Wow! Amazing! Teary figured that you might be working on something big, since he hadn't see you post anything for awhile!
Thank you! :D
*hugs*
old theology quarterly's*there will be some duplicate files because one file might be in black and white, and its duplicate will be in color.
another duplicate might be a better scan than the other file.
you choose which you want to keep and which you want to discard.

just on the off chance someone is interested in hard copies of the following publications (digital version tend to change), i thought i'd make the offer before making the trip to the recycling center.
kingdom ministries- '94-'97, '00, '01.
bound volumes - '84w, 85w, 90w, '93-'97w+a, '99w, '00-'01w+a (2 sets of 97 w+a).
Got a PM from Teary too :(
anybody got the full year's worth of awakes for 1967 that they would be willing to share?.
.
the 1967 awake set is the only year that i am lacking before 1970. i've seen a partial set floating around, but never the full year though .
hugs for Atlantis!

Teary could keep himself busy scanning those. We don't have nearly enough scanned KM's and yearbooks.
how many are there on this board that are also still in the society, especially acting in a position of leadership?
i think it's pretty funny they always talked about how "jehovah would root out the wickedness" yet theres people on here getting invites to "zone visits" that many other blind and faithful people weren't invited to.. .
if any of you are on your way out and have the ability to give a talk before you go, you should cratifly morph a talk into discussion about the origins of the society, by the time its obvious what you're doing you will have given 100-150 people seeds of doubt before they yank you off the stage, and the fact that they would be physically escorting you off the stage when you were simply talking about the "founder" of the society should be alarming and suspicious enough to those watching.. .
Fear of losing friends and family (and even fear of being killed) never stopped Jesus, Paul, the apostles or any other 1st century disciple from openly declaring their faith and their beliefs.
So what does that say about some of the people posting on this thread?
also posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.
(some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).
obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.
Wind chimes – nobody cares.
"Indian" corn on your door – corn belongs in your mouth, not on your door.
Wreaths on your door – they don’t do Christmas.
A single candle or fake candle in each window – either a holiday thing or an open invitation to robbers.
Dreamcatchers – blatantly spiritistic.
Smurfs – nobody cares.
Harry Potter stuff – witchcraft, occult, ect.
Lord Of The Rings stuff – nobody really cares that much.
Fairies, unicorns, mermaids, other "magical" creatures – nobody really cares.
Disney movies – nobody cares.
Anything with the word "magic" in it, even if it was just something cute for kids –cute or not it is still occult.
Jumanji – nobody cares.
Horror movies – disgusting and pointless.
Rated R movies – you don’t need gratuitous sex, drugs, language and violence to have a good movie.
Heavy metal, rap, country, rock (you get the idea) – the throw country on this list? Really? Total distortion.
Other versions of the Bible – one of the more obvious lies.
Religious books not by the society – why would they want Islamic religious texts if they aren’t followers of Islam?
Pokemon and other anime – not many care.
Dragons – good riddance to them. Like snakes except 100x worse.
Skulls – why would you want a bunch of skulls lying around anyways?
Yin yangs – Eastern religious symbols.
Peace signs – not many care.
Horn jewelery – why on earth would somebody want to wear horns on their heads? What are they teaching young girls these days?
Anything religious such as statues, icons, ect. – they don’t do idolatry.
Anything considered "pagan" – a natural thing to avoid for Christians.
Aliens – lots of Witnesses love the movie E.T.
Angels, even the cute cherubs – where did the list maker get this idea?
In some areas, heart shapes are considered pagan, same with stars – maybe on a different continent and in a different culture, but not in the U.S.
A More Concise Guide for Dressing as a Witness:
Women - don't dress like sluts.
Men - don't dress like slobs.
Both - dress modestly and respectfully.

@Berean
The partial 1967 set that was posted a long time ago has those missing bits: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qy45oi
It might take some creativity though in merging the two files together to make a truly complete year.
Also, I didn't think that there was a 1946 -- Teary was under the impression that the Awakes only went back to 1947 >_>
=edit=
Scratch that, you were right. There are awakes for August-December of 1946...and here Teary thought that his collection was finished!

"Teary, why must you review and approve requests for this information that you seek freely here?"
Teary doesn't really see the difference. Haelcer, who is the owner of the just shared Awake set, was not forced to share it with us. He heard our request, reviewed it and decided to approve it (and we are grateful to him for it!).
Similarly, a person to can make a request of Teary for anything in his library, and Teary will review it and probably approve it (heck, Teary has helped out Doug Mason with some materials before, and he is certainly nowhere near being "pro-Witness"). It is only a rare and extreme case where Teary will say no to somebody. And besides, some requests are more time consuming than others, and Teary doesn't always have a bunch of time to be spending digging through materials like that :/

Thank you Haelcer!
You are a wonderful, beautiful person for sharing that link with us!
