Not yet - this was a discussion about who are the JWs (history), how we became witnesses, the history of the JWs in Malta, how my father became a witness in Australia and went to Malta in 1974. Our childhood and teenage years. How we became active in this organization. (Special Pioneer & Elder) our Crisis of Conscience and waking up. Accused of apostasy and disassociating ourselves in 1994 as a family and others. The mandatory shunning etc….

If you see the “Shepherd The Flock of God” October 2022 - Chapter 8 paragraph 38 (Announcement of Deletion) it states the following: Announcements of deletion, including those because of resignations, should read as follows: “Brother [name of person] is no longer serving as an elder (a ministerial servant).”
The announcement of Anthony Morris was exactly as above mentioned.

Hi Earnest,
Thanks for your message. I know who they are as I have been doing research on both of them. I am more interested to find first hand experiences of individuals who knew them personally as both today are deceased.

Watchtower Library
by Paul Bonanno inin the early 1980s together with my brothers we decided to started collecting watchtower literature and have them neatly in a library at home.
with the help of our father he gave us all the books bought during the years that he had stored in a big wooden box.. after purchasing all the literature that we had missing from the kingdom hall we decided to write letters to the world headquarters of jehovah’s witnesses in brooklyn new york as well to the british and australian branch office.. unfortunately none of our requests bear fruit as they informed us: “it is doubtful whether they are available anywhere in the world….” (ca february 23, 1983); “unable to supply the old publications you request.” (sa: sg september 20, 1983) “we will keep your letter on our files….”(sa: sg january 22, 1983).. during the years we managed to obtain many of these early books going back to 1879 when this religious organization was started.. through barbara anderson we learned that in 30 columbia heights building new york they had a warehouse storage where they kept many old literature which don kommers the assistant of vern wisegarver was responsible for.
through these publications we learned what exactly was written by charles russell and joseph rutherford regarding predictions that never came to be.

I still have all studies in the scriptures (different versions) and Rutherfords rainbow collection along with yearbooks and bound volumes of Watchtower and Awake, Consolation and Golden Age and Reprint of Zions Watchtower.
I just keep them in boxes and occasionally I reference them when I am not able to find what I need online.
i got rid of many from the 80s.
Since I was an elder I have various copies of the elders book (Pay Attention to Yourself ... and the 3 volumes prior) as well the Pioneer Book (Shinning as Illuminators 2 versions) and much more.
