My wife went to the Sunday meeting and said nearly everyone had ipads (tablet PCs) or laptops during the watchtower study with downloaded watctowers.
If they provide free WI-FI and coffee, I might start going again.

Nearly everyone? Like what percentage?
I would be really surprised if usage was greater than 25% anywhere. Most of the folks in there are not really the latest adapters when it comes to technology.

That is the most annoying thing ever!
There's this "brother" that even has a Coach cover on his Ipad... that's in addition to his Coach "man purse", yeah he is married but I'm not sure I buy his reasons to be married with his tight suit and thick frame glasses.
Anyways, do these brothers really do it for convenience or for show? I think they are trying to show off.
At the next meeting I'm taking my gamer desktop and get my three sceen set up in the middle of the hall.

my wife is quick to pick up on the trendiest things and when she saw one at the hall....well, she just HAD to get one. "Think of how CONVENIENT it will be!"
I said "Sorry, find your own $500. The mags are free."
Guess I'm just a dinosaur.

My wife said 'nearly everyone', she even told me a couple in their 70s both had laptops. If I had to guess what my wife's 'nearly everyone' meant, it would be at least 33%.

Wow! I still have ZERO in my hall. I've been waiting and waiting for someone to break the trend in, but nothing.

If you have a smartphone, you could set up a hotspot and call it something like, "go to jwfacts.com" or another similar site. Obviously this could bite you if anyone figured out who it was that was doing it.

Maybe I should go to the meeting an run a hotspot that redirects all web traffic to jwfacts.com. I don't think I'd need to call the hotspot "go to jwfacts.com". The mere chance at using the internet (rather than listening to the Watchtower reading) should be enough incentive to connect.
