  I came across this little tidbit on the United States Postal Rate Commission web site: http://www.prc.gov/documents.asp?docid=26246

  They reference a legal brief ( http://www.prc.gov/docs/26/26246/watchtower-brief.pdf) filed by the WTBTS where the Brooklyn Boys want their postal rates to stay as cheap as possible. The brief is full of technical details, but there is one sentence of note early on in the document. The WTBTS says "... our literature is distributed for free to all who wish to read it".

  So if for some reason you want to get a subscription to the WT/Awake, the WTBTS can't refuse on the basis that you're not worthy. As long as you can convincingly demonstrate that you really do want to receive it(regardless of the reason), they have to send it. Else, they risk losing their bulk mailing permits and maybe have a charge of perjury as well.

  Skimmer,

  Like you don't want nothing cheap. I wander why apostate literature are so damn expensive?

  hey skimmer,

  WTBTS says "... our literature is distributed for free to all who wish to read it".

  Good point. Then, when the elders review WT subscription renewals, they have no legal right to turn anyone down - particularily if the person puts a signed note in there that they really do wish to read it - because the WTBTS does not imply motive - only the wish to read.

  hey fred,

  Whoever you are, you're trying too hard to look ignorant in the above post - nobody misuses the English language that excessively. Would have better success if you didn't try so hard to look stupid.

  I wonder if they have this sort of thing in the other countries where they mail out subscriptions?

  I wish to associate myself , to the remark made by waiting:

  hey fred,

  It is a kind andf logical remark... so Fred, please behave in a

  manner worth " of Christ "!

  Fred, I think that's because the apostate literature
  is actually worth what you have to pay for it. On the other
  hand Watchtower literature is free because it's worthless.

  Does that help?
