They kept a standing order with LSM, stored the books in boxes, and then every year or two would sell them all off at 50 cents or 99 cents to make room. One elder and the brother in charge of the book room both despised the set up but I was told that they did this to keep LSM from harassing them. BC probably was Humpty Dumpty trying to straddle a fence.
From the sad stories of so many other places over the years, I'm sure BC and ER had the foresight to realize that LSM and its goons would decimate their church, without even a twang of conscience. JR and BB in Chicago faced this same decision: portray lukewarm support of LSM and sign on to the quarantines, or else face the dogs which LSM would unleash upon their saints.
