As the different type of promotions get more and more absurd, it seems evident that any reasonable person would see right through it. I suspect many LCers do. I know with things like PSRP, despite how much it was promoted, it never really caught on. No one really spoke out against it, but just rejected it by not participating.

My "favorite" (note the tongue cemented in my cheek) thing to come out of LSM recently is what they call the "Ministry Digest".
The website (
https://www.lsm.org/ministry-digest/) says the goal of the Ministry Digest is:
1. to help the saints enter into the riches of the CWWL, and
2. to provide ministry content for the churches in their corporate weekly pursuit.
So....it's a separate book to help the saints get into a set of books. It's books on books. And I thought the HWMR contained ministry content for their corporate weekly pursuit? Are you saying they need ministry content beyond the weekly HWMR and beyond the actual ministry content busting out of all their bookshelves? It's ridiculous.
The best part is there is an actual subscription for it: effortless cha-ching!
How the saints don't see through it all yet is absolutely beyond me.
I also recall a number of years back there was some kind of little propagation meeting during one of the trainings.....one of Kerry Robichaux's young sons was tapped to stand on stage and promote a mini pocket version of the Life-Study of something. Exodus, maybe. As if the standard size was what was preventing the saints from reading it.
The main topic of conversation after the propagation meeting? Not what was promoted, that's for sure. It was how much Kerry's son's stage-mannerisms and tone were a mirror imitation of his dad. Did the wowee-zowee mini-Life-Study thing take off? Not that I recall. They just keep digging stuff out of their trash cans and spray painting it. Sigh.
