@Blondie: afaik caretakers still live on premises for the halls here. Not sure about the one being sold though, never been there. Looking at the pictures on the website there appears to be an apartment at the corner of the building.
The Netherlands have never been a good field for Watchtower to harvest in having one of the worst ratios of publishers to population in the western world. Too many tulips and not enough wheat.
I dunno...I always thought we had more than enough weed here :-)

Blondie: most of them. Some living close to Belgium will (have to) go to Belgian conventions.

i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.
historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.
i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.

a couple of years ago, i participated in a thread on this site comparing the old nwt (1984) to the new nwt (2013).
i was able to produce a nwt mash up pdf showing the side-by-side differences between the two versions of the nwt.
herethis site claims it will hold the file for download for a long time.
@MMM,
I have previously harvested the WOL contents from JWOrg. They didn't shut me down :-)
So I guess harvesting PDF will also not be a problem.

Watchtower 2011-10: evidently they messed up with history and chronology...again.
History changed from
If Ahasuerus was Xerxes I, the money might have made Haman’s offer more appealing. Xerxes lost a fortune in his disastrous war against the Greeks, evidently before his marriage to Esther.

If Ahasuerus was Xerxes I, the money might have made Haman’s offer more appealing. Xerxes needed a vast store of funds to carry out his long-proposed but ultimately disastrous war against Greece.

So after a first quick look, I have to say: very well done! Thanks!
I noted a lot of changes seem to be just spaces and punctuation (e.g. a dot changed into a comma).
Would it be a lot of work to rerun the diff checker while excluding these (almost certainly) meaningless changes?
It would be much easier to find the really interesting changes.
Also, would you be willing to share the wtlib contents you harvested? A lot of interesting analysis could be done on them :-D
PM me if your public response is no ;-)

Awesome!
I have been thinking about doing something like this from quite some time, never got to it.
I'll be studying your result now :-)
i was 19 and being considered for ms. i went out of town to see my jw girlfriend during co visit and he was so butthurt he decided i wasn't ready!
i thought jehovah decided?
go figure.
And yet here we all are. All left God's Holy Spirit directed Watchtower Organization.
All us filthy apostates will be known sooner or later.
You see, in then end Jehovah took care of those problems. He set things right if we just wait for Him. He won't allow such injustice forever.
And so the dubs think the congregation is really governed by the 2 Big J's.
They'll never know about many 'sins' and dissenters that manage to stay hidden. And the ones that are found out (even after 50 years) are evidence that J-man is keeping his congo clean. Ridiculous.
