Are you afraid of using your cell phone at the KH

  It's called envy. They don't have anything, so they don't want you to have it either (and it isn't justified by your having stopped them from getting it--they were the ones trying to stop you from getting it). Pure envy.

  Additionally, they are afraid of apostate web sites. When you get a "smart phone", those things can store data. You transport data from an apostate web site onto one of those things, and it can store it. Later (such as at the Kingdumb Hell), it is possible to retrieve such data. They are worried that you might be reading apostate material--especially since many of those things can actually download such web sites directly on the device instead of needing a computer hookup (more so lately). Back when cell phones simply took pictures, doing that was impossible.

  I surf here during the meetings. It's a great use of otherwise dead time.

  I have wondered how the wt deals with smart phones at the conventions. I would guess that a large segment of the attendees have smart phones. Given the adictive nature of these phones, how does the wt keep the attendees off their phones?

  They are working on a system right now. It stops the WiFi from working within so many meters. Problem with the system, is that in cuts off their sound system. We may have to go back to the days of shouting and dam all this technology.

  Interesting, dear AM (peace to you!). I have a Palm... and I get GREAT Internet access. My husband has a Samsung... oh, I dunno what you call it, but not an iPhone. Do they really think only iPhones have such access?

  And how can they block access, dear QB (again, peace to you!)? I mean, the airports can't even do that, can they (else why tell you to turn your "devices" off during takeoff/landing? Why not just block access... oh, wait... that might block "everything", eh?)?

  Do you really think they'll chuck the whole sound system to keep folks from using their phones in the Hall? Goodness gracious!

  Again, peace to you!

  SA, on her own... shaking head at the paranoia... and attempts to CONTROL... sheesh...
