What has everyone done with your literature, now that you've left?

  I used a few volumes to prop up the leg of an old couch down in our rec room but that pissed off my wife to no end.

  I started up the fireplace on a cold winter day and started feeding them in. I was AMAZED that they burnt. I kind of thought that jehobah might have stepped in and protected them.

  I was a little pissed off that he didn't clear up the fly ash by the use of ANTIMATTER™ or one of those really high tech ways that freddy franz used to ramble on about.

  Some of my Wife's old books I stored for her in a box marked OBSOLETE BOOKS. I think she noticed but so far has not said a word about it.

  I have books that I guess I will keep for awhile

  My KM's I sent to AlanF and a box of WT and AWAKES.

  Burning books reminds me too much of Nazi Germany. So I sold my bound volumes to a JW Min. Servant for $120.00. I kept the AID book, The Bible In Living English, Rutherford and Russell's books, and the large edition NWT. Some of the more recent publications I donated to Goodwill and Salvation Army and wrote the market value off on my income tax, which wasn't much as Watchtower publications are so common. My ex-wife took the rest.

  It all went in a dumpster in a fit of anger when the shunning began. My only regret is that I also threw away every letter mom my ever wrote me. Live and learn.

  I put all of mine in the recycling 3 days after I found out it was all a charade, except my bible-for some reason I felt sentimentally attached to it and also had highlighted all the intellectual dishonesty that was in there. I regretted throwing out my Proclaimers book only because I wanted to have a permanent personal reminder of all the instances where the WB&TS have shot themselves in the foot with all their inconsistencies, lies and wishful thinking......
  
  Funnily enough though, when I hold my bible, it brings back good memories and makes me sad for all the friends that have turned their backs on us. :-(

  I collect it, especially the embarrassing stuff.
  
  I will keep it for as long as I have family in the cult as it can be used to help them to get out.

  I kept everything, and that's a lot of books. But in recent years with the help of friends, much of my watchtower library has been scanned and so I have it DVD's. I moved last year and my librray dwindled from 6,000 books to about 3,000. I ebayed most of it, and am still ebaying items, some rare, some not so rare. I figured if I haven't looked at it in a few years, I don't need them, of course someday I probably will, which is why I scanned them.
