I have been known to blow my own trumpet and make sure I whistle while putting a wad of twenties in the Kingdom Hall donation box. No reward so far because nobody really care's! I think most Witnesses don't have the spare cash to pay for all that wonderful NuLite new magazines so they avoid looking at those money pit boxes! People have their head burried up their asses, how misinformed do you think your elders are? Talking with the circuit overseer about the true reasons we left charging for magazines "Jehovah's Slave was far ahead of their time, the real reason we stopped charging for literature was Jehovah wanted everyone to have thos Mags for free!" elders and the co spreading this bull!
The real reason we stopped charging for magazines had to do with Jimmy Swaggart and Jim and Tammy Faye Baker? Not to give the literature for free, I know that's bogus because I end up paying for most of the congregations litertaure after the co roast's our Hall for being cheap!
