Hi Guest with questions,
I am pleased you all appreciate the work involved, I have just started on Kingdom Ministry's as well.
Sister fokyc is an average JW and I manage to get the scan of March 15th Mag online by the 6th January, so about 9 weeks before publications date.
The 15th of the month IS NOT to be placed with the public. Only active publishers, bible studies,... ...and ME!
Elders are appointed by 'Holy Spirit', according to a recent talk at Bristol UK Assembly Hall.
