    These changes were already pretty well known months ago. Now that they are being officially announced in the WT, does that mean that the secret elders ' manual will now be amended to reflect the changes? When we were having this discussion months ago, an amended version of the manual came out, but it did not echo these changes.

    Yes, the October 2024 update of the elder's manual will no doubt reflect these changes. The April 2024 update of the Shepherd book could not have already contained the changes, because it was printed in January (as per the date on the QR code on the back cover), and the changes were announced in March.

    The announcement that advised of the April 2024 revision directly stated that that revision does not include the recent changes to 'disfellowshipping', which would be included in a later revision (to be released in October).

    True, but the announcement did not go into the reason behind it. That is why I explained it.

    In the meantime, the August Watchtower is out in 16 languages. The most recent is Spanish—the first major language for this issue: https://d34ji3l0qn3w2t.cloudfront.net/277518a9-528b-4606-924b-52d3f305d9e0/1/w_S_202408.pdf

    English is officially available, albeit only the formats specifically designed for visually impaired (RTF and BRL). PDF, JWPUB and EPUB still in pending.

    With all the JW changes & adjustments that appear in this new August 2024 Watchtower Study Edition there is one expression missing that normally goes hand in hand when WT comes up with revisions and changes to doctrines and teachings...the missing expression is 'New Light'. Strangely, what is also missing in this August 2024 magazine is any reference to Proverbs 4:18.

    Begs the question: Is the WTBTS finally getting it right & distancing itself from the thousands of times it's misused and it's misapplication of this scripture???

    Yes, the links were disabled, the files were deindexed. None of the 17 languages there were accessible on the AWS Cloudfront are accessible anymore. I suppose they will reindexed when they are ready to be connected to the JW.org Magazines section.
