If he was a JW he probably wouldn't have returned it but thought Oh I will sell it and send the money to the poor brothers in Bethel and keep a bit for a new suit, briefcase, comfortable shoes for field service, oh I need a new 4 door car to take the brothers and sister in, then the rest send to the poor brothers in Bethel, after all its just worldly money, and its what we like to call theocratic warfare RIGHT? damn my conscience feels so clean

To be fair, that one may actually be true. Below is a link to Jerry Bergman's web page "The Watchtower's Nazi Conflicts -- A History of Watchtower Cowardliness and Witness Perseverance". http://www.premier1.net/~raines/conflicts.html
The camp officials discovered . . . that the Jehovah's Witnesses served many useful purposes. One of these was to shave the SS with cut-throat razors. The SS could truly enjoy their toilet, knowing that the razor was in the hand of a man who had sworn to respect life even at the expense of his own. Although such services must have added to their chances of survival, it did not endear them to their fellow prisoners. Jehovah's Witnesses were generally put to work on outlying farms around the camp. They appear to have been the dominant labour force on the land, although there were other workers too.
