Kumbaya>”I wasn't saying the churches force the saints to buy the material. I'm saying LSM forces the local churches to buy it, whether is sells to the saints of not. That's just what someone told me and I honestly hope I'm wrong and they had wrong information!”
Kumbaya, I can only share my experience. LSM does not force local churches to buy anything. For those that own their meeting hall they will often carry some of the books for the convenience of the saints but mostly books are sold online, on amazon, or on subscription. Some of the larger churches have bigger libraries, and they should to serve the needs of the saints.
I can’t speak to what someone told you but I can tell you after more than four decades in churches big and small, in many places near and far, those that own their meeting hall, those that rent, and those that have no meeting hall at all, I have never once observed LSM forcing local churches to buy books.
