Re: Four Areas where W. Lee was Flat Wrong
Joyce Meyers is an author. She sells books. I'm sure her book contracts are standard. Authors actually make a small percentage of the book price, about 15% at best. So if a Meyer's book sells for $20, she makes $3 at best. Maybe she could cut that to a third, but then book would still sell for $18. Do you think that would make much of a difference to the buyer?
It's the nature of our economic world now. People can make a lot of money by reaching a large audience. Meyer has sold about 20 million books (without once claiming to be the minister of the age!). That probably makes a lot of people jealous. Should she attempt to get less people to buy her books? Should she write less? Give it all away and live in a two-bedroom home in the suburbs?
I've never heard Meyer make any claim about her ministry coming close to what Witness Lee claimed about his. I don't see the comparison at all. Meyer's popularity is voluntary. Lee's was compulsory.
