i was wondering why the society went from selling their literature to a donation basis.

does anyone have any information on this?

I forgot something........even at the kingdom hall they dont pay for the books and magazines like they did before......you go to the counter, ask for what you want and then make a "donation"

It has been that way here in australia for some time.

It happened right after the government brought in the "GST" - goods and services tax.

The donation thing is so they dont have to pay tax.
