Like any other organization, from time to time the Watchtower organization updates it policies and procedures. Such updating requires notice and it is not unusual to find directions that certain items be removed from a policy/procedure manual or file.
The Watchtower organization, however, goes beyond simple updating and removal of documents; Watchtower directs its local appointed representatives (“elders”) to destroy documents.
In year 2001 there was a particularly intriguing incident involving document destruction.[1] Notwithstanding that one incident, it is longstanding policy for Watchtower to have elders destroy documentation in various forms, including items documenting historical positions on its blood doctrine[1] as well as other policy and procedural concerns.[2-7]

Document destruction is not practiced by an organization concerned with truth.
