I did this about 6 months ago too. It was extremely cathartic. It felts soooo good to get rid of it, and what a huge amount of room it made. Now there's enough room for my real theocratic library, where Ray Franz has prime position.
I did salvage some older books, and have bought some others from ebay...references.
All those bound volumes, who needs them? I do have 2005 cd from reexamine.

Badges for Conventions
by ThomasCovenant ineach year name badges are handed out at the kingdom halls for those attending the upcoming district convention.
i have always refused to wear one but this was not a major issue as i would say only about 50% wore them anyway.
however i noticed that as the years went by more and more 'brothers' were wearing them including during the lunch break in the city centre concerned.

Terry, good point, we used to have various people playing the piano or violin with the piano, they used to give an extra tinkle here or there and just make the music a tad more interesting, but as we appreciate, the WTS do not want different or better than what they dish out, even something so simple as music.
Oz, great obsevation on brainwashing. The words. Man, these things plague us for years. Dont worry about what you may have "learned" then unlearned. These catchy little words stay with you for a long time as pointed out.
This is why the WTS is so down on "worldly" music. That stays in your head too. I used to sit in meetings with ELO running rampant, jeff lynne was trying to protect me!!!!!!!!!1 -

So, the other day I was just humming to myself, nothing inparticular then blow me down and inside out, I recognized I was humming a kingdumb song!!!
I nearly pewked!!
Am I alone in this phenomenon? I told my son and he laughed. He had a kingdumb song stuck in his head too!! and was getting a bit cut about it. I told him to listen to ACDC Thunderstruck, then hum a few bars, until it stuck....much better.
.......God save our gracious queen, long live our noble queen, god save the queen....sent her victorious, happy and glorious....long to reign over us, god save the queen!
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright........
These used to give me nightmares too, not any more, I can join in if I want to!!! yay -

What's the BIGGEST LIE you ever heard?
by nicolaou in.
someone i knew stood up at the convention to answer her two baptism questions both with a "yes".
she was having an affair with a married brother at the time.. but i'd top my 'biggest lie' list with four small words; "in the beginning, god"

I wouldnt say it was the biggest by far, butr locally it was significant. We had a golden boy, ex bethelite and a representative of the rbc move in. Well the elders had to move him up the ranks fast, so that he was the PO in five minutes of arriving.
He used to bring the "love" of congos he used to visit on his vacations.
So he brings us the love of blah blah and everyone claps and thinks he is wonderful, except we knew someone who lived there and they hadn't seen him or his precious wife at their meetings at all!! -

Now Brothers........
by geevee inhow many times did the chairman at the meetings address the whole cong as "brothers" where you are?
one [note... one of many] of my peeves was this one guy in particular would always address everyone there as brothers, whether the wore skirts of not.
now brothers, yes that includes the brothers in skirts with long hair and earings..... .

Flamin Hell!!!

Yes it IS pathetic. The attitude goes all the way back, at least to rutherford if not russell.
So what about sitting in the "book" study [yes with the aid of the bible] and having to listen to some dimwit read..if you can call it that [his wife whispering the words to him] and just because he is a "brother" the sisters who can read way better having to stomach it???!!!
BTW thanks for the replies.
