This past weekend, hubby and I disposed of about six boxes of old jw books. We put a few each in the bottom of big black garbage bags. Nasty garbage went on top of them. We wouldn't want them to infect anybody else.
Just a side point, my husband still claims that he IS a JW even after about 20 years of no meetings or service. Yet it was his idea to trash the books....
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, methinks he is waking up :-)
Yes nobody wants the old bound volumes in their houses. I have a whole row of them in a cabinet in the living room. 😬 My husband got them from a kind brother who didn't want them in his house! So I got them in mine and have to look at them every day. Ironically I don't think he has looked at any since the day he got them years ago. I though have spent many hours checking things on jwfacts and verifying them in those volumes.
I will have to wait till hubby dies before I get rid of them, but will hang on to 1968 watchtower for proof about 1975.
We recycled all our bound volumes. Ripped the covers off first tho, to make it easier for the recycling company. A good thing about the new no hardcovers policy is it makes them super easy to just toss in the recycling :).
We have a few of the old nwt, tho, including the old green one. Also kept a new songbook and the old mustard colored songbook (wow, why that color, of all colors. And you had to look at it twice a week).
I wish I had a pink songbook, I always liked that one.
