I sold all my books. No JW in their right mind would buy Watchtower Publications. Oh wait, JW's aren't in their right mind. I figured some nice Apostate person needed them for research. I was glad I could help. Plus, it gave me a little pocket change. I thought of it as repayment for all the money I shelled out to the Watchtower Society on gas, clothes, food and time. I'm still trying to figure out how to be reimbursed for my wasted life.
How did you brutally destroy your WT publications?

i just threw them away. they didn't deserve a poetic fate, like being torched, for example. instead they ended up in a garbage truck, where they were hauled to a landfill and plowed over with a big bulldozer (and they may have possibly been pecked by the ravens that frequent that landfill, but i couldn't swear on it.)

I sold the ones that would bring any amount of money on ebay... then I LIT THE REST OF THEM UP in the BBQ pit on Christmas eve.
I saved the "Youth" book for last. It caused me the most grief and depression during the time in was "in". My 2 year old kept trying to throw it in. I kept saying, "No baby. That one's ALL MINE!"

You know, I could just picture it. Garbage man discovers Watchtowers in the trash, feels moved, gets a study, and gets baptized.
Seems that I remember an experience in a yearbook to this effect...

I've put all the old magazines into the "old paper collector" after I got the first CD ROM - gives me lot of much enjoyed free space -
The books too, living in a very, very small village, where everybody knows everybody, and my mother and me where the only "represents" of the dubs. It was kind of "wittnessing".............

Nailed them to a tree (stake?) and blew them apart with multiple devices......Colt 45 with black talon shells, bushmaster AR-15, and then for the symbolic touch.....357mag with SILVER tip hollow points.
I still have a few more to deal with.

I took hundreds in cardboard boxes to the recyling plant. There they had a bin for paper etc...I thought it was the only proper way to do it. I could never really understant the idea of keeping hold of hundreds of mags etc, for future reference. I also found it weired that a business could produce so much paper material, and have no arrangement for recycling....oh yeah, probably to do with the fact that they are a multi-million dollar Profit company...!

"The only WT publication I brutally destroyed was a brand new copy of the Revalation book. I was so frustrated with the religion that I ripped the goddam thing into a hundred pieces."
I bet it made more sense that way as well. -

I went through all the publications to check for anywhere my name or any references to my family might be found and removed them.
Then I ripped up the books and soaked them in a big tub.
Then I stacked them in the back of my pick-up truck.
Then I drove to the K-Hall about 10 PM on a Saturday evening and dropped the tailgate and drove throught the parking lot real fast and they flew out all over the asphalt.
The next week I got all the mags I had and tore them up and early Sunday morning drove around the Hall and threw them out the passenger window, took about four passes to unload all the stuff.
