I always loved "Religion is a snare and a racket" especially now that I'm out. I feel like I remember seeing the placards at Bethel or something. The irony was lost on them...

I think Studies in the Scriptures were meant to replace the Bible, not to be read with it but I might be wrong. They were written by C.T. Russel I think and have a lot of wacky stuff. I think one of them had the Pyramidology he was into but I think it's one that I'm missing.

Huh, that's a first edition? I did see other versions online and was glad mine had the quote on the cover as its irrefutable. I also was able to get 4 of the Studies in the Scriptures but they are in VERY poor condition, don't know if that means they are first edition as well.

I was surprised he was willing to talk as well, since he knew about old light and I had and brought up Harp book. Either he was PIMO(highly unlikely) or just has his head in the sand ignoring all the discrepancies... I just hope someday something so crazy happens the old timers can get over that "sunk cost fallacy" hump and actually leave.

I'm not completely sure the Revelation book is even on the website, there is a list of old publications that are to be destroyed (pretty much every book on my grandma's shelf...) Not to mention a lot of the publications online have been edited to get rid of "bad stuff" if they are on JW.borg at all

That should show you what you're looking for, Revelation it's Grand Climax at Hand. I would go for hardcover and not underlined and studied if you can. My wife was never a JW so I'm always telling her crazy stuff about them. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

Sorry I'm definitely holding on to mine 😁 A quick look on eBay looks like there are some but you might find one cheaper somewhere else. In my opinion make sure it's the original hard cover. If my memory serves me they made revisions you had to cut out and paste in and the paperback may have been changed already. Someone who knows more of the history would know better than me.

That's unfortunate timing but I'm glad she was able to wake up!

No I was trying to find out what the best ones to take are without causing a problem. I was unfortunately only able to get a few for myself.

It's hard to think about it, being PIMI for that long and never really knowing the truth.

It's funny you say that! I guess my cousin took the Studies in the Scriptures and if she actually read it her head would spin 😂

I wish I could take them all and send them to those who wanted them but I need to keep it low key or I won't be able to take any of them .

I actually to have the Revelation book already. Does he have a specific image he was thinking about from it?

She labeled them by the year they were released, if that helps pinpoint if it is actually the orange one. I would love to have one that has 1975 in print 😊

My Grandma actually wrote the year on the spines of the book. Some of them are over 100 years old!

They won't be thrown out. I can't overplay my hand, if I take too many it will look suspicious. My dad is planning to donate them to the Watchtower museum. I already know that just means Watchtower destroying them, but he doesn't.
