Despite this man's facial hair and no mention of religion, he MUST be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, cuz surely no worldly person would be so honest.
Serioulsy, he credits his parents. It always irritated me that whenever a Witness does something good they have to throw in "as one of Jehovah's Witnesses ...." as though they were implying they would otherwise not have done the right thing.
jehovahs witnesses are one of the most self righteous trumpet tooting drum beating people around.
just like the sadduces and pharisees anouncing to the world all their good deeds to makem look good.
I am still honest to the penny.
wannabefree, please be aware there are m-a-n-y honest people in the world. Believing all honest people must be JW is part of their mind control ...
The more dealings one has with the world, the more this simple truth becomes evident.

I'm atheist, and I would have turned in the money, too. No question. Genuine honesty has nothing to do with faith or lack thereof, or some flimsy hope for eternal life on the basis of how well you behave in "this life". If you're honest because of your religious beliefs, then you would not be honest if you lost your faith and you are not really an honest person.
Dubs really act as if they are the only honest people on the planet. Sickening.
wannabe... I'm willing to bet the guy isn't a JW; if your curiosity warrants it, why not look up this Robert Adams or Greg Jarrett, the reporter who did the story? Here's are a couple of instructive links for the naive to consider: http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/almost-as-bad.htm and http://www.perjureddeposition.com/2011/03/ron-nelson-construction-montana.html
And, what about this (very recent) thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/211746/1/Lost-my-entire-coin-stamp-and-paper-money-collection-surprising-story
Jehovah's Witnesses are no more honest than anybody else...they just talk about it more. When they do the "right thing", they make sure to broadcast it because doing what is right isn't enough reward for them. I knew a good number of JWs who were liars, thieves, and cheaters, but were either deceiving themselves by justifying their actions or just didn't care, as long as they could fly under the radar.
One of the most dishonest people I ever worked for was a JW elder. He eventually was removed as elder after misappropriating monies people deposited with him to pay their electric bills. The interesting thing was that he was never disfellowshipped. Too many connections to make him a nice easy target for that. JWs are mostly bullies who pick on those who have the least power in the congregations.
As others have said, its a mistake to think that only JWs would turn this money in. There are many honest, trustworthy people in the world and they come from all nations and religious backgrounds.
