The type of publicity the WTS craves

    "Odd spot" in our newspaper The Age today:

    "A Salvation Army worker who handed in $125,000 that fell from an armoured truck in California has picked up a $5000 reward. Joe Cornell, who was unsure whether to give back the sack of money, said: "I went down there carrying the bag like I was Santa Claus." Brinks also donated $5000 to the Salvos."

    If it had happened to a JW, and Brinks had handed over five large to the Society, the dubs would be hearing it as experience at conventions for the next 10 years. And they'd be saying, "Only a Jehovah's Witness would be that honest! Brothers, the world notices we are different!"

    The fact is -- unpalatable though it is for the JWs -- there are good and honest people everywhere.

    I would point out such stories to jws when I was one and they would say:

    "Oh, they are an exception in the group, all jws are honest" disregarding that I know they were ripped off by Brother Contractor, who did not pay this brother's employment taxes for a year, went bankrupt, and then the IRS went after him for the money.
