The problem is LSM. If you start something new how is that going to lead to selling LSM books? I discovered this in the FTTT, we had a very successful gospel program at the graduate school in engineering in Taipei. We brought in 18 brothers over a single semester, and these were abiding fruit. They came to home meetings, and church meetings. There were 4 full timers working on that campus.

The problem was we didn't use LSM books. They had to change the narrative so that the growth was due to Truth lessons or some other book designed for home meetings.

Guess who wrote these? KR and EM, two brothers that I knew from Houston who had never participated in the gospel. That was 1987-1988. Any increase since then?
