yeah, you run into that every now and then. it can be awkward, but, it's not that big a deal. business is business. just keep it to that.

"What if you were employed by a man who now was expelled by the congregation, or you employed a person to whom that happened? What then? If you were contractually or financially obliged to continue the business relationship for the present, you certainly would now have a different attitude toward the disfellowshiped individual. Discussion of business matters with him or contact on the job might be necessary, but spiritual discussions and social fellowship would be things of the past. In that way you could demonstrate your obedience to God and have a protective barrier for yourself. Also, this might impress on him how much his sin has cost him in various ways.—2 Cor. 6:14, 17."
yeah, it was ok on the phone, because he didnt know it was me, and even if I had told him my name, i doubt he would make the connection. Hes been out for years.
just as a follow up to this: he called again but my boss refused to speak him. My boss thinks that he is crazy and won't take his case! (I'm glad I didn't say oh, yeah I know him, he used to be a Jehovah's Witness)
"a Jehovah's Witness"? are you serious? you did go to high school right? And we live in NJ, just a reminder.
correct phrasing is "One of Jehovah's Witnesses".
whats wrong with a Jehovah's Witness?
it's just improper grammar
