    Is the WTBTS publications free in your respective countries or is there still a posted charge for it?

    I know US, Canada, France and the land down under are free.....not exactly free they cost you your life but you know what I mean.

    It is free here, and its a good job.... I know somebody that signals their interest to get the mags.... then simply takes them to the recycle plant for cash, lol

    Thanks for the happy b/day, by the way

    They weren't free in Brazil until the year 2000.

    Now the "friends" go house-to-house with an envelope and ask for a contribution donation when the householder takes the literature publication. This has been, I am told, the result of a "simplification arrangenment" (for the Society) and has actually resulted in a complication (for the brothers). :smile:

    The friends allways get the harder part. Go figure.

    the only reason they ask for a donation is because if they ask for the money as they did before, then tax becomes involved like GST.....they dont have to pay that on donations

    The donation arrangement has been introduced in 2000 wordwide, IIRC.

    This sort of donations that has changed in the year 2000 is simlpy another of j.w magic incame for the society.Infact they by donations make double profit,how? they always get the sure money at each mags.collection from the congregation plus the benefits they get from people donations.Any time you donate many to any religion or organisation you can claim on tax,but with the j.w.they get the cake and eat it too. PS,is there any comment please.
