Oh, honey, you have no idea how much money I spent buying stuff from Stoops when I was a JW.
I even got my son, who was 3 or 4 at the time a little manly book back from them. I had it delivered at work, and even the nerdiest co-worker there told me that I was going to make my son a nerd. Got the metal little holder for the house to house reports, got myself a magazine thing that could be used alone or inside your bag. Actually, I have used that for other stuff too.
And how many faithful pioneers did you all know that bought a reasoning book and a lovely red leatherette bible and sent them in to be bound together for the ULITMATE PIONEER BIBLE?? Oh, my friends, I knew more than a few. And did the pioneers in your congregation all have that pioneer bag that looked like a box on a strap? That was huge in my congregation...but god forbid you had the nerve to buy one if you were not a reg aux or reg pioneer...the nerve!
