;bad association
:1. A scriptural phrase denoting persons whose beliefs and conduct are contrary to the Bible's standards, and who might influence Christians to follow a similar standard. (1Co 15:33) Everyone who is not a servant of Jehovah is potentially bad association. It is also true that not everyone in the congregation is automatically good association. (See associate.)

: A label worn by conventioneers, usually in plastic holders that are pinned to clothing in a prominent place. Thus they are sometimes called "lapel cards.

In former days some brothers wore attachments that said Administration. This was discontinued, probably because it appeared ostentatious. The only special badges are those that say Attendant
