I did this about 6 months ago too. It was extremely cathartic. It felts soooo good to get rid of it, and what a huge amount of room it made. Now there's enough room for my real theocratic library, where Ray Franz has prime position.
I did salvage some older books, and have bought some others from ebay...references.
All those bound volumes, who needs them? I do have 2005 cd from reexamine.

I rip up watchtowers and awakes but I have about 5 books. Hubby once asked why I kept the books. I told him for evidence. Funny engough 3 of them are geared towards children - my kids have shown no interest.

Good for you Mini. After the Watchtower Library CDROMS started coming out...1993? 1995? I stopped getting the bound volumes, stopped collecting the stupid Km's and the last time I moved I packed the WT books up and now they are in the attic collecting dust. I wish I kept that stupid Revelation Climax book out though, never thought we'd be studying that again!

I hope you shredded it first, so no unsuspecting person can read it and get duped by the wts crap. We don't want to see a future wt article about someone finding the lie through a mag they found in the trash.
I'll bet it was a relief to see it go, I know it was for me when I got rid of mine around 5 years ago - I burned the lot, very therapeutic seeing all that crap burn.

Naw... I say donate them to the U.N.
Then the WTBTS would need to have a Library Card to go look at them. What a hoot that would be, eh?

Hi Minimus,
I too threw out my entire collection of Watchtowers, Awakes, bound volumes, yearbooks, cassettes, videos, everything. I came to the point when I had to make a complete break from the WT mastery over my life. It felt kind of cathartic. I am far past the grieving stage and I now had the opportunity to cut my losses and move on. To hang onto my WT library reminded me daily of the huge mistake that I made when I was so young. Throwing it all away was my way of saying **** *** Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. You can take this library of lies and stuff it where the sun don't shine.
