Well, if your husband commits a murder and you knew it, under law you don't have to testify against him.

Your testimony against him doesn't count in court, but if you assisted him or hid his crime or helped him cover his tracks in ANY way, you could be placed in jail for conspiracy or such charges. And I imagine that, for a Christian at least, honesty should be pretty important.

I'm not real fond of folks who break rules behind the pastors' back just so they won't be kicked out of their leadership positions. Either abide by the rules, or remove yourself from the position. There's no gray area. Its called: Ethics.

Or have their wife buy the TV so they can say they never bought a TV, or I really like this one.......put the TV in the garage and say they don't have a TV in their home.

Says who?
If you knew about it and did nothing you are an accessory to murder after the fact.
