I think the GB and other key men of the WT org are scared shitless of the internet, look at all the hyped-up double talk designed to frighten the average JW from practically any form of two way comunication over the internet unless you absolutely know the person on the other end.
They must know their days are numbered and the internet will eventually break up their cover of darkness. The internet is here to stay and will become more and more a part of every day life of every one everywhere. The internet offers a flood of information in exposing mind control cults, and it is all in the privacy of your own home.
Can you imagine the uneasiness these spin doctors(GB) are feeling as they see their hypocrisy being exposed and more and more elders and others they rely on turning on them. They know also that there are many who are in the Org that are spies and want to do the most damage they can to the Wt before they get found out. The GB are sitting on a potential powder keg and they know it.
