That was way back then, dear Sher'f (peace to you, dear friend!).
When I first became a JW, many had these "scripture carrying cases" (and, of course, many were making and selling them):


Then, I would see these smallish bookbag "scripture carrying case":

But soon, it became these larger "scripture carrying cases":

And, then... it was this kind of "scripture carrying case" (which these always reminded me of being - I couldn't ever get the thought out of my head when I saw one - LOLOL!):

I kept thinking, "Ooh, one day, it's gonna be
this "scripture carrying case" (because, y'know, they need to carry all of that malarkey, and there's a LOT of it)":

Well, given their appetite for getting and holding onto [other people's] money, I should'a know'd they would find a way around the injury and/or workers comp lawsuits
that one would surely bring (then, again, as someone once said, "Sheep are notoriously stupid," so maybe not - I am sure there are a plethora of injured JW from quickbuilds to working at Bethel/the Farms out there).
But regardless, they now have this (which hold quite a bit of malarkey):

And that's NOTHING compared to what they lay out on tables - LOLOLOLOL!
Thanks for sharing that and, again, peace to you (and your fam)!
YSFS of Christ,
