Kungani Bekuphuthela?

Ngesikhathi efole emgqeni ebhange laseDolobheni laseNew York ngehlobo elidlule, owesifazane oneminyaka ephakathi kwengama-40 nengama-60 waphawula ukuthi indoda ephambi kwakhe yayifunda umagazini iThe Watchtower. Wayefisa ukufunda isihloko esikuwo esiphathelene nomthandazo, ngakho-ke waphawula usuku lokukhishwa kukamagazini.

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva, oFakazi BakaJehova bangena endlini yakhe, futhi wababuza: “Ninabo yini omagazini bakaJuly beThe Watchtower?” Ngemva kokuzwa ukuthi kungani ayenesithakazelo kumagazini othile, omunye woFakazi waphawula: “Indlela engcono kakhulu yokungaphuthelwa noma ibaphi omagazini abathakazelisayo iwukwenza isikhokhelo.”

“Bengingazi ukuthi ngingakwenza!” kwasho owesifazane. Lapho etshelwa ukuthi isikhokhelo sonyaka sasingu-$5 (R9) waphendula: “Ingabe uqinisile? U-[R9] kuphela unyaka wonke?” Lapho eqinisekiswa ukuthi kwakunjalo, akazange afune iThe Watchtower kuphela kodwa nomagazini ongumngane wayo iAwake! Waphinde wabuza: “Ingabe uqinisile ukuthi ngingabathola bobabili labomagazini ngo-[R18] kuphela?”

Owesifazane wajabulela ukuba uFakazi amenzele isikhokhelo. Nawe futhi ungathunyelwa omagazini iNqabayokulinda nePhaphama! ekhaya lakho. Thumela u-R13,50 kuphela, uzobathola bobabili labomagazini (amakhophi amathathu ngenyanga) unyaka owodwa.

Sizani ningithumelele isikhokhelo sonyaka seNqabayokulinda nePhaphama! Ngifaka u-R13,50.
