Hemp, Good for you! I can't believe how much the literature is going for! It makes it really hard for us who are trying to build libraries though. Fortunately I have bought some at sales, etc. Any that I get i won't sell because of the rarity. If I get any extras that I don't want, I will gift to you so you can make some extra $$$ for yourself!
I even have a 1920's Graflex Camera that has the old IBSA Labels on it. Evidently it was used by the society to take pictures of the conventions, etc. Instead of a roll of film, it takes individual film sheets, and it has a leather type cloth thing that unfolds at the top to look down into to take the pictures! I will probably sell that one day though, but the literature is for keeps!
Even the phonographs from the 1930's and 40's go for anywhere from $350-400, and the individual phonograph records go anywhere from $25-$60 each depending on playability. The huge 16" sound car records though go for $300 plus!

Aquagirl, a lot of the pre 1950's stuff can be worth a LOT of money, especially the Russell era stuff like Studies in the scriptures, Daily Heavenly Manna, Photo Drama, etc. which go from $100 to over $200 each. Some Rutherford era books are also worth well over $100 each, such as Comfort for the Jews, etc. There is also a book called faith on the march from 1957 by McMillan which regularly goes for over $100. Early Watchtowers, before 1925 go for anywhere from $25 to $80 each, and the really early ones from the 1880's can go for over $1000 each, depending on the issue. An issue of the very first July 1879 Watchtower sold for almost $12,000 dollars on Ebay not too long ago!
Pre 1940's yearbooks are worth anywhere from $50-$100+ each. The earlier, the more valuable.
There is a book that I have called the three worlds that was published in 1877 that is worth a lot for an original copy, but not sure how much. I don't know what to do with yet. It is a really neat book co written by Russell and Barbour.
Even old convention brochures are worth money. The more unusual, the more it will be worth.
Anything pre 1940's I would love to have for my library (NOT to resell like some do), and i would be more than happy to pay for some of the items. If you want you can PM me if you want to sell any of the earlier stuff.
The last fairly complete whole Libary I saw on Ebay sold for over $30,000. Of course it did not include every book made, but had many really early items in good condition. The person selling it had put a Buy it now price and it sold quickly. Had it gone to full auction, it would have gone for more. The more complete the library the more it will be worth.
Look on Ebay first though, you will see how much the early items sell for!!!

Maybe someone can do a video about Caleb returning to school, only to have his friend ask him what happened to the toy he gave him. The video can show Caleb getting bullied for throwing away the toy, leading to how difficult it is being a JW in school having to deal with being picked on for it. If done correctly, it could be a good video that shows what JW children really go through in school.
Just a suggestion.

A message from youtube regarding negative votes on Sparlock videos
by Amelia Ashton ini don't seem to be making myself clear these days.
.
there has been so many "dislikes" on sparlock clips i received a message from youtube.. i asked for people to "like" the videos instead of "dislike" because this will also push the videos to the top of searches and hopefully get more views especially for jws searching from it .. i am now getting abuse.. please can people "like" the clips so the balance between like and dislike gets reversed.. ty x.

The true, unsung hero of the Bible....
by Unlearn inmy undisputed hero of the bible is known by several names, depending on who you talk to...devil, satan, lucifer, etc.. read it, and you'll find that he was the only one who really stood up for you.. he asserted that you could make decisions for yourself...and told you the very real truth that, just because the piece of meat in your chest stops thumping, you positively do not 'die'.. he was your hero.
he stood up to a daddy-maniac and said, 'just because you made us doesnt mean you have the right to tell us what to do.
i thought we were free?'.

One example of this might be a minister who openly despises gays while privately engaging in closeted homosexual activity.
This reminds me of high School. There were two guys who would constantly call me Queer, Fag, etc, and stick post it notes on my back, such as "Kick me, I'm Gay" and "I c***m my jeans for a muscular man", and they would try to act all macho around school. They used to constantly hang around each other, but I never really thought much about it. About 6 years later, I was visiting my hometown-(in the meantime having lost weight, grew a mustache, and changed my wardrobe), and while I was walking from the beach, this maroon van pulls up and this guy asks me if I wanted to Blankety Blank Blank. I recognized the guy right away as one of the guys who used to taunt me. I was soooo tempted to remind him who I was, but I just ignored him. I later found out that him and the other guy had been bonking each other for years.
Even though I really am Gay, it reminds me of how hypocritical they were. They taunted me about being Gay so that people wouldn't put two and two together about their own Gayness.
Us Humans can be interesting creatures!!!
