  As I was flipping through some magazines in the check out line today, it dawned on me that the WTS could very well save itself.

  It claims that The Watchtower and Awake! magazines are the most widely circulated journals in the world. So why the hell are they not capitalizing on this popularity by selling advertising space in the magazines? If they did that, they could afford to give them away for free, their cash flow problems would be a thing of the past, and they could stop beating the Donate to the World Wide Work™ drum at every meeting, convention and special assembly day.

  Of course, that would definitely make the magazine 1000% more interesting.

  What kind of ads would you be interested in seeing in the WTS publications?

  Hi Scully,

  Remember the telephone ads "reach and and touch someone"? At least here in USA.

  'George, call your Mother!" admonishes an old lady, wagging her finger at the guilty viewer.

  Would this commercial ploy transcend religious sanctions that tacitly imply the shunning of family members deemed a threat to a true-believer's spirituality just because they're inactive?

  Huh?

  Psychics and escort services, political candidates, the Marlboro Man.

  But seriously, all they would accept would be from Stoops and office supplies places, fancy clothing suppliers, and watch makers, maybe sedan and mini-van manufacturers, stuff like that.

  I mentioned on some thread that they really blew it on the elders book. They should have sent out a letter saying the book was free of charge, but for ten bucks, they could professionally laminate or spiral bind or whatever. It would have cost them less than 2 bucks a book (maybe even just a fraction of a dollar) and almost every suck-ass would have wanted to send his credit card number. It would have been a status thing for elders.
  "You didn't get your book done? Don't you want to support the world wide printing?"

  Or they could sell the mags and just pay the stinking tax.

  Lots of choices still out there for them.

  Maybe they'll bring back the miracle wheat or the parking passes for conventions. Maybe they are praying for more Haiti-like disasters- they made a mint on that one. It did just flood there, time for another letter to the congs. asking for more help.
