Avoid Bad Company at Work (7 min.): Discussion with the audience. Play the video Let's avoid the things that weaken our loyalty: Bad company. Then ask:
What effect did bad company at work have on a sister?
There was a time when the sister worked in an office in the city. And at coffee time, little by little all her companions began to talk with her sister at coffee time, almost always the topic they discussed was family. And the sister really wanted to give testimony, advise her companions, she wanted to tell them about Jehovah. But her companions told her that that did not work, what the sister did not know was that in reality they were the ones who taught her. The effect of bad company was causing changes in his attitude, his good habits, and his marriage.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The sister began with good intentions in trying to help her co-workers with the Bible with whom she did not speak much. But every time I spoke with them more, they were the ones who taught the sister, to the point that she is no longer seen with the Bible but sharing what they say.
What changes did you make and how did they help you?
The sister spent a lot of time with her companions, more than was necessary. And that was affecting him a lot, what he did was change. He limited himself to a kind and professional treatment, he was more prudent. This made her feel much better and helped her because she was losing the good habits that Jehovah taught her, thus exposing herself to bad company, she was being disloyal.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The sister was more prudent and limited herself to her work and to a cordial treatment in her work environment. Without reaching a point of intimacy as he was doing before. And this helped her a lot, not only her sister, but her marriage and her entire spiritual environment. Keeping the good habits and biblical values that he had.
What do we learn about avoiding bad company?
When we avoid bad company, we are faithful to Jehovah. Bad company only causes a lot of change for the worse. They cause us to separate ourselves from what is important and thus lose the good habits and values that Jehovah teaches us.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The sister spent so much time with them that she unconsciously caught many practices of the co-workers that were even directly affecting her marriage. It is an example that the same thing can happen to any servant of God, and the greatest risk is that we may not even realize it. This is due to all the time we spend with these bad company and the silent effect it has on us.
