I have OFTEN thought about all the wasted trees that went into the making of all that literature that the WTS prints. I have also thought about how much it costs to transport all that literature and the waste in resources to keep mass prducing and distributing the publications.
On a more personal level, I shudder to think of how much money was needed to "WTS-appropriately clothe" and provide dress shoes (and fancier winterwear) for the six children I raised in the WTS for all the meetings, assemblies, conventions and field service excursions we attended in 30 years.
I had NOT thought about the polyester suits, the countless numbers of pantyhose and all the rest of what was "expected" of us for decades.....but these things must certainly add up when multiplied by the seven million loyal and obedient Watchtower followers that think nothing of these things.
