Here in the UK they have four homes, though the reviews and inspections in past years has not been great.
A look at the Companies House website makes me wonder just how it "functions"

forgive the insensitivity of this but does the wt imagine the "resurrected" bodies of the dead will have useless genitalia?
or will the humans 2.0 have the smooth appearance of a ken doll or the nipple-less breasts of a barbie.
any breasts at all?
In the old 1958 Paradise book there are two pictures, one in the Garden of Eden the other in the New World. I cannot remember the page numbers and the book is tucked away in the loft.
In the GoE picture we see Adam, a Cock (eral) and a Squirrel with a couple of nuts.
In the New World picture we see the Cock (eral) is there along with the Squirrel still with his two nuts.
This was supposed to indicate that we will still be as we are now, so to speak.
Perhaps someone can post the two pictures for those unfamiliar with old paradise book.

when i browse jw org, the following years of watchtower magazines are missing from the drop-down menu:.
1987 - 1990.
1997-1998.. i dont want to install any libraries from jw org because of spyware concerns.. are these years included in the downloadable libraries?.
I've just gone on jw dot org online library and they seem to be there. Has anyone else actually checked?
Publications — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY (jw.org)
Just one year 1987 as an example

just watched november broadcast very different order to the leaked agm .
be good if someone did a deep dive on the difference and why the changes?
i didn’t time the items but it should be easy to see if edited?.
Ozzie 🍷(of the “truth shall set you free class”)
My old dad bought "The truth shall make you free", "The kingdom is at at hand" and another book which I cannot remember. Three books for 5/- or 25p in "modern" money. This was in the mid 1940's.
For the Ministry School "Theocratic Aid for Kingdom Publishers" was used until "Qualified to be Ministers" was released in 1955. I remember using this until the 1980's when it was replaced by "Benefit from Theocratic Ministry School education" and so the downhill trend turned into freefall.
Modern JW's wouldn't know where to start with such texts.

It's now on jdub dot org and says two sisters were killed.

so they mentioned noah couldn’t have preached to all the population back before the flood.
do you think they might start using common sense regarding not being able to get every animal type on the ark from the whole world?.
maybe the poor sloth from south america didn’t have to crawl all the way?
The really crazy thing about the flood account is that it supposedly happened just 4,393 years ago, or in 2370 BCE.
The WT Society accept that animals "evolved" or whatever from the two of each "kind" in the ark. However, many animals such as lions and tigers were well known in Roman times, so they had evolved in just 2,000 years.

Very sad and also very worrying.

so i have an eye out for a couple of the more nefarious jw books from the past.
i look on ebay etsy and others.
i see that the older books are selling for a good price.
Here in the UK there is on Ebay Ray Franz's two books for sale, Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Cristian Freedom. £70.00 the pair though after I have viewed them I had an offer of £56.00 if I bought them within a couple of days.
The same seller had other WT books and they are not cheap.

I doubt that we will ever learn the real truth behind this move. You can be sure though that accountants and/or lawyers will have had an input to the decision.
