Great points Peacedog. The Borg is notorious for having WT study articles featuring Jesus Christ prominently in the article title and then spending 21 paragraphs minimizing him and propping up themselves as his proxy regents on earth.

I wondered why the CoBoE in my wife's congo wrote to the branch about me!
Amongst other very derogatory items he said,
"Brother fokyc spends a great deal of time doing research on the internet",
How he knows what I do or don't do is another question for the GB perhaps!
Maybe Jesus told him?

"I am he who searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds." (Rev. 2:23) That statement indicates that Christ observes not only the collective conduct of each congregation but also the lifestyle of its individual members."
The next paragraph says:
"Christ provides loving oversight of his congregations by means of appointed elders."
And then there's a photo that accompanys the point made in paragraph 9.
Two elders paying a visit to a young brother and his mom. There's a widescreen TV and a gaming system in the shot. A TV remote and game controller on the ottoman. One elder has his Bible open, the other elder has an actual game case open as if he's checking it's content and counseling the youngster about it.
Subliminal message given: The elders are authorized to review your entertainment choices and give counsel as they see fit.

Sd-7, it might have been satans' system overall, but the direct creator of the Internet was Al Gore. Hee, Hee. Wicked evil man Al.

Another point in that section, Undercover, is that the elders = Jesus Christ

And here I was thinking Al created the internet to solve Global Warming.

Yes, but ultimately, I think my wife (and the organization) would rather I surf porn than apostate sites. Really, who would be more disgusting to the organization, a person reading Playboy or Crisis of Conscience?

"I am he who searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds." (Rev. 2:23)
A watchtower lesson about a month or so ago also dealt with this and clarified that only Jehovah AND Jesus have this ability .... drove me nuts at the meeting, if Jesus is nothing more than the first created and special angel, would he have this ability?
Its amazing what you see when you remove the rosey glasses. The amazing thing is that it has been there all along and I just took it in and couldn't see the obvious ... I was under the influence.

Yep, that's it. It's about keeping dubs from the Internet as much as possible.
Face it, if a dub is willing to look at porn on-line, then he's only a few steps from looking at "spiritual porn" and the WTS knows it. Scare em from looking at anything and keep em under their control.
