Advertisements and Direct Sales
This is the answer to all the financial woes of the WT. Wanting more and more money from the rank and file, in these economic bad times, is like beating a dead horse. Poor unemployed and undereducated Witnesses can't cough up any more.
If I were a overweight single JW female, I would pay quite a pretty penny for a singles ad. Especially in the Members Only copy of the WT. $500.00?? for a 1"x1".
How about an energy drink?
Get the energy to knock on extra doors!!! JEHOVAH JUICE!!! 6 for $10.00 plus s&h.
Don't go to the donut shop!! Spend more time in service.
Donuts to Go, single serving packages. Everlasting Donuts and Paradise Pastries $2.00
Lotion for those service related wind chapped cheeks and hands.
Living Long Lotion $2.99
They could designate an area to be a little store in the book room. Items for sale directly from the WT, could be included in the WT shipping boxes. Outside companies would just pay to advertise, and knowing the greedy guys in New York, I am sure they would negotiate a kick-back also. Since these items would all be blessed by the governing body, I would think that no sales taxes would be levied.
Any more ideas?
