We made a little over $2000.usd selling our remaining old JW lit. The portable record player and Rutherford records brought 1,000. Surprisingly a JW bought them for an assembly hall display.
We listed on eBay and Craigslist with cross-links. It took two days to do.
Previously the garbage man rejected our recycle can for being "too heavy" lol. So I loaded up the 1/2 ton pick-up....but the springs bottomed out too much to drive it to the dump. lol
I got rid of some in a big 4-hour burn pile, and had to use gasoline!
We saved a few 1960s gems to share with visiting JWs....which has never happened. I love the old Paradise book illustrations and the 1975 predictions and chronology chart in the red Freedom of the Sons of god
book.

Be sure to photograph and scan some of the illustrations and charts to upload on ex-JW and JWhumor websites. It adds spice to posts and helps young JWs see Watchtower for what it is...a joke.

People on here really had some amazing collections of Jehovah’s Witness literature both old and new, etc. including phonographs and records from the religion’s early days! Amazing.
I give you all credit for wanting to sell them and maybe get a few coins back for all the wasted time spent in that religion!.. I wouldn’t have had the patience but then I didn’t own anything too impressive like some on here who had several generations of family in the religion.. I came in as a Catholic.
I disposed of my JW ‘library’ a little at a time even taking some things with me when I left the house and put them in recycle bins, etc. I was so angered when I learned the truth about the ‘Truth’.. There was one particular thing I tore into many pieces: an inscribed song book from when I was baptized as a JW.. Of course, now I only recognize as legitimate the baptism I got in a Church in infancy for which I have a certificate which can be used for ID.

Don't burn them or trash them. Put them up for sale on eBay or some other place. The finished Mystery of the studies in the scriptures sells for around $100 us. Or it used to. I see the 1934 year book was selling for upwards of a grand US. But now I see them go for around 350 US. They have value and there is a reason the JW cult does not provide anything pre 50s to the rank and file. Lots of crazy crap in those books.
