Just Wondering...

I have been wondering:

 

1.    Do JWs buy the “Awake” and “Watchtower” magazines that they are required to distribute?

2.    If so, how many copies of each issue are you required to purchase for distribution?

3.    What is the current price for the “Awake” and “Watchtower” magazines?

4.    What happens if you can’t sell all the copies for that issue? Do you get reimbursed?

1. Not in any of the continents that I know of, i.e North America and Europe. I am not sure about the rest of the world but I doubt it. The copies in North America and Europe are not sold, but contributions towards the world wide work are accepted. I assume this goes for the rest of the world, in which case answers to questions 2-4 are non applicable.

Thank you Anna for the reply and link.

 

Can I ask, is there an obligatory amount of magazines that a JW is required to have for distribution, or is that quantity up to the individual JW?
