With today's technology every WT article ever written (including images) could fit on a single DVD.
If all these articles are truly "The Truth" why not publish every one of them on their website, or have a torrent?
i seem to recall the earlier versions of watchtower cd-rom containing books from the 50's and 60's [life everlasting in the freedom of the son's of god - babylon the great has fallen - etc].
i have no cd predating 2001 now in my possession - and looked at that one today doing research, finding that virtually nothing pre-1970 is there [except the revised/altered 'truth' book].. is my memory faulty on this?
could it be that they just 'retired' the older pubs innocently?

i mean, is there really any scientific evidence to support their existence?.
is it used as a scare tactic of thewts?.
and i suppose if one doesn't believe in god, a belief in satan and demons and angels for that matter would be contradictory... im not sure what i believe now but would love to hear everyone's thoughts..
@Chariklo
They were spirits. The only question is were they demons? In my own opinion they were demons (but that could be influenced by my JW background).
@ziddina
The searching part possible. But there's just too many other aspects that were beyond her control (e.g. 3 sons). And no, she wanted to postpone the wedding for another year.

It's an easy topic to dismiss if you've never had dealings with demons. And if you're the type looking for a scientific experiment to proove it, you'll never find one.
My wife played an ouija board when she was 14 years old. At first she thought it was a joke. She asked questions about her future, and they described many details about her future life, including her husband (me). Everything they said was spot on including my height, weight, features, the year we got married, number of children, and many other details.
So, yes. In my opinion they do exist.
i watch porn as much as the next man but recently stumbled on the history of jehovah's witnesses.
i was expecting it to be apostate but sadly it was not.
normally i would just turn it off but now i am hooked.. .
@slimboyfat
Maybe it was different where you're from? A brother I knew mentioned the CTR pyramid measurements (for 1914) to others, then questioned about obvious subliminals in the literature (Revelaion red book, and older Watchtowers). He was disfellowshipped shortly after that.
i met a lady last week, we like each other, she flirted with me but i have not asked her out for date.
she is very pretty but i ran a background check on her.
she got arrested for possession of marijuana last year.
Can you get a criminal record for doing unauthorized background checks?

The funny thing is I know brothers busted for serious porn habits and they didn't even get public reproof. Yet if you get caught with almost ANY material about the JWs history (inlcuding seeking older publications) you'll be DF'd for sure, most likely labeled with the big 'A' (for apostate).
The only exception is if you have the latest 'official' JW history (no more than 10 years old).
what are the unwritten rules and standards that make some people here cool, others not.. saying "just be yourself" is a lie!
i see many people being themselves who start an interesting thread and have 6 comments (5 being their own), while others post "cheeseburgers" and the thread last for days.
lol.. .
It's all about the number of posts. Every forum/group is the same, those who have less posts are inferior. Like the difference between an un-baptized publisher, and an elder or a CEO and a casual employee.
