Do Jehovah witnesses like to except gifts?

I gave a vending machine toy of the Seattle Seahawks to a Jehovah's Witness who had the Seattle Seahawks on his car. It seemed like he didn't really want it? His a grandkid was all over it saying give me give me 🙂

I'm sure your isolated (and somewhat incoherent) experience can easily be generalised to an entire group of millions.

It was at my work site. I was in uniform. I didn't know he was a JW till I came to the car and saw the book in his hands. Also he waits in the car so he doesn't get sick at the clinic I guard at probably.

We not only accept gifts we like giving as well. Perhaps it was the tacky nature of the gift that turned our brother off.

No it wasn't a tacky NFL gift. I guess he was an illegal that liked soccer?

Or maybe because I was in a uniform. And most cops/guards of these days are getting bad wraps for protecting themselves!

And you are making racist religious biased remarks.

So here's the picture:

You are wandering around a parking lot in uniform carrying a kids toy and trying to pass it off to random children in their grandparents car. And you wonder why the guardian of the child was a little wary of you.

😕

Are you a policeman or a car park attendant?

Be honest, was it really a uniform or just fancy dress?

He says earlier that he is a guard.

I too would hesitate to receive a gift from a stranger at a shopping mall, even a guard.
