I saw a whole box of WT and Awake bound volumes on eBay. They're in the USA though.
Also, dont you think Awake! is an ironic title for a Jehovah's Witness magazine?

Hey zeb!
May 22 Awake! of 1969.
(This was removed from public access)
How was it removed? on any reprints it was missing.Ah yes, it was missing from the reprints - oh, but, wait, no....
Only the Watchtower bound volumes were ever reprinted.
And actually, although that project was definitely started - I believe it was probably never finished due to technology overtaking it with the release of the Watchower Library on CD......

Reprint of Watchtower Bound Volumes
What a wonderful provision the Watch Tower Publications Index 1930-1985 is for research and study! However, many brothers do not have in their personal or Kingdom Hall library all the publications referred to in the Index. In order to help provide some of this material, the Society is planning a reprint of The Watchtower bound volumes for the years 1960 through 1979, in English only. These reprints will be produced as we are able to work them into our schedule. It is our intention to make these available five volumes at a time. Orders for the years 1960 through 1964 will be accepted during November. -

Didn't the Watchtower issue an apology for these statements around 1980?

If it was the same kind of apology they made when they layed off hundreds of old time Bethlites then it wont mean shit.
They put a non GB speaker up there and said "many of you have served for many years, even giving up the chance of having children... you knew what that meant to serve Jehovah"...

"It is to be regretted" are not the words of an apology.

darkspilver - You're calling Zeb out for what? He was not even remotely rude or deceptive in any way, shape or form. You DO know what it means to call a person out, right?

It's ironic... a JW would read that now and say with a very mild hint of embarrassment 'oh well that was obviously a mistake and with hindsight a little irresponsible' ....meanwhile they are building a bunker..

old cd's of the library
The first WT CD Library actually only contained the Awake! going back to 1980 - a couple of years later it was expanded to go back to 1970 - but no further - and that hasn't changed, the current CD goes back to 1970.
Sure you can complain all you want that they've decided not to go back further on the CD (and I wish they would) but you can't complain they've removed something that didn't exist in that CD format in the first place
Yes it is an important quote - which is why I took the time to scan and upload the full article earlier on this thead - here is a new link to all 15 pages, just in case anybody hasn't got it yet

The Compact Disc—What Is It All About?
Watchtower Library CD-ROM: The Watchtower Society has always seen fit to use appropriate technological developments in advancing Kingdom interests. In the past the Society was among the first to use color motion pictures, radio networks, and the portable phonograph in proclaiming the good news. Now, the Watchtower Society has released in English the Watchtower Library - 1993 Edition. We feel sure it will prove to be a marvelous tool for Bible study and research.
This new release is truly a library. It contains the text, in electronic form, of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References, the annual bound volumes of The Watchtower from 1950 to 1993 and Awake! from 1980 to 1993, the two-volume Bible encyclopedia Insight on the Scriptures, and numerous other books, booklets, brochures, and tracts published by the Watchtower Society since 1970. In addition, it contains an index to all Watchtower publications from 1930 to 1993.

If they are so proud of their 'heritage' shouldn't everything ever written by the 'society' now be available either online or dvd?

Yeah, good point, would make it easier - problem of course is the doctrine changes
