Tornapart - I vividly remember both books. I absolutely loved the Paradise book and my mother let me draw in it with crayons. I also have many fond memories of ploughing through the Babylon book - I recall my JW maternal grandfather telling me, his 10 year old grandson, to turn the light out and go to sleep when I stayed over with them because I'd be up late reading that "wonderfully deep" tome (at home my parents never minded my staying up late reading ) Although I left the organization years ago, as a book lover, I enjoyed the Watchtower publications. I am astonished, though, at the superficial quality of current Watchtower publications - they read as though they were written for simpletons.
