I use my book bag to store my computer soft ware in its perfect for that. And as for all the old issues of magazines I used them to start my wood stove on those cold mornings. One time I asked for a lot of older issues from the friends so I could use them to line the bottom of my camp tent, they were more than happy to give them to me. Speaking about this, my older brother at a young age used to push his face against the pages of a old green bible, he swore it got rid of his pimples by sopping up that extra skin oil.
Just curious, what have some of you done with your exspensive book bags?

God knows what happened to that piece of plastic I carried magazines in, but me and the kids made some great paper mache' models using that "kiddies" book the Society has just released. (the one with the pictures containing theocratic genocide) It was a "gift" from the mother-in-law, but my wife and I decided it would be more beneficial to rip out the pages, soak them in water and let the kids have a bit of fun making a mess.

I gave mine to Goodwill where I got them in the first place. Elders and pioneers are the worst for getting fancy bags as if it were a badge of honor. Everyone had to get a fancy call book (from Stoops or equivalent) as if they made any RVs anyway.

It's sitting in my closet gathering dust.
Me too! I have three leather bags:
1. Elder's meeting briefcase sourced from Bethel
2. Leather Witnessing bag
3. Leather magazine bag (underarm style)
All unused. All gathering a little dust. All useless for any other purpose - I just can't bring myself to use them!
You know, there's a big, big difference between attending the KH and going to church services. At church I don't need a bag. I don't need to take anything if I don't want to. Bibles, songbooks, service books are all handed out at the door. Simple really. I wonder why on earth we couldn't have done the same at dub meetings?
Cheers, Ozzie

I had bought a very nice, brand name, expensive, over-the-shoulder type leather brief case. It wasn't particularly suited for the ministry work, but it was much nicer looking than anything that the others were carrying. It didn't make sense to get rid of it since it cost over $400. So now it is my work brief case. Works much better for that than it ever did for field service.

Ozzie, I have 3 leather bags too, all in the closet, and every time I open the closet door I smell the leather. It gives me flashbacks! It's interesting what little things will trigger unpleasent memories.
I really should get rid of them.

One of them is in my shed collecting dust. The other two that I used for service are setting in the Butler County Landfill. I believe they are next to all of my Watchtower placements.
