The insight books were very lightly 'revised' a few years back, nothing major, just getting rid of 'old understandings'. Not available in hard copy anymore. Like has been said, the move is towards 'simplification', or as we call it here: dumbing down. Right now the closest thing to a revised version of the Insight books is the glossary in the back of the RNWT. Instead of the Watchtower Publications Index, now we have the magazine sized kindergarten level Study Guide. There's the Greek Interlinear, King James, etc. versions on the app, but these are just used as digital 'trophy' Bibles, not used seriously by anyone (unless they're waking up).

Disassociate yourself from JWs, and join the Loyal Order of Water Buffalo. They've got a bowling team.
But seriously, YES, trying to wake up a friend, even a close friend can be very risky if done directly. Like DesirousOfChange said, most JWs will go straight to the Elders. They aren't trained to handle any questions that don't follow the script of their publications, and they imagine that the Elders have some extra special experience to 'help' you. If you want to help others wake up while keeping yourself safe, use eyebrow raising information that can be obtained and verified from innocuous sources, especially JW publications themselves. And do so seemingly innocently, that's key!

Dear Brother Gentry:
Please write a marking post as soon as possible and submit a BS-00 form to headquarters. It won't be valid until you go through the proper procedure. After all, things bound on Earth are bound in heaven, so make use of the keys of the kingdom. I will try to get them for you as soon as possible but unfortunately they're on the same keyring as the washroom keys and I locked then inside on Tuesday. Will keep you updated.

Also, it's worth noting it was said that when beards are allowed they need to be "full enough", while Harry's was close to the skin.

No the story is real. I've seen it everywhere, including my local USA news. I'll agree that the criticism itself is "Bollocks".

I honestly thought JWs were one of the last holdouts, and that any like them were other religions. Didn't think I'd see it in a political setting.

Have you ever seen the "Fun Girls" characters on The Andy Griffith Show? That's what this reminds me of, only more extreme 😂
