Alexander Korda produced and directed the movie 'That Hamilton woman' in 1941. The lead parts were played by Lawrence Olivier as Admiral Horatio Nelson and his wife Vivien Leigh played Lady Hamilton. One day, onstage, Korda found Olivier only half dressed for his part as Nelson.
"What's the matter?" he asked. "Alex", Olivier replied, "the costume is fine, but I have one question -- which arm and which eye was Nelson missing?" There was a deadly hush. It was apparent that nobody knew the answer to this simple question. And since it was a Sunday there seemed to be no way to look it up. At last somebody remembered that there was on aged Hungarian opera singer living in Van Nuys who had played Nelson in a turn-of-the-century operetta which had briefly graced the Vienna stage. A studio car was instantly sent to fetch the old man. He was brought to the studio. "Old friend," Alex Korda said, " when you played Nelson in Vienna, can you tell us which arm and which eye were missing?" Imagine the effort to find the answer to two simple questions.
Now flash forward to May 18, 2015. I googled the following: Which eye and arm was Admiral Nelson missing?
Answer: Right eye and right arm. Total time to find out the answer? 40 seconds.
And this points to the great dilemma the Watchtower Society is facing and will continue to face with ever growing urgency. What the Watchtower Society could easily hide from the rank and file in the past, what teachings or events or publications they could obscure and control, they can no longer do so. A simple Google search can lead virtually anyone to volumes of information in short order. Information that they would probably prefer remains out of reach of the average JW.
