  I think we are about to see an explosion in the use of tablet devices. Google just announced what looks like will be the best tablet so far in the $199 price range, the Nexus 7; and there are already good choices in the sub-$200 range, like the Kindle Fire.

  I believe casual and non-technical users are going to possibly pick up one of these instead of what would have been their next laptop. We already have increasing numbrs of dubs eschewing the briefcase of books and just bringing their tablet to the meeting. Star Trek foretold the future...

  Could it be the WBT$ can no longer afford the CDs?

  One key change is in the number of devices that don't even have optical drives to use a CD-ROM. Netbooks, tablets, mobile phones, smart TVs, etc.

  CD/DVD ROM discs are amazingly cheap when purchased in bulk, cheaper than printing a book. With packaging, the cost of producing the CD-ROM library should be well under a dollar.

  The data mining thing shoud be an enormous benefit to them for reasons already mentioned. Also, any webmaster knows where your visitors came from, or if the address was just typed in, the length of time individual visitors spend on the site, what you click on while there, and if they partner with some companies, can look at the 'tracking' or 'super' cookies on your PC and see some of your web browsing history.

  i've been involved with the witnessess since 1976. my ex-wife was a baptised sister who fell in with the wrong crowd and left the fruth when she should have been disfellowshipped.

  thats another story.

  after returning home in 1980 from working in the u.s. navy, i contacked her parents and in 1982 started studying for ernest.

  This is the first I've heard of not allowing someone a KM because of a beard. Am I assuming they also are allowing you not to be a publisher? You certainly will not 'progress' in the orgainization if you have a beard.

  moomanchu said it. The real reason is the Judge.

  The WT doesn't believe in infant baptism, but does an 11 year old really understand what they're getting into isn't just a pool with a lot of people looking on?

  my dad reminded him about the ancient israelites who relied on jehovah and were provided with mana after their escape from egypt, the point was lost on him!.

  I have noticed an increase of talk about disaster preparedness. Pretty standard, common sense recommendations like having three days of supplies in the house, emergency contact lists...they even talk about individual families having bug out plans now, and of course want to know where you will be going if you bug out. They are even compiling records they are having dubs fill out with all this info.

  Is this something seen in other congos? I am wondering how much of this is regional or is it directions DIRECT from the GOVERNING BODY?

  I was just going to say...no references, logical fallacies, sweeping generalizations, and absurd pseudoscience...it reads like a lot of periodicals from this era.

  I thought this was spam, even after clicking through. If this is something you want to share with the forum, its a good idea to write a little text about what we are clicking to read about.

  And when I saw 'summer camp stories' in the link, I was expecting some kind of accounts of abuse, given the topic of the day...
