Funny you should ask. You won't believe what this book says about JWs. This book has nothing to do with religion. It's titled How to be Invisible by J.J. Luna.
The gist of the book is stuff like how to register your vehicle under a corporation name so you are less likely to get pulled over because cops might think your corp. has big lawyers, etc., etc. (Riiiiight. I doubt that would work for a rusty, bent fender, old Camero)
In this chapter it is talking about hiring people who can keep their mouth shut. People who are trustworthy with money, won't repeat what they overhear, and will not go through your trash.
Get this (page 81):
"My next suggestion maybe worth far more to you than the price you paid for this book. In the first edition..., I suggested you contact an active member of the Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons). Unlike with mainstream religions, you will seldomn if ever find a longtime member of these three religions in jail unless---as in some countries---they are there for their faith. These people believe their Creator is watching them, and most would rather die than steal."
Oh...but it get's better......
"Now that the feedback from this suggestion has come in, I will limit my recommendation to Jehovah's Witnesses, who received a uniformly good report."
PS. It also says 'they won't preach to you while on the job'.
