There are 78 WTS publications listed on amazon.com. I believe many of them are there because ppl are trying to sell used copies. (They probably count as placements when they turn in their field service time.) Most of them do not have reviews posted yet, so have fun!

(FYI, if you use your current Amazon ID to create a review, be aware that any identifying info you enter will show on the review unless you set it as private. Go into your Amazon account profile and set it to use a pen name instead of your "Real Name TM" and make any registries or wish lists private.)

Here is the list of books: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=s_sf_b_as/104-0204743-9909510?index=stripbooks&field-author=&field-title=&field-subject=&field-asin=&field-publisher=watchtower&url=field-binding%3D&field-age=&field-language=&field-ignore-date=during+0+3000&field-dateop=during&field-datemod=0&field-dateyear=3000&field-dateyear=&rank=%2Brelevancerank&x=18&y=6 If that link doesn't work, just do an "advanced search" and search by publisher.

Idea: Find out from your local public library where to donate books. Here are some books you can order quite cheaply and donate to your library anonymously. In your order, enter the shipping address of your local library instead of your home. Your library isn't going to know who sent the book. (Tip: Put "attention--donations" on the 2nd address line so it gets routed to the correct person.)

You can donate used books to your library, and if you're in the US and select US Media Mail, it is usually under $3 to ship....so you can do a good deed for under $8. Examples:

Jehovah's Witnesses: Answered Verse by Verse From $3.50 http://product.half.ebay.com/Jehovahs-Witnesses_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ603776
Facts on Jehovah's Witnesses From $2.48 http://product.half.ebay.com/Facts-on-Jehovah-Witnesses_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ532134
Jehovah of the Watchtower From $3.95 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-listing/0871232677/ref=dp_olp_2/104-0204743-9909510?%5Fencoding=UTF8

My library system's catalog is online. I looked up the pro-JW books & donated 3 books to the 3 library branches that have the most pro-JW books. I purposely selected 3 different books to send so someone could borrow the others via inter-library loan.

Rebel8, I really like your idea of posting snarky reviews of WTBS books at amazon.com Here are my own efforts. Probably won't be available to view before Feb. 2 or thereabouts.

Cheers

OMG Gently, your reviews are dead on! I got some great laughs--thanks, I needed that!

Yet another retread of the "Core JW Doctrines for Dummies" concept, this is actually more or less readable. Suitable for, oh, Wally Cleaver after the Thorazine kicks in. Thin, dry, and unchallenging, but at least not extremely muddled.

Hi Rebel,

I'm still having problems trying to get the 'Are JW's Rational' brochure to work out.

If anyone has this in a ready to print format could you please pm me? I have tried different programs and such and it still I can't get it to work out. Too bad the guy I could ask for help probably wouldn't appreciate them! hahaha, so he's no help.

I emailed it to you a few days ago. Didn't you receive it?
