Can you find the article for me? Thank you!

One point regularly made is that not all JWs are good association.

Friendships Among Fellow Christians
What, though, about friendships inside the Christian congregation? When writing to the young man Timothy, Paul warned: “In a large house there are vessels not only of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for an honorable purpose but others for a purpose lacking honor. If, therefore, anyone keeps clear of the latter ones, he will be a vessel for an honorable purpose, sanctified, useful to his owner, prepared for every good work.” (2 Timothy 2:20, 21) So Paul did not gloss over the reality that even among Christians, there may be some who do not conduct themselves honorably. And he was just as frank in exhorting Timothy to keep clear of such ones.
Does this mean you should be suspicious of your fellow Christians? No. Nor does it mean that you should expect your friends to be flawless. (Ecclesiastes 7:16-18) However, the mere fact that a young person attends Christian meetings or has parents who are zealous in the congregation does not of itself mean that this one is a good choice for a close friend.

Also, the term "probably you may survive" is used to show a JW may always turn bad.

w818/15p.25par.22HiddenintheDayofJehovah’sAnger***To the "meek ones of the earth," Zephaniah now says:
"Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger." (Zeph. 2:3d)
Why "probably"? It is because final salvation depends on the course of the individual, just as Jesus indicated, saying: "He that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved."
