in regard to the 1943 WT requirements, I read somewhere that the brothers were bulking at field service, but some had no problem with speaking from the pulpit. So the Lord settles the matter and everyone has an assignment. The thought about the war may have had some bearing , but if you want to build up a publishing empire, just require everyone to preach. ( sell the literature ) What I find interesting is how The Lord informed them-seems like he spoke directly to them the way it is written . Everyone who is studying today should see this publication so they would know why they need to get out there! I was thinking the people were very gullible to buy the Lord telling them such requirements, but then they buy the God knows they should trust the GB and let poison be injected.
