Help Finding a Book

    I am trying to find a copy of the old pink "Paradise Book". I remember having one as a kid growing up and seeing some of the pictures in it. I can't help but think that some of those images started the fear and guilt in me as a child and would like to show my wife (a non jw) so she might better understand how I could have stayed in as long as I did.

    She hears me talk now and can't imagine how I could have believed such a pile of bunk or how my parents still can't see how totally crazy some of the "truth" sounds. I have explained the mind control but I think seeing what I was taught as a child might help.

    I have looked on ebay....no luck so far. Any help is appreciated.

    I found it on ebay here:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=378&item=4528884545&rd=1

    If you don't mind buying the others.

    Edit: I don't know why it's saying it's invalid, because it shows up for me. If you go to www.ebay.com, go to the books section, click on religion, and then search using this phrase: Lot of 4 Large size Watchtower Publications VGC , it will show up as a lot of 4 books.

    You mean the orange book so many colored books over the years it is hard to keep track.....I still have mine from 35 years ago......talk about the fear of god put into five little kids being forced to study this very hard to follow book by a scarey JW neighbor who was getting in plenty of time with our family-----she used to tell my very catholic mom that after armeggedon she would come over to my moms home and bury all the family bones together if she did not accept the "TRUTH"----needless to say that scared the bejesus out of us (6-13) and my mom......all in 1972-----right before the end in 1975...........and the rest is history as they say.

    I wonder if they borrowed that title from John Milton. But, I don't guess they could be charged with copyright infringement, could they?

    R.R. Welcome back! I'm glad to see you posting again.
