We know that the above word has become one of the most used ones in the Brooklyn vocabulary the last decade. Almost everything in the Watchtower organization has been “simplified”.
Here is a very good idea for further simplifying. This one is for free for you boys in the Service Department. As we know only about 25% of the WT literature reach the actual public, the rest is gathering dust in JW cupboards and closets or end up in the garbage.
Here is the solution. The WT Society continues to print the same number of magazines and such as before because it looks very impressive. The various congregations just keep ordering the same number of literature, as before, but instead of receiving all of it they should get only 25% of the ordered number. The Society, congregation and the individual publisher will save a lot of time and effort that way. What should be done with the other 75%? Well, it here the simplifying comes in. The Society can make a deal with the local waste disposal authorities or a recycling plant and haul the remaining 75% of the literature straight from printing to the waste disposal or recycling plant, that way they save an enormous amount of time and labour.
After all this simplifying would also get the literature straight where it belong in the first place. In time this process can be developed to the point where the WTS ship 100% of what they print straight to the garbage dump, and the publishers could just pay for it. Great idea, eh Ted?
