Would you tell your JW coworker you used to be a JW
by serendipity in
1. jw
2. friends
i've realized a new employee is a jw, because he likes to leave jw literature on his desk and because he mentioned "congregation responsibilities".

i am debating whether to tell him of my jw past.. the main reason for considering this is because i had mentioned to another coworker "g" that i was raised as a jw, before the jw's arrival.

if the jw tries to witness to "g", "g" might reveal that fact.
