Notice that the "flow" was not local. It didn't arise as local demand but as alien imposition.

I remember this topic being addressed in a "brothers meeting."

The Cleveland Book Service complained about all the materials stacking up, the saints cancelling their standing orders, and the books just could not be sold. Philip Lee at LSM refused to let the church in Cleveland reduce the quota number of books they received almost weekly.

Yet initially Witness Lee promised that each church would "make money" to cover their expenses, by only charging them 90% of the saints' retail costs. As a miniature book-selling "business," this book service was eventually broke and declaring bankruptcy. Consequently LSM was upset and owed huge back payments for books the church never asked for, and the saints were not buying.

Titus Chu basically "gulped" and instructed the church to send LSM some more money.

LSM didn't force you to read the materials, just to buy them! Quit complaining!

Too funny!


There was a time, back in the 90's when LSM started shaming us for letting all those books "collect dust" on our shelves. Kind of irked me since I never asked for all of those books in the first place, and I had to buy extra bookshelves to hold them. So I cancelled my standing order.

In the 90's I was a twenty-something young adult. I recall thinking who has the time much less the money for all these books?
It was insane there were new books weekly and there was a weekly sales promotion of the standing order. Living paycheck to paycheck just purchasing HWFMR stretched my finances.

It's truly amazing how many times they can reprint the exact same teachings into so many different books. And they wonder why the ministry is so tasteless.
