Would You NOT Do Business With a JW Simply Because He's a JW? (page 2)

Will an assembly part suggest that they shouldn't do this kind of business anymore, leaving me high-and-dry?

Exactly. And not only that.. what if you owned a business and you had an important weekend event which coincided with an assembly.. your staff wouldn't show up.

On the other hand, I have to say that at the restaurant I used to manage, we once made a deal with a witness family. We would cater their bridal shower, and they would steam clean all our carpets. They did an excellent job.

We once had a JW employed there who lied and cheated her way out of everything. After only a few shifts she stopped showing up and accused me of not scheduling her anymore.

In the end, I don't think that we can label the witnesses in general as reliable or unreliable. There are good workers among them and bad ones, just like there are good and bad ones among non JW.

Rule number 1 - Never, never hire a Witness if you are a Witness yourself! Where did this awful statement come from?

My long gone grandfather - many decades ago - and experience has proved it true since. You're just hiring trouble.

Not in a million years would I ever endorse that greasy little cult by giving one of its members my business. Theres a chance your cash would be headed to the contribution box.

A very important point to remember. Hire a JW to clean your windows, he donates some of it to the Society, and they use it to legally defend a child molester.

Business is business with me. Anyone who doesn't intend on paying his/her bill, I'll see them in small claims court witness or not!

I love the restaurant story! JWs are cheap. Speaking of restaurants, I love Greek diners. You always get great food in large portions (except maybe if a Witness owns it :))

There are certain Witness people I would not do business with based on unsatisfactory past experiences. I don't have any problem doing business with anybody who is nice to me and nice to people who are important to me.

There are good and bad workers at any business, but remember, they are supposed to be giving a good witness all the time, even at work. So, maybe more should be expected of them. Their exemplary conduct is supposed to be drawing interested ones to Jehoopy 24/7. That being said, my elders at work get a lot of customer complaints for their rudeness and arrogant attitude. Everyone jokes about the one especially, who is always whining about every little thing and is known not to work any harder than he can get away with. He is a real complainer! When mandatory overtime is called, he always says it's meeting night and he can't stay. He will do whatever it takes to get out of working. If we give him a job, he drags it out all day, so he doesn't have to come back and do another one. Some have said they'd never check out the KInkdum Hall after seeing how T. behaves! He has called in sick before to attend a weekend assembly, if all the vacation slots are full.

I know some JWs who do good quality work and I wouldn't hesitate to use them...and haven't. A brother did some work for me last month.

JWs who I know do shoddy work, or who I don't like to begin with, will not get my business. I can think of a handful of brothers that will never get a shot at my business. One of these offered his services, but #1 I didn't like him and #2 I knew he did crappy work, so I never called him back.

So, to answer the original question: No, I would NOT do business with a JW simply because they are one. I go by their reputation in the field of work they're in or what I know about them as a person.
