Elders tell their wives EVERYTHING

In my old congregation. I was close friends with an elder's wife and she would tell me EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING going on behind closed doors in the elders meetings. With every new reproof, step down, deletion and or disfellowshipment, I knew the reason behind each one. I knew when judicial cases were being handled and the elders assigned. Thanks to my friend, I was an unappointed elder.

Recently, my spouse and i were hanging out with this new person introduced to us by a mutual friend. This new person then decided to dominate the conversation. Everything we talked about, they had something to say, an example to give, it happened to them, they knew someone and so on..We mentioned a brothers name, and out of nowhere they blurted out " My husband told me about that brother and his behavior during their meetings.! At their elders' meeting, many elders do not like him. Some elders didn't even want to be part of the shepherding visit he is assigned to" and she was laughing.

I had my mouth wide open. Is she supposed to know all that? See why i would NEVER go confess to any elder? They will definitely tender my case before their wives while they're in bed.

My sins will die with me.
