every year i install the wt library on cd or dvd to my wife's laptop.
the 2015 dvd seemed no different than normal but today when she opened it up it said updates are available and to download updates.
it updated to 2016 magazines,and study articles.etc.
As of the 2015 DVD release, the plan is to release updates twice a year: in July and in January.
The current update added the 10 Questions brochure, the study edition of Mark, the Glossary, and all the 2016 periodicals dated until June 2016 (The Watchtower, Awake! and the Meeting Workbooks)
The old, out-of-print publications are not affected. The publications that are still in use have their most recent editions (as was always the case) in the library.

has anyone found out who really produces the animated videos of caleb and sophia?
are the made in-house or contracted outside?.
Yes, all audio-video, including Caleb and Sophia, is produced in-house 100%. I beleive they use Autodesk Maya for the animation. I remember a couple of years ago they were scouting for experienced Maya animators through letters sent to circuit overseers. Some of the footage included in the videos is stock footage purchased from external providers (Getty, iStock, Shutterstock etc.), but everything else is produced in Patterson.

this article is sad.
but what amazes me is her jw family is accepting donations or has to resort to the very worldly people they look forward to being destroyed.
the "pre-letter" for the october 4 2015 letter is now posted to the jw.org for elders and it matches what had been leaked.. looks like we can confirm that the preliminary letter and the main letter are legitimate.. unbelievable!.

quote from today's watchtower study article that's being studied at the halls (march 15, 2015, page 24):.
"understanding the illustration of the talents".
"when the master rewards the slaves.".
@Splash: While some of the anointed have already received their heavenly reward as of 1918 and onward (per JW doctrine), it would make sense that the understanding that they would 'communicate the truth' to the ones on Earth has been dropped completely when they revised the definition of the "faithful and discreet slave." A study article in 2009 titled The Faithful Steward and Its Governing Body had already paved the path to the current understanding. The article made it crystal clear rank and file anointed have no special status in the congregation and must submit themselves to appointed elders from among the "other sheep." In recent years there hasn't been any consideration of the role the anointed play before receiving their authority during the great tribulation and the Millenial kingdom.
So 1919 does keep its significance in Watchtower eschatology as the year when Jesus supposedly appointed the 'faithful slave' composed of J. F. Rutherford and his team on the top of the Watch Tower Society. This way, the Governing Body ejected, so to speak, Charles Taze Russell of out of the equation of being part of the "slave," thus distancing the current organization further away from its Bible Student roots or loosening the importance of these roots theologically speaking.

non jw download - all formats & audio.
@leaving_quietly: Yes, since this book is a reworking or reboot of the "Greatest Man" book, most of the text and artwork stems from that book. There are a few completely new illustrations, and even existing ones have been updated or enhanced digitally.
@hoser: While the concept heavily borrows from the "Greatest Man" book, this new rendition of Jesus' biography features a more structured layout (chapters are grouped into units; there is a Scripture index, an index of the parables, and a list of Messianic prophecies in the back matter), uses up-to-date language and features up-to-dae interpretations of the parables and prophetic features.

can anyone tell me what the name of the font style the wts uses for the watchtower cover.
thanks.
a couple of weeks ago someone posted that jw.org accidentally posted the 2015 regional convention release.
i can not fine the thread now.. i saw a picture of it yesterday.
a sister had downloaded the pdf and read it that night.. it is a 16-page brochure entitled "return to jehovah", with a purple background.. it has been designed specifically for inactive ones are those who have been raised around the truth but never baptized.
maybe i'm late but i just discovered that elders now have an email service run on the jw.org domain name.. those emails might contain a treasure trove of very sensitive material regarding rape, molestation, pedophilia cases etc.. the cult keeps getting creepier and creepier.
why would they do that in this day and age, lots of damning stuff in one place?.
Splash: The BOE letters are released in the Documents section.
The Inbox section is for general congregation-related correspondence between the elders, circuit overseer and the branch. It's been there for at least 2 years.
