The local JW strateegery for the upcoming tract campaign is on the Service Meeting this week.
Initial tract rationing in our congo is as follows:
R&F unwashed publishers: 50 tracts
Ox pioneers: 100 tracts
Regular (as opposed to "irregular"?) pioneers: 150 tracts
This will leave a huge pile (thousands) of surplus tracts that anyone will be able to get a "reasonable" resupply from.
It sure would be a shame if those extras found themselves on an early trip to the recycling bin.

99% of those tracts will end up in the Garbage..Or..In the spare Bedroom or Garage of JW homes!..

I keep close at hand several copies of the last tract from 2 years ago- I have embarrassed a couple JW's by pointing out the JW child abuse problems- just like their tract warned about.. I'll bet they don't mention the clergy and child abuse in this new tract
Tract campaigns are only exciting to all but the dullest dubs.
I remember going out in service, as a kid, with a close JW friend, who remains a friend (and an ex JW) today. We used to take the whole supply of tracts and throw them in the trash. Then we would play ding dong ditch and throw rocks at houses and cars. We were indeed the cream of the JW crop!

If they were bigger I could line Rocco's cage with them. I could put the watchtower logo right under his favourite shitting spot.

I remember when I was a kid my dad was the lit servant. He got stuck with the job of stamping all 5,000 tracts with the congo info on the back. He passed that off to us kids... when we got tired of the "privilege" I think he had to pay us a penny each or something...considering our allowance was 50 cents or something a week (back in the mid 70s), we thought we had hit pay dirt.
Years later I got stuck with the same "privilege"...I ended up figuring out how to line the tracts up in my laser printer (after wasting a few dozen on failed attempts) and letting the printer do the dirty work. It would jam every 50 or 60....such a waste... I ran through 5000 tracts I think...our allotment.... burned out the printer drum (it was on its last legs anyway).... started making an awful demonic racket on the last couple thousand... and I bet 10% got eaten by the printer.....the congo was happy though...
The next year, the WTBTS put a nice neat little shaded area the size of a label and also a corporate code to use at Office Max to get labels. So the dubs had to stick their own damn labels on instead of me printing them (cause I was gone by then...lol)
Glad I am not bothering with that waste of time. And I am sure if my printer were a sentient being, it would be happy too.

don't forget if any tracts left over they are to go in the regular tract store - so they wont get left over
I wonder how many forests have been cut down to make WT literature over the years?
Billy the Ex:
LOL. Any reference to "Baby Jesus" always makes me think of Will Farrell in Talladega Nights.
OUTLAW:
Re: litterature in garbage: Our mags stack up for about 3 or 4 months and then hit the recycle bin. I haven't reduced our order.
moshe:
This tract doesn't mention child abuse, but the title is still pretty obnoxious: Would you like to know The Truth?
It might be worth hanging on to for future use as well.
"Hey, do you guys believe you're the only ones with The Truth?" Then pull out this tract.

Yep. Our Service Overseer was probably sporting an erection all through his meeting part. I didn't look too close though.

Just think of what a bad witness you gave and how many people are now gonna be thrown in the Lake-O-Fire cuz of you!
FF:
Yeah, they're probably a little small for bird cage lining. Unless you kinda went for a shingling approach. That might work.
Snakes:
Poor guy. I got involved in the "let's make 5000 labels project a couple years ago". What a waste.
stilla:

So are you going to be obedient to The Slave on this one?
Mrs. Fiorini:
So many trees. So many lives.
