Good question.
In my experience, whenever there was a new promotion, it was not unheard of for there to be at least some amount of reluctance expressed by the local elders. Of course, they didn’t express any disagreement intentionally, it was more of a natural reaction. As would be expected, eventually they would find a way to get with the program and rationalize the new promotion.
With this latest gimmick to sell ministry books, I would guess that elders will be convinced of a supposed ‘need’ among those in the LC to read more “ministry material.” It seems, however, that no one would think to ask the question as to why selling books would correlate to getting people to read them. The market is already saturated with LSM material. People have every opportunity to buy books, but they don’t. That says it all.
