After so many responses, it is difficult to find the right words without sounding like a broken record. So I will sum it up the simplest way I know how...
Thank you.

Stan,
I considered simply burning it, however, with all things there is a value.
For me, it was the discovery FOR MYSELF that all that I had read in the "apostate" literature was true. Sometimes, you just have to see it for yourself, no photocopy can do.
Rutherford is quite a study in himself. Some of his early words (in the "Millions now living..." book/sermon) were inspiring, especially as compared to his later "hate filled" drivel. Methinks he had quite a time adjusting when he was not as accepted as Russel once was.
OrangeFatCat, I do not know what a "fair" value is for this collection. I know what the FreeMinds site "asks" for similar books, and I know (roughly) what I paid to aquire these. If you have a figure in mind that you would spend to aquire them, please let me know. This is why I did not post an "asking" price for it, I figure this will be negotiated in private.
Mary, Good luck with the sales of the wheat and beans. Perhaps you can make a fine malt beverage from them to enjoy if you are unable to sell them.
I realized that my email address was not open, so I created an account for this board, you can reach me at [email protected] if you want to.

Watchtower study vs. Bible study
by dreamcatcher invery urgent please help.
i am looking for scriptures that refer to the correct way of worship (and i am sure it will not include reference to watchtower material).. i am currently studying the watchtower with some jw's in our area, but have serious reservations about their lack of communal worship that does not include complete readings from the bible.
reading a chapter and then using the watchtower to back it up instead of using the bible to backup the teachings of the watchtower).. the watchtower is not divinely inspired so how on earth am i going to get anything of value out of it.

I need to find a religion that I am comfortable with and therefore need to pick each one apart.
If I may, why do you feel this way? What tells you that you "need a religion"?
These are the questions that I would be asking myself, and did many years ago.

bchamber,
This includes the two different copies of the Emphatic Diaglott by B. Wilson that they published. Did you know there were two different ones?
Would you be so kind as to describe the primary differences between them? Is it just a printing date, or is there other "changes" within it that might be interesting?
Thanks!

It would be much easier to promote a "Bill Bowen Action" figure, than to defend a JW/GB INACTION figure!
But, I must say that You Know's constant "Bill is out for selfish gains" mentality to be fraudulant at best, and the only intention that he has with that mentality is to try and divert attention from the effort itself.
You Know,
Please provide one scrap of evidence to support your theory that Bill (or anyone that supports the SilentLambs movement) is out for Selfish gains. Please Prove that there intentions are anything but honerable in thier fight to bring some "change" to the WTBS, and or support to those that are victims.
Actually, nevermind. We already know that you cannot. You have yet to prove anything that you have ever stated.
Have a nice day!

A classic case of WT dishonesty.
by caspian inthe following piece of misleading wt thinking was emailed to me recently by a close friend see what you think.
the following words are plaguerised from another person, but i did feel they should be posted.

There are certain words which are "untranslatable" in EVERY language.
Well said, lisa.
Oddly enough, this is absolutely true for the majority of PROPER NAMES.
Even those that have "translations", the translated name is NOT the "name" of the original person.
For example: Anthony and Antonio... while the name is the "same" as translated, if you called me "Antonio" I would not know you were addressing me, "Anthony".
However, in nearly all Languages, a "Title" (GOD, LORD, God, Lord, etc...) almost allways means the same thing.
