  Tired of the Hypocrisy

  Has this one been around a while? Is it based on anything else out on the net and redone to fit the jws?

  Good example of how our conscience should be trained by Jah! Let's Watch How We WalkA Witness moved to Houston , Texas .
  Some weeks after he arrived, he had
  Occasion to ride the bus from his home to the
  Downtown area.
  
  When he sat down, he discovered that the driver
  Had accidentally given him a quarter too much.
  
  As he considered what to do, he thought to
  Himself, 'You better give the quarter back; It
  Would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh,
  Forget it, it's only a quarter; Why worry
  About this little amount?
  The bus company
  Already gets too much fare; they will never miss
  It; accept it as a gift from Jehovah and keep
  Quiet.'
  
  When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the
  Door;
  Then he handed the quarter to the driver
  And said,
  'Here Sir; you gave me too much change. . . '
  
  The driver with a smile, replied, 'I see you have
  Those magazines that the witnesses carry; Are you
  One of Jehovah's Witness? I have been thinking lately
  About going to worship somewhere; I just wanted
  To see what you would do if I gave you too much
  Change!' When the Witness stepped off the bus, he
  Literally grabbed the nearest light pole, and
  Held on, and said,
  'Oh Jehovah, I almost sold your
  Name for a quarter! '
  MORAL:Our lives are the only Bible some people will
  Ever read;
  
  'Let's Watch How We Walk.'
  
  -Hebrews 13:18

  What if the witness didn't even notice the change and shoved it in his pocket? I guess that 2ndary moral of the story is to always stand there when a bus driver gives you change to count it up to make sure it's right before taking your seat and letting the bus proceed, lest you sell J's name out without even knowing it.

  It has been recycled from Christendom.

  Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.
  
  When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.'
  
  Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.'
  
  When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.'
  
  The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?'
  
  'Yes' he replied.
  
  'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.'
  
  When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'
  
  Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember:
  
  You carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself ' Christian .'

  Yup. The JW's even have to publish lying experiences, coz they havn't got enough truth in their organization. (let alone a good experience)

  Sad.
