As per the definition of the Society, all dedicated and baptized publishers are ministers. At the end of the baptism talk the speaker tells the baptismal candidates that their loud and clear affirmative answers to the two questions qualify them as ordained ministers of Jehovah God.

No, George, they didn't alter anything. However, the two German files are not bitwise identical (the PDF that's now on JW.org is 221 bytes larger), but the content is one and the same. All the differences I noticed are some portions of text are rendered one-two pixels up or down, but those are counted on one hand for the entire magazine.

January 2012 WT Study edition on PDF pulled from JW.org website
by bnybyt inthe wt study edition is getting a facelift for the new year.. the january issue had been posted on jw.org but.... the boes hadn't received notice by letter of such a change.. the wts likes to play up every opportunity to have a new release.. this time the jw.org techies jumped the gun and went on to post.
the issues for download according to their established schedule.. unfortunately, they went ahead of the fds/gb who too late .
realized the cat was out of the bag, sort of saying.. well, it got pulled off the website, for now at least.. what's so secretive about it?.

I believe the wider margins are there for the brothers to be able to note down stuff easier during the time they take to prepare for the study. I don't believe there will be shorter study articles than in the last 3 years. And changing from a layout based on Stone Serif/Sans to Palatino (URW Palladio)/Franklin Gothic is also a good move, since Palladio is a bit lighter than Stone Serif, thus even though there is a bit less space on the page for text, a lighter typeface compensates without disturbing the reader's eyes.

Simplified literature?
by irondork ini've been seeing comments made about this but have not really paid much attention.
when did this program begin?.
i wish i could have been there to hear how the convention speaker presented a dumbed-down version of the watchtower to an arena full of people who have been discouraged from education in the first place.. .

irondork, the simplified study edition of the Watchtower magazine began being published in English on an experimental basis starting with the July 15, 2011 issue and will be published for at least one year, and continued if it is considered useful and fulfilling in its purpose. Second, a brochure was released at this year's district conventions, titled Listen to God and Live Forever. That brochure, intended to replace the brochure Enjoy Life on Earth Forever published in 1982, uses a simple language, but still it has a more simplified edition (without almost any text), titled Listen to God.

What is the best method for making a pdf version of a book?

I'd also go for Adobe InDesign (I've been using it since version 1.5; now I use CS5 [7.x]; some might like Quark XPress, MEPS Composition or other high-end industry-standard page layout software) because you have a very precise typographic control of the material. When reproducing printed material for an electronic version I also set the text using the same fonts as the original, if possible; if not, I use the closest matching font.

Seems like the author of that article is not aware of the Witnesses' recent understanding of the prophecy set out in Matthew 24:34 (namely the 'overlapping' generations of annointed), which wipes out much of the disillusionment the brothers would have felt if they realized how much the generation of 1914 has been stretched out.
