I've got to tell someone. But the cycle of sharing privileged information is like that of a person who is addicted to drugs. After the effect has worn off, there is great guilt because you manipulated the physician into writing another prescription. Like the addict looking for the next prescription, the next tidbit of juicy information must be even more extravagant. Promises are broken.
Respect is lost.
Trust is dissipated. Keeping your word may be the most sacred trait a ministry assistant can have. Being ethical means respecting copyrights. Pastors and staff frequently write for publications. Musicians often need additional copies.
