Evolution of jw.org

[coolbrz731]

I was on archive.org looking at how often jw.org changes it's front page.  I found a feature called changes.  This feature is awesome. Check this out. A side by side view of changes in jw.org. Simply select dates from either side, and hit restart, then show changes to reload the new selected dates:

Thank you for that.  You can bring up that website in archive.org also.  Some of the links even work.  I was seeing what the website looked like during random years, and I saw an article on chinese doctors(which I am a fan of).  The link worked, and I was able to read the article!  jw-media.org is another interesting site to "get nostalgic" on.

A very small step towards what we have now. Of course, we didn’t know then where this would take us. Makes me wonder what the future has in store before the end of this system of things. The brothers are working on exciting things, and some might actually come to fruition down the line, I’m sure.

This was the look of the "Official" website early on - but, there were the "un-official working copies" that were reviewed by the GB that looked much different than this (text only) before there was an actual Official site.

 

Wish I still had a copy of those pages
