Think about it LofT. If it were a money-making model they wouldn’t allow copies to be made and they wouldn’t publish the books online for free.

It’s just common sense,

I'm just taking a shot in the dark on this.

Not all the books are free, right?

Also, I was shown an example of a life study that was changed from the original publication to what was online.

I've also seen (in the Genesis life study) where WL says that most sisters have mental problems and think they should see a psychiatrist. But they just need the Lord.

WHUUUUUUUUUUT?

I don't know I can find the screenshot of that but I've got it, wonder if its online still. If they needed to "clean up" certain things in their publications to make them more "PC"- that seems like a great way to do it!

Like I said, shot in the dark. I just always overthink things. They do exert control so I'm looking for an alterior motive as to why...

My point is though, LSM is making money on trainings and all kinds of materials. Anyone who sets up a business for themselves gives out little freebies, sometimes a lot of them. Sometimes a ton of them. So what? If you do, you might get 10% of their income the rest of that person's life? Seems like an investment.

Catch my drift?

Look, I know everyone in the LC isn't like this. So, stop using this model and people won't accuse you of doing it! it's not complicated to me. There are bad business practices, bad church practices, and certainly bad practices when it comes to mixing church and business.

The whole combination has caused SO MUCH PAIN....

How much would be different if the LC just hired a third party publisher from the beginning??????
