It probably won't last. The WS sends letters to sites like these asking them to close up shop. They cite things such as plagarism and the watchtower.org being the only online source for witnesses. If the owner is agreeable, the site will come down.

Someone posted a link & password on an earlier thread. The site contains past talks from the assemblies, DCs, zones, COs etc.

It is the place to get fair and balanced information by, for and about Jehovah's Witnesses.
It is an official site of Jehovah's Witnesses. Afterall, what is more official than
the meetings and assemblies themselves?
The requirement of the user and password is for people to respect the provisions. -

I don't fully agree that the best source of fair and balanced information on a high control controversial religious cult is from their own teachings. It would certainly form part of an exhaustive study, but to call it 'the place' is inaccurate IMHO.
It is an official site of Jehovah's Witnesses. Afterall, what is more official than
the meetings and assemblies themselves?No it's not. From www.watchtower.org "This is the authoritative Web site about the beliefs, teachings, and activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. is a legal organization in use by Jehovah’s Witnesses."
The requirement of the user and password is for people to respect the provisions.
Seems a strange way for a not-for-profit religious publishing house to behave given there is no incremental cost or loss of revenue associated with making this information widely available. Most reputable charities don't restrict access to their content - rather they encourage it.
