so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.
I always kept placement magazines - at one point had probably 5 feet of them. It was always hard to know what to do with them
Some were simply unplaceable, even when mix and matching a placeable Awake with an unplaceable WT, etc.
Eventually, they all went to recycling.
My only regret is that I distinctly remember having a number ( 5 - 7 ) of the Jan. 1, 1989 WT's.
Would love to have kept those babies.

Sept 8, 1991
(Contrast those articles with Revelation Climax page 248:
"8 The UN does not have the answers. And why? Because the Giver of life to all mankind is not the UN’s life-giver. Its life span will be short, for according to God’s decree, “it is to go off into destruction.” The UN’s founders and admirers do not have their names recorded in God’s scroll of life. How could sinful, mortal men, many of whom mock God’s name, achieve through the UN what Jehovah God has declared he is about to accomplish, not by human means, but through the Kingdom of his Christ?—Daniel 7:27; Revelation 11:15.
9 The UN is actually a blasphemous counterfeit of God’s Messianic Kingdom by his Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ—to whose princely rule there will be no end. (Isaiah 9:6, 7) Even if the UN were to patch up some temporary peace, wars would soon erupt again. This is in the nature of sinful men. “Their names have not been written upon the scroll of life from the founding of the world.” Jehovah’s Kingdom by Christ will not only establish eternal peace on earth but, on the basis of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice, raise the dead, the righteous and the unrighteous who are in God’s memory. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15) This includes everyone who has remained steadfast despite the attacks of Satan and his seed, and others who have yet to show themselves obedient. Obviously, God’s scroll of life will never contain the names of die-hard adherents of Babylon the Great or of any who continued to worship the wild beast.—Exodus 32:33; Psalm 86:8-10; John 17:3; Revelation 16:2; 17:5." )

Not sure if this has been pointed out before, but just skimmed through the ambiguous article in the 1991 Awake that WTS used to ensure its admittance as an NGO.
I cannot recall any other time when a series of 3 articles did not contain ONE SINGLE scripture.

I appreciate the irony of Hank trying to reason with his ass-kissers.
Quite creative.

Then they bound all of the individual volumes to make one fat bible. It had cross references too. Down the middle. They dumped those with the release of the more manageable sized complete bible after that. It was many years till they included cross references again.
This puppy here.
It was quite an accomplishment - I do not know why they stopped producing them, and stuck with "the green Bible." (Cost, I'm guessing.)

this really got to me today at the wt study.. i am not ashamed to admit, i am part of that "generation".. you get one role of the dice in this life, you got to take what you can now, in order to have a good quality life later.. i agree, we need to help and show love to our fellow man.
but, not when this becomes the priority above our own needs, wants and aspirations.. welcome to "generation me" wt, this is my time.. peace out..
They are, of course, recycling an old phrase that someone else invented.
Including a phrase about the "older generation" that they are "not with it."
Haven't heard that expression in about 20 years.
oh my god!.
it is currently almost midnight where i live and i have now been spammed 3 times in a row by an unknown number.
first my home phone and then my cell phone.
For aeons, I have had 2 "land-lines" (not really land-lines, as they are VOIP phones - dirt-cheap). One is publicized, the other is unlisted.
All of the calls from the listed number go to voicemail. (This includes banks, employers, businesses, etc.)
Only very trusted people have the unlisted number.
Even fewer have my cellphone,
I was always reticent to complete the disaster relief form (I never did turn one in), as it is just another harvesting method of the borg.
If anything is severely compromised, time for a new number (same with email.).
check this out.
got this bound volume from my dad.. .
And this one from 52:30 onwards. (Also a talk from 1972):
http://www.centralprint.net/jwtalks/SpecialTalks/Kite%20Floyd%20-%20Are%20You%20Marked%20for%20Survival.mp3
"Let me assure you of this, there are a dozen inexorable forces at work right now that are converging together, inside of this decade, that will spell disaster for this system of things, and there is nothing that no human can do to prevent it. If you've been waiting, I'd say this is time to act."
And then more jibberish about the generation.
