I'm sure the society would rather have people get rid of their original magazines and get the bound volumes or cd-rom.
I agree.. I had no idea that they change material on the cd.. I would never have given away when I moved my bound volumes dating back into the late 70s.. but I was told, oh you don't need those.............you have the CD!!

We have three bookcases in the living room, but only one small one has WT literature on it (as well as some ornaments and our cat and dog's ashes casket...) a bit of it was passed to mum by a JW who died, so we have some older stuff, but no older than the 60's.
My mum doesn't own a single bound volume - I'm not sure why, But she does have one of each of all the mags, tracts and brochures going back to 1985. They used to be stored loose in boxes on the floor of a cupboard until last year when I helped sort them out (there were many doubles which went in the recycling bin) into document wallets (one year of WT or Awake per wallet) and label them and pack them back away again - so I know where to find them if I need to see a quote in print.
I've never heard anyone say you shouldn't keep them though, well no-one's ever said it to her.
Edited to add: I've been asking the elder who still brings mags to mum to bring a CD-ROM (and the recent Great Teacher book), but he either won't or claims to forget - anyone know how to get these other than going to a KH? Have any of the mags had a mail-in coupon for the Great Teacher book and has anyone posted the CD-ROM .iso anywhere? -

Not only do they want to cover their butts on mistakes (right on Walter),
But consider that the ONLY people to purchase special bound volumes are jw's. (There is no public interest in such an item).
It seems reasonable that a cash strapped or frugal jw would simply keep one copy of each magazine and have an unaltered and less costly original set.
Much to the consternation of the watchtower.
