The Quiet One:
In 1993, Watch Tower of Pennsylvania produced the Watchtower Library on CD-ROM, an electronic compilation of most of its religious materials published since 1950. Subsequent up-dated versions have been released (collectively, the “CD-ROMs”).
Only The Watchtower magazine goes back to 1950 on the CD-ROM. Other publications only go back to 1970.
Watchtower Library on CD-ROM was released biennially from 1994 to 2002, and annually since 2004, each time titled as the edition for the year prior to release.
