    The postal worker turned out to be the mailman for Sheet Metal Workers Union, who distributed the mail for his office. Somehow he got the mail from the wrong PO Box, for some reason either because he knew who I was or whatever, he opened it and did a stupid thing. This was 1999-2000, so it is long gone now. The union apologized. The post office was only responsible for misfiling the mail, so I couldn't press the matter. I really just wanted to expose the fool. :-))

    Then there was the JW yellow pages ad saleslady who took my ad for a listing under "Jehovah's Christian Witnesses" and by her questions I knew she was a dub. I felt I had better check to see the ad was going in the day before the deadline, and SURE ENOUGH she had pulled it secretly and just "set it aside." I got her supervisor on the phone and exposed the whole gig, and she was reprimanded. The ad went in for years afterwards. Circa 1990?

    it's amazing that they don't seem to have any ethics at all. No boundaries, no respect for other people's boundaries. I remember doing house cleaning work with another JW who, in the process of dusting, found a customer's marijuana stash. She just emptied the bag into the trash and threw it out. I couldn't understand why he kept saying "thanks a lot for the cleaning job" in a sarcastic voice, until we left and she told me what she did. To be fair, she said she knew it was wrong just as soon as she did it.

    Can't remember the Watchtower this one was in, I just remember the story:

    A JW woman working in a medical clinic, her job requires her to keep anything she sees/hears confidential. Stumbles on the records of another sis in her congregation. Finds out this sister had an abortion. So, she breaks the confidentiality agreement set by her employer and tells the elders.

    Ratted-on dub breaks down, confesses and thanks sis who dobbed on her for caring...

    It was used as an example of giving "Caesar's things to Caesar, god's things to god"

    I can remember hearing this about those washtowels and asleeps when they still had subscriptions. They would blame apostates when the magazines were delayed or did not make their destinations, and thought apostates working in the mailroom would throw them out. And now the witlesses are returning the real favor for the imagined wrong. They are throwing out apostate material in the mailroom and upon delivery. I wonder how many of these people know that intentionally destroying one's mail is a crime, and you can go to jail for it. Plus, it will be plastered on this forum for all to see.

    Notice to any witlesses that continue destroying apostate material intended for other family members--continue, and you WILL be embarrassed. Note what 1Thess 4:11 says about minding your own business--let's obey it, now that you claim to go by what the Bible says.

    All I can say after reading this is WOW!!! The audacity of some people in thinking they are in some way so special that they can break the law! This is sick!

    I suppose if a member was caught and convicted to the fullest extent of the law the fellow members would see this person as a martyr, suffering for Christ's name sake.

    Ughh I am about to get sick here!
