When the new donation arrangement came about, for about a month or so, we were told all we had to do was cover the expense of the magazines. The rest of the donation money was ours to keep. So, if a householder donated $5.00 for a magazine, you just put in the cost of the magazine and you could keep the rest. I'm wondering if this happened in other congregations or if our elders just misunderstood the Society's instructions. It only happened for a month, and then we were told we had to give it all to the Society, and in fact, cover the cost if the householder did not donate. Anyone?

Dobbie you had a real bad attitude about field service. No wonder you're an apostate now.

Yep i make a much better apostate then jw lol!All i used to do was show the magazines and ask if they'd like them (knowing they'd say no) and be on my merry way, they did try and get me to use the bible but that would have meant actually having to know what i was talking about!

Back in the day, you paid for the liturature up at the counter and asked for a specific amount of money from householders. That was your break money man
