Smiddy, I am not sure a r & f can get their hands on a KI. Years ago I tried that with my jw and you would have thought I was asking him to get a copy of original manuscripts from a museum! An elder finally let him borrow one but naturally he wouldn't really look at it.
If you find one in a second hand store pick one up.

'There is not one shred of proof against him. It's all calumny. Is that clear?'

My younger brother officially Disassociated today

hi guys.

just wanted to share this with you as it's kind of got me worried.

my brother who was also raised in "the truth™" met me in town today for a coffee.

Can you call Social Services for him? Somebody must be able to help in this situation to get him new caretakers.
If SS fails, you may not like it but some churches have volunteers that help people out. Other volunteer groups include things like Little Brothers (not sure if that is just a local one I saw or what). Find other resources to help. How about Goodwill?

p. 102-.......174 Jesus was not an angel or spirit being.....
p. 254 452........"And at that time shall Michael [God's representative, the Messiah] stand up........
p 230 "Twelve hundred sixty years from A.D 539 brings us to 1799-another proof that 1799 definitely marks the beginning of the "time of the end". This also shows that it is from the date 539 A.D that the other prophetic days of Daniel must be counted.
p231 The time of the Lord's second presence dates from 1874.
p 233 In Nahum 2:1-6 the Prophet records his vision of a railway train traveling at a high rate of speed, as another evidence of the day of (cont.234) preparation for the establishment of Christ's kingdom.
p 236 We should expect then, the general harvest of the gospel age to end in 1918.
p 236 We should therefore expect to find a harvest period from 1878 to 1918.......
p248....In the year 1919 many Bible Students in different parts of the earth,......blah,blah..blah.....proclaim the message....."The World Has Ended-Millions Now Living Will Never Die," clearly in fufillment in the words of the Master.......(caps are theirs) (again in same paragraph) Millions Now Living Will Never Die..... (also on various other pages)
p 279 ...The church of Christ consists of Jesus Christ the head and the 144,000
p307 ....and the song of the Lamb [the song of the clear fulfillment of prophecy and the unfolding of God's plan, as set forth in the New Testament; they are playing upon their harps adn praising jehovah.....(sorry I do not recognized the word jehovah and will not capitalize it, obviously it is in the book)
p 166 "Being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.....(why don't jw's capitalize He when speaking of Jesus?)
p 114 has a nice woodcut/etching of Jesus upon the Cross
p90 .....without pain and without suffering there was born to her Jesus, the Savior of the world.
p234 It was in the year 1874, the date of our Lord's second presence.....
p235 talks about all the wonderful new inventions of the time .."come to light since 1874, as further evidence of the Lord's presence since that date as follows: adding machines, aeroplanes, aluminum (didn't the wt go on to say aluminum was an invention of the devil at one point?) antiseptic surgery, artificial dyes, automatic couplers, automobiles, barbed wire, bicycles, , etc...etc....
This book is filled with crazy stuff.

Me thinks he dost protest too much!
He certainly seems to be fascinated and obsessed by young men in tight fitting clothing. He wouldn't be the first gb member in the closet.
