Today many of WT books are stored in boxes and others I donated them as they are not important in my life anymore. I prefer to read interesting staff then a bunch of crap and nonsense.

Watchtower Library
by Paul Bonanno inin the early 1980s together with my brothers we decided to started collecting watchtower literature and have them neatly in a library at home.
with the help of our father he gave us all the books bought during the years that he had stored in a big wooden box.. after purchasing all the literature that we had missing from the kingdom hall we decided to write letters to the world headquarters of jehovah’s witnesses in brooklyn new york as well to the british and australian branch office.. unfortunately none of our requests bear fruit as they informed us: “it is doubtful whether they are available anywhere in the world….” (ca february 23, 1983); “unable to supply the old publications you request.” (sa: sg september 20, 1983) “we will keep your letter on our files….”(sa: sg january 22, 1983).. during the years we managed to obtain many of these early books going back to 1879 when this religious organization was started.. through barbara anderson we learned that in 30 columbia heights building new york they had a warehouse storage where they kept many old literature which don kommers the assistant of vern wisegarver was responsible for.
through these publications we learned what exactly was written by charles russell and joseph rutherford regarding predictions that never came to be.

The JWs do not “discourage” you from having a library in fact you are encouraged to have one. But when it comes to try to obtain these books it’s not easy and the Headquarters and Bethels (UK and Australia) at least from my personal experience did not help in this although every year they are donated with libraries of members who passed away or decided to hand them to the Branch.
They told us that they will keep our request on their file but nothing ever materialize. We obtained our old books (Russell & Rutherford era) through asking directly old timers in UK and during holidays in England. As well buying them through second hand bookshops.

With the help of our father he gave us all the books bought during the years that he had stored in a big wooden box.After purchasing all the literature that we had missing from the Kingdom Hall we decided to write letters to the World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Brooklyn New York as well to the British and Australian Branch office.
Unfortunately none of our requests bear fruit as they informed us: “it is doubtful whether they are available anywhere in the world….” (CA February 23, 1983); “unable to supply the old publications you request.” (SA: SG September 20, 1983) “we will keep your letter on our files….”(SA: SG January 22, 1983).
During the years we managed to obtain many of these early books going back to 1879 when this religious organization was started.

last day at the kingdom hall
by ex-Special Pioneer inprologue.
get out shouted the audience you must be ashamed of yourself.
the crowd was in a hysterical state, every time that we tried to say something we were silenced by the clapping and screams which got louder and louder of the majority of the two hundred people in attendance.

Hi Bobbeh,
Above find attached the photo of my graduation from the Ministerial Training School. That’s Peter Ellis handing the Certificate signed by Fred W. Franz (he was the 4th President of the Watchtower Org at that time).

That was the Kingdom Hall that in September 1994 the story that was told by “ex-Special Pioneer” or my name Paul Bonanno happened.
