I wish the information to be available for lookup on wikipedia.org/wiki/Awake! and wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Watchtower now.
That way local elders denying any upcoming changes could be indicted of lying to the r&f. Knowing they got a letter from mother and denying its existence in conversation (confidential, privileged information), they could be gently referenced to wikipedia. That in itself would be extraordinary. I wouldn't doubt at all that they use spiritual warfare tactics on the r&f, should that subject come up in converstion.
After all:
In harmony with Paul’s example, we may at times make limited use of quotations from secular history, encyclopedias, or other accepted reference works. For example, an appropriate quote from a respected source might help to convince a non-Witness about the origin of certain false religious practices or observances.

When they are done redesigning their website 2.0, laying off the design team and keeping a minimum maintenance staff will reduce expenditures. As further cost cutting measures down the road are inevitable they will invest heavily in top notch automatic writing software, recycling redundant WT & AW text building blocks ad nauseam.
May the end come soon while hunkering down in Wallkill.

Room 215:
Yet, really, how many pages do they need to scream "do more" "don't watch porn," "send us your money;" forget about university!" "shorten that skirt!" etc. etc. ad nasueum?
Excuse me, ma'am... your Freudian slip is showing.

TheListener:
How many dubs do you think will spend the time to read the articles published on the web? The Society will have to push the articles by using them in the Ministry School and Service Meetings
Maybe the next version of the Watchtower Library CD program will include pop-up ads linking to the website .

Do you realize they will be literally just 8 sheets of paper? That's it! Eight sheets of paper.
Actually, that would be just 4 sheets of paper.

You're right, it is really only four sheets folded in half. Really quite pathetic.
I was trying to visualize this new "magazine" by opening a WT to the 16th page and holding that half in my hand. . . I don't see how the publishers or anyone else will view these things as legit magazines. They were pushing it as it was.
Looking forward to the special announcement and viewer reaction this afternoon!

After reading the announcement ... in the closing prayer the brother thanks Jehovah for the new arrangement with the magazines and how it is evident that Jah is speeding things up so the Good News can be declared more quickly and others can come to the organization for salvation before the end comes.

@Zoiks... You are right... Jehovah's Chariot is being downsized from a "Mini" to a "Fit For Two". Just saying, .....I mean with gas prices and all.... Well.. I can see the need for downsizing and the need to cut down in costs for the creator of the universe... I am sure that universe expansion cost are not what they use to be.... with Wall Street and all.... :)
