    I think it's because the congregations that share the Hall would help themselves to literature from each other and mess up the bookkeeping if the cabinets weren't locked. What I remember is the Duncanville/Red Bird Kingdom Hall (where I had occasion to pioneer for a couple of years) used to lock the door that led back into the literature counter area, which also happened to be where the burglar alarm was. When the door was unlocked (and I was one of the privileged few sisters who had a key), I had about 30 seconds to disarm the alarm before the cops were called. I was able to do it because I was young enough and unself-conscious enough to vault over the counter, which I guess was quite a show for the Wednesday morning group! (No thongs, though, sorry!)

    That's kinda the way I see it .Here they are claiming all publication are available for suggested donations,they supposedly did away with the cost of publication promotions and just left it to peoples conscience but as we see they became even more cost conscience themselves .It seems hypocritical that an organization that claims they trust in jehovah to provide needed funds would then show a tight fisted aproach to their own people.Let's not forget that the love of money is the root to all sorts of injurious things.

    'cause they're suppose to. Besides, they're SO valuable.

    In my congregation we stacked them and stood on them to clean the windows
