    yesterday an announcement was made at my local con. and I thought I`d share it.

    the watchtower announced that work on the new CD-ROM is in progress and we can expect it at the end of this year.
    unlike the other versions you can`t get away with win 3.1, you`ll now need at least win95.
    available languages: the one already available + tjech and japanese.
    some of it`s features:

    - one window (instead of several)
    - direct printing (no need to transfer to a wordprocessor)
    - some kind of pronounciation thingy (need soundcard for this, not in tjech and jap version)
    - includes WT`s from 2000 and 2001

    it was made very clear that the CD-ROM was NOT available for the public, only for JW`s in 'good standing'. (I think this research help is often turned against them )

    greetings,
    greven.

    and this good news of the kingdom needs to be preached and here they are refusing to allow the avg person access to their library of wt publications

    the very same publications that they have been trying to sell to folks for over the last 50 yrs.

    how sad to think that they have the ability to get thier publication out to the public by all these meanst that they refuse to use

    It's about time they made it so you could print directly without transferring it to a word processor. I wonder if they are still saying comparable CD ROMs sell for $50 or more?

    JT that was really funny but true.

    as soon as I get my hands on it I can copy it and send to people for the cost of a blank cd and post&shipping.
    I think I`ll order two: one in dutch (my native language) and one in english. both can be copied.

    I'd love a copy - my last one was a 1993 or 1995 - whatever it is it will not run on Win2K.

    I will do the same. When and if I get the CD, I'll copy it, and send a copy to all who "thirst for life's water, free". LOL!

    I don't understand why they don't sell the cd and other rags from their website. The only answer to their not letting the CD get into the general public's hands has got to be the ease in which apostates can reference, then shoot down their doctrines.

    AWWWWW, CRAP!

    When it comes available, let me know. I can setup an FTP site... but of course only for transfers that are legal.

    Greven this rocks!

    But I think my time-honored technique of getting the issues at the local donut shop is the better solution!
