What Do I Do With This RED Book?

  Some guys visited me a couple of times, and I asked them about the book of Revelation. One of them brought me a red book with a lot of illustrations and at the end of every page or so the guy had dated the day he had read it. He also marked certain passages. They never came back and I left the guy a message telling the guy to come back and pick it up. They never called me back and I have this book I'm afraid to throw away because the guy might want it back some day.

  Now, based on what some of you have told me about how JWs don't buy things from yard sales because they think they might have attracted evil spirits, I'm starting to wonder if this might be the reason the guy won't come and get it back. What should I do, draw pentagrams on the covers?

  You could always spray paint the book blue and then insert some apostate leaflets into it.
  That way if they returned and wanted it back you could tell them it changed/evolved and that they may want to look into it and see what it's trying to tell them.

  Burn it; or have them explain the "trumpet blasts."

  Throw it out, the guy will never come back. He got to count it as a placement and get his JW brownie points. Since you called him, you are off the hook, it's abandoned property.

  You could always spray it with gold paint and tell people that an angel gave it to you... maybe you could start a new religion with it...

  Buddy you don't need to draw pentagrams in it, just flip through it. Plenty of creepy stuff all the way through! Look closely at the more detailed pictures. Keep in mind these were painted by hand, by very skilled painters. What you see aren't mistakes. There's a few threads floating on this board from a long time ago talking about these.

  Also, that book is chock full of golden JW stumpers. Only the most skilled and knowledgeable JW could sit through a whole weekly study in that book without being completely lost. Even against the most scholarly JW, in a discussion you could have him dancing around making excuses or being confused with some carefully chosen questions about that book.

  Id say keep it, with a page of notes in the front of it in case you get a chance for a sit down with a JW in your house.

  If it's been longer than a month since you left him the message, toss it.

  It used to put me to sleep in the bookstudy. If you have insomnia, it could be a useful aid! :P

  On the inside cover write www.jehovah's-witness.net

  Write your name Cold Steel as if you were the owner.

  Donate it to your local Thrift shop.

  OR

  Study that book and when the guy comes back have him clarify if he believes it!

  It has a lot of false teachings in it! Worse WT book ever written.
