Actually I have accept a "free copy" of the WatchTower.
I didn't write this to have my horn tooted, (I have my wife or her girlfriend for that[if I so choose]). However, I'm still amazed that people can't accept that they can get something for free...cynicism has overcome us all.
Seriously Yeru - why do you think the policy is to hand out "free" tootsie rolls? How many people do you know would feel comfortable taking one of those candies and not giving a donation (probably more than the amount that they would get if you "charged" them)? Not many.
How much have you gotten in your life handed to you for free, no strings attached? just curious.
A Tootsie Roll is a round log of choclate carmel sugary addictive substance.
We give them free, yes, hoping that they will give us a donation, or that at least they'll look kindly upon the Knights of Columbus...Free no strings attached? Hmmmm...God's love?
