What is the point of control? What do they want?

Zezima - the reason they are not providing it for free is.....money, money, money, money. When the only source of your merchandise died 25 years ago, and you have a stagnant pool of adherents, and you label and condemn everyone else who might join, there are a shrinking number of ways for them to continue to profit off of it!

At a minimum they just got guaranteed that all localities will create an account. Instant, recurring money. Then many saints will have to create an account so they can print off copies of excerpts for their home meetings so they don't have to make new ones buy the ministry they are reading that week, etc... And many other saints will make an account because it's LSM and that's just what they do - whatever LSM says. One of the last redeeming actions of LSM (providing something for free, even if it is poison) just got monetized.

$8 a month or $80 a year, not a lot of revenue to be had. It’s an interesting move no doubt. It’s like when they added that giant 30 foot tv advertising ministry books at the conference center in anaheim.
