Just in case it hasn't been beat to death, Truthsetsonefree told me of
another reason they planned to discontinue the bookstudy on a separate
night. It actually ties back in to the "gas is expensive" excuse.
Even though they are a worldwide organization of over 6 million, they don't
give a crap about everyone outside of the castle walls. BUT they are sending
Bethelites to Wallkill and Patterson to continue the work. Some of them
would be traveling 2 hours round trip (or more) and spending $20 per trip on gas
(or more) and the WTS has to reimburse them for that expense.
So the bookstudy is a humongous burden on NY state Bethelites. It is a cost
to the organization. Better to cancel that separate trip.
If this was covered already, sorry. Otherwise, I hadn't thought of it.
