I have seen several mentions of Watchtower CD's. Where might I obtain one? (or several?)

You need to find a JW that can order/get one for you from the Kingdom Hall.
Or, there may be someone on this board willing to give/sell you theirs.
How are they organized? Is it a CD a year? a decade? I'm trying to think of someone that I can ask. I can't ask my family (they will think I'm interested again and drive me up the wall) Are the CD's altered in any way from the way the articles originally appeared? (GB rewriting?)
Thanks,

Since on many occasions, the Watchtower and Awake bound volumes have been altered from what was originally printed, and newer editions of hard covered books have also been altered compared to the originals, who's to say that the CDs haven't also been tampered with?
They call it "New LIght".....I call it deception.

Drop me an Email and I'll send you a copy. (That's if you cant find anyone closer who can send you one)
I have observed that while Jehovah's Witnesses in general are glad
to place literature with people, there are certain things that will
trigger suspicion in the JWs when people they don't know ask for them.
One of these "trigger" items is the WT Library CD-ROM.
In fact, I would say that, if you are not a member of the
congregation, the literature counter will not order a copy
of the CD for you, or if there are CDs available, the "Brothers"
will be first to get them.
If you do ask for a CD, the JWs want to know, "Why do you want
such an extensive collection of WT literature?" They ask this
because they know anyone who has not gone through their standard
6 month indoctrination of "Bible" studies using WT books, would
most likely not be interested in receiving such a massive collection
of WT thought.
If the WT REALLY wanted to get the literature into hands of people,
they could do a mass mailing of the WT-CD directly by mail.
AOL has been sending out CDs for years now, so it could be done.
But the WTS will never do it. Too much information without any
controlling guidance from a study conductor!

P.S. The first WT Library Cd came out in 1993, then there was
a 1995 version. These two are all the ones that I am familar with.
For what other years did the WTS produce a WT library Cd?
VM44:
There has also been a 1998 version, my copy of which I unfortunately used as a beer mat, and ruined.
The 1995 version I have does not seem to install on my pc, running Win ME.
Consequently, I'm starving for spiritual food. Not!!!

I know where you can hook up with a copy for your own personal back-up use.
hippikon- thanks! If I don't hear from someone in the U.S. I'll let you know :o)

I think they are out quite close to once a year but not definitely.
If you want one now, you have to sign for it at the hall to promise that you won't make any copies - I know, the person who gave me my copy told me
