PPH destroys books authored by WWPF?- Rieder next?
 
In December this poster asked if the org ... namely the PPH would stop selling books and materials authored by leaders of the newly formed WWPF.

See this thread

A very reliable source has indicated that as of a few weeks ago the PPH has begun to destroy books authored by LB and CC. Apparently they will no longer be stocking these books. The PPH website still shows some materials on their website... however this seems to be the recourse taken.

This type of selective sanitizing/censorship/business decision is not new to the org. NAU allegedly had P. Dugas' books removed from the shelves for personal reasons. Also some materials by Tommy Tenney were nixed too ... when he left the org in the 90's.

Other materials and works have seen the axed or sanitized in the past for various other reasons.

Interestingly enough, TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer and Rick Warren still have a home w/ PPH.

Would the org pull Reider's or Jasinki's books if questions about holy hair would persist and their was enough of a clamor?

Destroyed books? That they are financially liable for, or, in which they have invested? Hardly, if they have the inventory. If it is a matter of just being a middleman distributor with no inventory on hand, they would just de-list them. If there is a low volume of these books being sold, they wouldn't be missing much mark-up value. If these are high volume items, they wouldn't let go of that revenue, if indeed they are in supposed financial straits.

Definitely not good business however ... I believe they may have rights to these materials thru WAP.

I remember several years ago asking a high ranking official of the UPC why the PPH didn’t stock Tommy Tenney’s books, while T.D. Jakes, John Maxwell, Rick Warren and others are being sold. The answer was Tommy Tenney walked away from truth and it would send the wrong message to our young ministers.

So when you walk away from the UPC, you walk away from truth, as long as you were never in truth, your books and materials are ok. Sounds like a bunch of religious politics to me.

The PPH is losing a half a million dollars a year, nearly 3 million dollars in the hole and they are destroying books, sounds foolish.

We are the way, truth and life, no man can comes to the Father but by the UPC.
We will tell you what you can read and not read.

Walking away from all the light they knew? Hmmm . . . sounds like the light doctrine in practice.
