:Has WT Tried to Control its Past?
What do you mean "tried?" It's more like a Corporation-wide dictum. Ask Barbara Anderson how they dealt with their past when she was researching for the Proclaimer's book.

Published expectations have been carefully worded; they weren't "expiration dates".
Etc, etc.
IMHO, this is not "carefully worded". This language is precisely why so many didn't go to college or save for retirement. Others sold their homes and/or decided not to have children.
Many of their libraries have WT publications which are nearly and more than a century old, and all of that is freely available to read there and photocopy. No effort is made to hide this information.
The vast majority of old publications at our KH 'disappeared' when we had a new quick-build. The new library is the size of a broom cupboard so the excuse was there was not enough room for all the old books.
The library is not a 'lending library', you cannot borrow books and the KH is open for about 15 mins before and after each meeting. As for having a photocopier in the KH, no chance. We have only recently got a phone line!

Interesting how the apologist mentions Darwin and Russell in the same breath. Russell was a proponent of some kind of deistic evolution, at least in the case of the lower animals ..... not generally known among JWs today.
