    Why not?! It would save them $$$ not having to teach the R&F how to actually teach their drivel, all a witless would have to do is walk up to the door and press play on a wash-towel tutorial; and wouldn’t this give them total control over the spread of the “good news”?

    Reminds me of when ol’ Russy had R&F haul around heavy-ass record players to “preach” from door to door. Hell if the format worked before, why'd they stop?!

    Maybe they'll even start manufacturing wash-towel computers, at a reasonable over inflated price, to "distribute" (sell) to R&F that will keep track of circus time (lie) for you, auto download all new litter-a-turd (for a fee) and block all naughty stuff on the internet (everything not wash-towel); OOOH and best of all it will secretly spy on you and report back to mother.

    The JWs are all going to go out and buy laptops. To get to jw.org, they will have to have an internet connection. Better buy a smart phone too ... and a new bookbag to carry the new computers and equipment. Wow, going door-to-door just got about $1,000 more expensive. Cell phone bills are going up to $100 a month too. That's going to cut into the gas budget! I pity the poor pioneer.

    I predict that in 3 months after the July 15th issue, I expect alot of lurkers to introduce themselves - having been armed with 2 internet devices (smart phone & laptop). They will be lurking here, reading. I expect alot to first come on board debating us.

    Oh, I wonder what this Summer's convention is going to say about the Internet!

    I think alot of JWs are already on the Internet. But, they are "careful" as it's a dirty thing. My one JW person doesn't 'have time' for the Internet. I expect that many will "warm right up" to it. I think they've wanted the Internet to be open, like a kid in the candy shop. Looking, but not allowed to touch. THey are going to spend big money buying laptops. Seeing one JW in a magazine with one, is an open ticket to every JW getting one real quick.

    And, the best thing about a laptop, is that one can surf the Internet from anywhere. Get ready for the onslaught.

    Good, let's hope they start bringing a laptop. So much easier to direct them to apostate sites that way.

    If there was ever a time for us to get road billboards, advertising an apostate website . .. . .

    I doubt that the rate of internet/computer use is less among dubs under 50 than in the general population of the same age. Maybe dubs over 50 are less likely to use the internet than non-dubs, but I wouldn't even bet on that. I don't personally know anyone under 65 who doesn't have a computer and internet access at home or at work.

    Publishers in the deaf community use DVD players with prepared presentations. In a way, it's kind of like the old phonograph days.
