In the last two posts I was referring to your reference to "good material", but now let me address the issue of success.
As it turns out, what the LSM was looking for was a magic formula that involves something they could package and sell. The brother preaching the gospel didn't need anything. I also didn't need anything. The sister taking the brothers to the home meetings said she needed help with home meetings. So, LSM came out with a set of books on messages for home meetings.
So, this would have been a lot more successful if it resulted in selling more books for the LSM.
Instead, what it needed was labor and patience. We weren't interested in trying to sell books. Hence, not something the LSM was much interested in.
