It was with great pleasure and with mrs hosers blessing that I took all of our bound volumes and other obsolete Jehovah's Witness books to the local landfill. I threw them into the garbage pile and watched as a crawler tractor drove over them to pack them down. -

Nice one hoser, I'll bet that was cathartic! -

You do realize that Watchtower magazines can be recycled into everyday practical products rather than thrown into the landfill.

I know the feeling hoser , I was in charge of an Op shop that received about 12 WT videos , they promptly went in the garbage bin , so nobody else would be infected by them.

Have you ever tried to pass surplus bound volumes on to other JWs. Nobody ever wanted them in their house. -

I put all my old dublications into the recycling. They pulp them and turn tham into bedpans for hospitals. Either way they're full of kaka! -

I was spared that task by walking out of my mother's house and bidding that nightmarish existence goodbye, not taking a single piece of propaganda with me. If I did have any, I'd be tempted to put it in a pile, douse it with lighter fluid, strike a match and happily watch it burn. But then that's not nice to the environment, so the recycle bin is where it would go. I'd hate for anybody at the recycle plant to see any of that propaganda and take it home out of curiosity so I'd tear up anything I could with my bare hands first. I think that would feel very therapeutic. -

I did burn all mine, they are a bugger to get really burning, must be all the Demunz in them !
I have retained just a few very damning items that may come in useful when waking a JW up in the future, but all the general Literatrash went up in smoke, not very environmentally friendly, but bloody satisfying, they stole 58 years of my life !

No worries, Phizzy. After 58 years, you can be forgiven a little environmental mischief if it gave you satisfaction.
