriptures say, na mel y, "No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin . . . at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good." (Deuteronomy 19:15) Jesus reaffirmed this principle as recorded at Matthew 18:15-17." (Quotes from Statement that J.R. Brown Faxed to Betsan Powys (BBC Panorama Reporter) on May 9th 2002 , and was Posted on the Official Watchtower Society Media Website at http://www.jw-media.org right around the same time the BBC Panorama Program aired)
"Brown, the Witnesses' spokesman, would not discuss specific cases, but he scoffed at allegations that Witnesses protect child molesters. Yes, Witnesses believe in the two-witness rule, he said, but that's not the only way wrongdoers can be caught. "It cannot be said that we will do nothing unless there are two witnesses," Brown said. He said Witnesses are not required to report crimes to elders before calling civil authorities. Victims and their families are free to call police at will, he said, although some don't choose to." ( St. Petersburg Times Newspaper, Published August 22nd 2002 )
"If the accused denies the abuse happened, the charge is dropped unless another witness can corroborate the story. That rule is based on the Biblical book of Deuteronomy: "No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin." In effect, the child's accusation is dismissed unless another person saw the abuse or another child comes forward with an allegation against the same church member. "We are bound by the scriptures," Thomas said. "But we would still report it to the authorities with only one witness" so the victim gets "the protection of the secular authorities." But abuse is seldom reported in jurisdictions where there is no mandatory reporting requirement, Bowen said. Family members and the victim are also forbidden from talking about abuse to other congregation members. Thomas said elders must protect the privacy of an accused, especially if he has repented, but are instructed to carefully monitor him and prevent him from being alone with kids. Bowen, who was excommunicated last month after being found guilty of "causing divisions," decried the process, noting the cloak of secrecy allows pedophiles to go door to door "witnessing" without anyone but the elders in the know. The requirement of two witnesses is ridiculous in cases of sex abuse, he said. And though elders may be well-meaning, they aren't trained to question or handle victims, he said." (The Toronto Sun Newspaper, September 1st 2002 )
"Brown, the Witness spokesman, said that while the church does require two witnesses or other compelling evidence before meting out any church discipline, that's beside the point because that requirement deals only with internal church procedures. He said the church does not forbid members from reporting crimes to the police." (Mid- Val ley Sunday, October 6th 2002 )
"JOHN BROWN SAYS THE RELIGION FORBIDS PUNISHMENT OF AN ACCUSED MOLESTER WHO DENIES ALLEGATIONS UNLESS THERE IS ANOTHER EYEWITNESS TO THE ABUSE." ( Tucson , Arizona News, September 6, 2002 )
"Brown, the Witness spokesman, said that while the church does require two witnesses or other compelling evidence before meting out any church discipline, that's beside the point because that requirement deals only with internal church procedures. He said the church does not forbid members from reporting crimes to the police. "We're not trying to deal with the penalty of the law," he said. "That's a separate thing from our point of view. Yes, an ab user should pay the penalty, even if he has to sit in jail for 10 or 15 years." " (Mid- Val ley Sunday Oregon News, October 5, 2002 ; Associated Press, October 7, 2002 )
"Church general counsel Philip Brumley said the church's own investigation of previous lawsuits found church elders did nothing wrong as they tried to protect victims, comply with sexual abuse reporting laws and adhere to biblical admonitions against accepting accusations by a single witness. ... Brumley explained the requirement stems from biblical references that no single witness should rise up against any man. But he denied the church discourages victims or their parents from going to police." (CNN.com, "Lawsuits allege cover-up of sexual abuse by Jehovah's Witnesses", Tuesday, July 29, 2003 )

hva hvis de begge er pædofile

og den ene er mindreårig?

hej sveland

jv har lavet en handlingsplan for pædofili,hvor det efter sigen ikke skulle være nødvendig med 2 vidner, men her har jv bare et stort problem eller også lyver de for offentligheden,jv bekender sig til biblen og som du selv skriver skal der iflg biblen være 2 vidner,og nej jeg tror ikke de tilsidde sætter bibelen ej hellere i disse tilfælder,men jeg tror de lyver for os bare for at få ro for myndighederne, for der står i biblen at du ikke må lægge noget til eller trække noget fra.

Lyve er vt ret gode til ;)

og lyve, bare for at få ro, kunne jeg da godt mistro dem for at gøre.
som ftg, siger det, så skal der handling til, ikke bare ord.
men jeg må godt nok tilstå, at vt, ikke er meget for at bøje, deres specielle måde at læse bibelen på. da jeg ikke mener at det kræver to vidner.
og at folk også skal under ligge sig det styre de liver i. da intet styre, ikke er fra gud/jesus af.
men der har jo ikke været nogle pædofil sager fremme i et stykke tid nu, og når man tænker på at der er 6,5 millioner vidner, og man tænker på hvor mange pædofile, der er i deres rækker... så virker det ikke som om de er ved at skifte taktik. men holder deres tidligere metoder meget mere streng end de pleger at gøre....
ikke fordi jeg ønsker at løbe med sladder, men mere vil have bedre forhold for børn i jv. og ting ikke kommer frem, betyder at det er børn, der må betale prisen. for sektens image. lige som tusindvis af andre uskyldige mennesker.
