    So, last night we were working in our garage, we want the WHOLE garage as a banquet hall for our 4th blowout instead of only half like last year. Going through boxes, I found the mother-lode of old JW books!

    My old collection of Lit!

    Yearbooks from the 40's, 50's bound volumes when they were just binders you would put your year's worth of mags into...

    The whitewashed Proclaimers and Mankind's Search for God books..

    Organized book, the TMS guidebook All Scripture is Inspired....

    I just boxed em all up years ago, I never thought I would value them again, but now I do for reasons the WTS would not appreciate.

    tee hee, me so bad.

    That was only ONE of the many great finds we made when we conquered Cardboard Mountain, lurking there in the corner, we found my daughter's Baby Pics and her first little tiny dress and toy, long lost these many years in a mislabeled corrugated prison, and a memento or two of the few good moments in my childhood. Just a few small thing to remind me that there WAS a time before it all went bad for so long.

    There are MORE boxes out there, I can't wait to get into em!

    I know I have The Harp of God out there still waiting to be found.

    roller dave, hit me up if you want to get rid of any of those old pubs. i will gladly take them off your hands. i "value" them probably for the same reason you do. lol

    Funny, I boxed mine up (including the various DVDs and VCR tapes) and put them in the trunk of my car. I intend to drop them off at the local KH after hours as a donation. I wonder if they'll throw them out wondering if they were left by an apostate - or do they think they're protected by Holy Spirit from us big, bad postates. Hubby thinks I'm crazy, I should either keep 'em or throw them out. Seems such a waste to junk 'em and I don't want to give them the space in the house. What to do . . . what to do?

    You might want to sell them on Ebay.

    oh, once I have sorted them out and don't have a zillion things to do (direct) I'll definitely have some spare lit to trade/give out.

    I'll post what I got when I know.

    I chucked all mine in the recycling after 3 days of being on this site! Now I'm regretting it and trying to lay my hands on some new ones!

    Different strokes for different folks.

    As I have related here in the past, my considerable collection of lit. was systematically processed through my fireplace many years ago. Never regretted it. You who are still attending meetings might visit your KH library, if it is not being used for a committe meeting. The last time I was in one it was a JC meeting where I was the defendant in a case of first degree apostasy. (I received the death penalty). One comment that probably didn't help my case came when I pointed to the wall of old WT lit and said "if all that was the "truth" why isn't it studied anymore?"

    You know, an algebra or calculus textbook that was printed in 1890 is still just as accurate as one printed today.
