3. Because a single private organization is the one distributing it,
not the Trump Administration. I wouldn’t call it prevalent either when 99% of the people never bother to read it in the hotel room either way.
4. I do love my taken out of context verses mehehehe, would you mind reading the whole chapter?
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
No? Okay, nevermind that it is a cry for vindication against the Babylonians who did far worse things to the Judahites...

I suspect they're pretty well funded. They color-code the Bibles, it seems:Orange: given in sidewalk distribution[10]
Green: for college/university students
Red: for in-school distribution to Middle/High school students
Digital Camouflage/Desert Camouflage: for the military[10]
Dark blue: printed in a language other than English[10]
White: for medical professionals
Light blue: for distribution by the Auxiliary only[10]
Brown: for facilities distributions, (for witnessing in prisons and jails by Gideons)[10]
Burgundy: personal worker's testaments (for individual witnessing by Gideons)[10]
Periwinkle: personal worker's testaments (for individual witnessing by the Auxiliary)

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work, nor thought, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave where you are going.
