Whatever you do don't google circuit overseer cars. You might get directed to an apostate web site.

First, thanks to you wifi for another leak,
Now for humor. "And brothers, remember that there is a cost to those toilet paper squares. So, please only use the number of squares as necessary. Holy shit is what we're in" :(

Just to note that the supplier arrangements hold virtually no savings to the congregations, most of the 'savings' the discounts they may get are rebated back to the branch and virtually all of the suppliers have "JW insiders" that take commission for the sale.
Take this one (for the UK): http://www.dt4u.com/dtsystems/kingdomhallsound.php and prices: https://www.dt4u.com/php/cat.php - 250 GBP to 400 GBP for a phone-to-sound bridge - the high end one can be had from other vendors for ~160 GBP.

Still, I can see it now, witnesses will scramble to get a "spiritual" car from their favourite personality travelling overseer and then brag about it to everyone!

I note this was Australian, is it worldwide?
There will be times when supplies can be had cheaper at the local cash n carry. Will it be like Convention hotels when they are told to pay extra to "support the arrangement "?
