I've been visiting this site for awhile now and have been fascinated by many of the posts. I have an aunt in Arkansas who has been trying for decades to get me into the fellowship of the Watchtower. In this course of time I have become very interested in the WTS and their publications, but have yet to fall into their system of thought.
I for the past couple of years have attempted, unsuccessfully, to have them send me the Awake and Watchtower publications. Everytime I ask for a subscription, there's a knock on my door, usually on saturdays, and I have the pleasure of discussing the Bible for extended periods of time, but without a subscription.
I'm working with a devoute JW who's a really great guy. I asked him for some past Awake and Watchtower articles dating back to Oct. 1968 (concerning Christ's appearance coming then in 1975). Without telling him why I was requesting the articles, he said that the WTS had past issues that he could access. However, when we met again, he said that they did'nt go back that far.
Does anyone know how I can retreive old issues and also receive current issues. Thanks for any help
