SINIS- Good thread, good point. Exactly. Due to the enormous turnover of JW's exiting and then newly trained JW's coming into the org. what you say is true as the WT society has already ditched many of their older views from the first half of the 1900's. Hopefully some will smell a rat and jump off the WT society's sinking ship
In the next ten years the JW "history" will only extend back to 2000

It'll happen. When the vintage physical publications become rare as hen's teeth, the sheep will only have the CD-ROM to feed off of. JW kids will be even more lazy and won't want to dig that deep for the real truth. Pretty soon, the JW website will be the portal to the internet for ALL of their followers; think "watchtower.google.com". Cleaned up and safe from the apostate thinking, the portal will only allow good wholesome information. Remember that Yellow pages catchline? "Let your elders do the thinking".

Eventhough the WBTS does NOT want you to learn the ways of the information super highway, they are in fact hoping most rely on this, ie CDs, and other electronic formats for their works. The new publications will be changed not to reflect the old "ways" - its a win win for the GB...

The most uncomfortable but compelling realization most of us have when we leave the organization is this: The end we humans face is not the end of this system of things but the end of our individual lives. As the maxim goes, the only things we know for sure are death and taxes.
