  Why does Teary's opinion on theology matter here?

  Teary has shoveled his opinion (which is constant WT apologism) all over everybody's head and shoulders for about a month and a half now and it still doesnt make a lick of sense. So no, his opinion on theology does not matter here. But it does not give us any motivation to dig up old Awakes for him either.

  And besides, everybody here would benifit from a link to a full 1967 set wouldn't they?

  No, they wouldn't. It was BS in 1967 and it is nearly 45-year-old BS now. We already have references enough for purely historical purposes.

  Actually, it seems that you could care less about real Witness history and real preservation -- all you want is something to bash the Witnesses with and to heck with everything else! To you, if it can't be used to insult the Witnesses then it is worthless.

  But to a real historian and collector, all publications from the past have value and should ideally be digitally preserved.

  My point was that the preservation is already done and does not need to be reposted here again and again by apologist trolls - who do not even have the information in hand themselves anyway.

  Write the Watchtower Society and tell them what you just posted above.

  Teary's point is that the preservation is obviously not done, because a full 1967 PDF set of Awakes isn't available anywhere at the moment (and what was posted of it in the past only covers 3 months).

  p.s. Atlantis posts old publications and magazines all the time (including links to every Awake set except 1967). Are you calling her an 'apologist troll'?

  No. I am calling you an apologist troll.

  It should have been clear in the first place.

  BTW - don't you trust the Watchtower Society to preserve these relics themselves?

  If not, then WHY NOT?

  "No. I am calling you an apologist troll."

  And Teary is calling you a hater troll. This site is techically called "Jehovah's Witnesses.net," so obviously the Witnesses and Witness supporters have just as much right to post here as you do. If you want a Witness free zone, then ex-JWs.net is down the road and to the left.

  "TW - don't you trust the Watchtower Society to preserve these relics themselves?"

  They've already digitized 60 years worth of their publications in the Watchtower Libraries, and things before that (such as Awake volumes) are already available in most Kingdom Hall libraries anyways. So the Society really isn't obligated to do more than that (and with all of the other responsibilities that they are taking care of currently, why would they waste their time with it?). If we want older publications digitized then we mostly do it ourselves.

  Because you have not found a full 1967 Awake pdf does not mean it does not exist. Why don't you stop making such stupid statements and do some bona fide research with information you do have? Make of it what you will.

  First of all, why is this topic and it's posts all hanging over the edge to the right?

  To answer the question by the Op, yes, I do, if you consider the bound volume to be 'a set'.

  Oh ho...so Mr. Shilmer makes a rare appearance? Unfortunately though, he didn't use his post to say much of anything useful. Teary currently has over 740 unique Witness publications in PDF format, and over 300 Witness related works. So yeah, he has a fairly decent understanding of where to find these things. And the fact is, that a 1967 full Awake set just doesn't seem to be available anywhere at the moment (and yes, Teary did check all of the normal, go-to sites for file sharing and archiving). Even this forum's own resident 'rare publications' guru Alantis only had the partial version. So is there a need for a new full scan? Absolutely, because even if some individual somewhere already has one, they obviously aren't sharing it so what good does it do us?
