I don't remember Your Will Be Done. When was it published? What was the color? What was it about? Was it a Tuesday Night Book Study book?

The blue book, that hooked my mother in.... The Truth that Leads to Everlasting Life.
Yes, we probably would have been a violent and dysfunctional alcoholic family anyway.
Being Jehovah's Witness added a shiny veneer over the madness.
I was baptized Roman Catholic, BTW. Just before the Witnesses knocked.
The Watchtower cult was all we kids ever knew. Estranged from normal Catholic relatives pretty much since diaper-hood.
All due to a knock on the door, and a blue covered book... My family unit is still reeling, and still healing, from its effects.

P.S.: Paradise Lost / Regained was the first "children's" book available to us. Effing nighmares galore.
Pink Listening to the Great Teacher later, when we had been "ripened for the Truth", around 6 or 7 yrs. old.You never forget the pictures.

It was a light green book published in 1958. Covered part of the book of Daniel. I remember the chapters on the King of the North, which was considered Russia at the time , against the King of the South(USA).

Revelation it's grand Climax at Hand, only because we studied it so many times I got tired of it!

It's a toss-up for me, between Aid to Bible Understanding and Insight on the Scriptures. Both pretended to be like encyclopedias of all biblical knowledge, with that delicate, fancy onion-skin paper and miniscule print. What a colossal joke.

RR, me too so tired of the nonsense in Rev's Climax!
Over and over and over again, and one more time!

Its so gotta be the Rev book for me. Those bloody pictures and all that fitting of scriptures to JW history - total bull. Still, its a handy publication to have around if you run out of toilet paper.

The "Great Teacher" is a good entry, but the Rev book takes the gold. I remember studying it five times in book study.
Oh, and to start another rant, I didn't repeat a single class of any kind in school, high school or college. How come I had to restudy 6th-grade level commentaries several times? Did anyone not get the point the first few readings?
