I had a BoM given to me by a guy who was processing out, and I was still a believer, but my testimony was shaky. I kept that thing with me for four years. Marking passages, notes in the margins with commentary, the whole shebang. I had intended to give it to one of my kids. But then I finally completely left and that book was one of the last things to show for my time in the cult. My cellie at the time told me that if the book meant nothing to me anymore, why pass that on to one of my kids? Trashing it was the last goodbye to Joe and his lies. It's better to not share them with my kids in any form. Let the lies just blow away.
