WT has started to put a No Crawl to keep bots off their sites, so it doesn't always work.
That said, Here it is: https://web.archive.org/web/20160928231855/https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/ask/is-homosexuality-wrong/

Performance Impact due to Google Indexing
by Simon injust a heads up in case the site seems slow - you're requests are competing with googlebot because it's being indexed and it's really going at it ... a minute ago there were 40+ instances fired up there were so many requests coming it.
i guess the data doesn't have far to travel so it can hit things hard.
i did have a throttle in place but took it off because i wanted to speed things up a bit ... well, it worked!.

Good! The better indexing will hopefully up the SEO and drive traffic your way. (Hit dat AdSense boi!)
Personally, I like the fact that I'll be able to dig through old posts better. (Like classics from Leolaia or Terry)

Archived so they can never claim they didn't say these things.
Note that in the FAQ, they never address the question directly. Instead they answer a different question, "What does the bible say?".
Newsflash: The Bible is wrong on a great number of things. Slavery, Rape, Human Origins, Heliocentric solar system, Homosexuality, Treatment of women, Genocide....

Will they change the Yearbook format?
by freddo inpure speculation here but i'm wondering if - with the numbers flat-lining - that the gb will stop giving country by country stats, or perhaps at least some of the statistics.. we used to get a monthly stat in the km - then that was "simplified" to "highlights".
only the "good" stuff.
then with the new clam workbook, no stats at all.. i wonder if the yearbook will soon only contain "positive" spun stats.

Correct! Stats are on pages 173-177 of the 2016 Yearbook in PDF format.
